Hey everyone! MAX, your Tourguide here...
It's a beautiful new, sunny day here in SOUTH AFRICA!
Tammy and I got up early this morning to do our rounds. Our hung-over guests were still sleeping off the effects of all their partying. But we are diurnal creatures and we seize the moment, so we got off to an early start.
I scouted the garden for any intruders...none!Then I checked on Toffee and he's coming along nicely. He says that I must say a big
THANK YOU!
to ASTA for the flowers. He was truly impressed and is now smitten!!! Oh boy!
The compost heap was still there, but I think some of my poochy guests had a romp in it yesterday. Never mind....the customer is KING!---X---
HOWEVER!!!!!....
Then Tammy and I did our early morning check on the animals...
WE WERE HORRIFIED!
Our GIRAFFES are now scared of coming out from behind the trees!
This is seriously bad for tourism!
What on earth have my guests been up to?
----
The CROCODILE is laying on the sand bank...totally stuffed!
...and our resident LION looks calm!?!
Has he also fallen for some of the girls' charms?!?
...our HIPPOS have now deserted their pod and are sleeping off the day!!
BUT, the WARTHOGS (in the background) are still balking at being accused of cheating at pool!
(Indeed they asked me to evict our guests...as they noticed a
culinary, 'bacon' glow in Petey's eye!)
---XXX---
Well there is only one thing to do....
SOUTH AFRICA SEEMS CALM
so Tammy and I trekked back to our house and decided that the best thing would be to....
SLEEP OFF THE DAY!
zzz-ZZZ-zzz

Im not sure what they fed him, or indeed WHAT he has eaten, but he's going to take weeks to recover.

Max Dog!
I am beginning to like it here. Looks like the beasts of South Africa really know how to meditate hugely. That is my most favorite activity next to dancing.

Hi Max - you do indeed live in a beautiful country. Today in England it is cold and dreary and we can't even see the sky, just a grey drabness - sigh! Your tour has cleared up the whole household! Schnuauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
Max you certainly have an exciting place to live. We don't have any cool animals like you do.. Thanks for the tour...
Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie
We are enjoying following the African adventure made even more special by the stunning photograps.
You are indeed living in the most wonderful country.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Where is Tommy in all your adventures?
Mack
And where is Joe? Isn't anyone looking for him?
This is quite shocking to me!
Kisses,

What wonderful animals! It's a good thing everything checked clear after your party!
Sam
Looks like your tour has been a roaring success!
Poor Toffee, though. That can't have been very comfortable for him. Thank goodness your mum is so tuned in to you guys.
You do live in a beautiful place and thank you for sharing it. I am glad that you are able to rest today. I think you will need it.
licks and sniffs, Sasha
Hey Max & gang! Thanks for sharing your beautiful country with us all. You look handsome in that photo. You got some nice curls there...
Smooch,
Saggy Gold Dancer
Great tour Max! and brilliant photos. We had some sun in Scotland today but it rains most of the time and the only wild animals I see nearby are rabbits and squirrels. Mind you, at least I feel safe chasing them, some of your animals do look a bit big and fierce!
Max..you really make us want to visit. What an absolutely amazing place you have!
You are a beautiful dog ...we left you an award a few days ago on our blog..stop by when you can, I know you are very busy :)

Hey Guys
In answer to some questions:
"Where is Tommy?"...Well, Tommy is an old dog you see! He's well respected, but rather deaf and slightly short sighted. He generally avoids the hectic action, but relies on all the other dogs to show him the way. Most of the time he's simply sleeping in the corner or close up next to Max, Tammy or Toffee. He generally keeps to his own (but is quite content).
Now, as to the whereabouts of our errant overseas visitor -Joey-well that is is another question. I know Im the tour guide here, but I seem to have lost one of my guests....ooops! Experience has taught me that when guests go 'walk-about', it's better to just grant them their independence. Joey's passport says that he is no longer a puppy, so, I think I can rationalise it that way?
But Im still worried though, since the recent newspaper reports of some blow-torch, falling missile that has started a bush-fire somewhere...
The Saga continues...
Lots of licks and happy dreams
