Dear Readers and faithful friends,

After a number of years of wonderful blogging, this blog has effectively become dormant - except for occasional updates regarding my book, MAXDOG. I have left this blog as a legacy to my dog and a place of sanctuary where we can reflect upon his life. Take your time, peruse the pages spanning Max's 18 months in cyberspace. Feel refreshed and uplifted because his story is an amazing one of..."LIVING LIFE TO THE MAX!"
My activities have now moved on to my new blog entitled "LIVING LIFE TO THE MAX". Please join me there where you can read about my family and canine companions. I also invite you to visit MAXDOG's FANPAGE on FACEBOOK. You can follow the specific links by clicking below:

If you would like to follow me on a deeper, spiritual level, then I invite you to visit my more personal blog:

May God bless you and thank you for following me!
MAXMOM IN SOUTH AFRICA

MAXDOG's CHRISTMAS TRIBUTE

Tuesday, September 8, 2009

A HUGE SOUTH AFRICAN WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS

mmmWOOOF!!!


We have heard the exciting news that Mango and his Clan will be paying a visit to our beautiful country in the next couple of days.
We would like to officially welcome you all. We truly hope you will enjoy your stay and encourage lots tourism to SOUTH AFRICA.
We thought that, by way of preparation, we should desensitise you and familiarise you with some typical South African scenery.
In addition to this, be sure that you consult your Morse code handbook. We have 11 Official languages. "Dog" is not one of them!!!








For those who perhaps don't speak English or any one of the other 10 official languages, you may read your message in Morse code:

.-- . .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . -.-- --- ..- - --- --- ..- .-. .-- --- -. -.. . .-. ..-. ..- .-.. -.-. --- ..- -. - .-. -.--

(If you still can't read it, you may translate it, by copying, pasting and converting it via the following link:)
Lots of licks

Max! Those signs are really confusing the Mango. Do you think Dennis writes them? Teka Way sure sounds like Dennis speak to me.

How ever do you manage?

Slobbers,
Mango

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Oh Max...

(Lacie lowers her lashes and bats them furiously....)

OH MY....

You are even more handsome in person!!!!!

(Lacie begins to perspire...she carefully unfolds a tiny lacie hankie and dabs her forehead....)

OH this trip is going to be the best yet!!!! Thank you for inviting us in spite of Mango...

And, my pet...don't believe everything he says about me...

AND I DON'T HAVE A GIANT BUTT...GOT THAT?

(Lacie looks horrified at what just popped outta her mouth...)

I mean...of course that I am sooooo looking forward to adventures with you....(she coughs...)I mean with all the dogs and zebras and thingies....

Perhaps I should go powder my nose...this humidity....(before she digs herself in any further...)

So glad to meet you Max, dear!!!!

Kisses...

Lacie..

And her two stoopid brothers....

TwoSpecialWires said...

Max. We hear there is magic in Africa, if not South Africa. Please work your magic on Lacie. (Mango can take care of himself. Probably so can the rest of your visitors.)

Enjoy your company. We'll enjoy it vicariously.

Luv,
Jake and Fergi xxoo (a little confused by the signs... sometimes we take things too literally...this interpretative stuff will be good for us)

Stella said...

Thanks for the invite, Max, it would be loads of fun to come visit you.

The signs were the best, you could take pictures of them all, and make a book that would sell lotsa copies!

Have lots of fun with the Mango Tour!

Kisses,
Stella

The Army of Four said...

Ha roo roo roo! It's almost like my sister Ammy helped write some of those signs! :)
Play bows,

Clive said...

Those signs are just brillant!

Duke said...

OMG, those signs are just wonderful! Mango and his clan are going to be so thankful for the heads-up, Max!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

D.K. Wall said...

First, we are so confused. We thought that Dog was spoken everywhere. After all, we have spoken to German Shepherds and Belgian Tervurens and Scottish Terriers and English Bulldogs and . . . Well, you get the idea.

As for the signs, our human said the pothole sign was a given.

Unknown said...

Those are some great signs!

Tweedles -- that's me said...

I just love coming to visit your site. I just never know what I get to see , or read or hear! It is like a little field trip with a tour guide and many friends. I love coming here!

Hi, Max!

I am sure you all are going to have a pawesome time! (Lacie included)
Kisses and hugs

Joe Stains said...

I simply cannot wait, I think we should be arriving VERY soon!!

Angus said...

You've reminded us to get a dog sitter for the dark cold days of January and get on down to the Cape.

Domi said...

My girl said to let you know that she loves those photos. She also hopes to someday be able to travel to Africa. It sounds like a really long CAR RIDE so maybe I'll come too.

Tailwags,
Domi

Rocky Creek Scotties and Rocky Creek Ramblings said...

Wonderful signs - our Mom had to figure out how far 9600 klics is in miles - 576. Quite a ride with potholes all the way.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

BRUTUS said...

You have some crazy signs down there! The last one that combines the handicap symbol and the gator - can only imagine the scenario that made it necessary!! Oh, and I might be a little out of line here, but you'd think someone living in safari-land coudl get it right -I hate to tell you but that's not a baboon, it's a gazelle.. BOL!!
Good luck with Mango & his possee - think you might have to create a whole new group of signs to warn of things once he shows up!!

Snorts-
Brutus the Frenchie

Golden Samantha said...

I can see why RH is a little concerned about the sign-speak over theres. I'd be a bit wary too. (The wheelchair headed for the croc has me specially concerned)..But I know you will be the ultimate tour guide and everyone is going the have the best time, pith helmets and all!
