GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!
MAXDOG here.....
MAXDOG here.....
You might be asking...WHY DO YOU HAVE A KIWI BIRD ON YOUR SOUTH AFRICAN BLOG?
Well, today we are celebrating NEW ZEALAND!
Yes, last night the NEW ZEALAND Cricketers won their game against England at our Wanderers stadium!!!. To say it was a walkover is an understatement.
CONGRATULATIONS NEW ZEALAND!!!
---xXx---
Ok, let's get on with why our hearts are so happy today!
We have read, on many occasions, from blogger's posts, of your delight in receiving packages from furfriends. We have watched in awe and envy. Unfortunately we have such a bad postage system here in South Africa that we thought we would never be able to receive such a package from across the big ocean. Indeed, we are hesitant to even enter such competitions (or host them) because of the poor and expensive postage service.
Anyway, yesterday we discovered what it is REALLY like to receive a package from one of our special furfriends!
I can tell you, without restraint, that it's totally exciting!
It brings unimaginable pleasure!
It converts our 'cyber-friend' to someone totally REAL!
We are absolutely thrilled!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, HONEY!
Ok Mom....what IS this???
It is addressed to MAXDOG, but is it REALLY for me?
Eish Mom....this is THRILLING!!! What is INSIDE???
Look at all the goodies: CHEWY TREATS, A SPECIAL TOY
and a note from HONEY!
OOOOOOO....YES....I remember...I won the Amateur Drooler in Honey's slobber competition!
Did I really get a prize Mom?
OK, I will contain my excitement and sit nice and still, so that I can share my bounty from Honey, with ALL my furry friends!
Aren't I lucky!
Mom said I could choose which one first....those chewy treats smelled really yummy!
Mom opened them up for me nicely...she said I'd eat the lot without her managing me!(Yep, I probably would!)
By way of thanks, I will even let that KIWI sit on my forehead....for HONEY!
...and I will let Mom tie bows in my ears....for HONEY!
OK, Formalities over...it's time to TUG!!!!!!
Me in my spot...with MY new TOY!!!
Oooooo...it's soooo nice to chew on!!!!!!
TOFFEE really enjoying his treat!
Well, I would NOT let my new TUG toy out of my sight. When the excitement started to die down, I settled in between the chairs in the TV room.

Oooooo...it's soooo nice to chew on!!!!!!(HONEY says that this is one the the top-selling dog toys in Auckland! It is the rubber udder attachment for milking cows on dairy farms!)
I just love it!!!
Mom played "Fetch" with me too last night
(She got one of her accomplices to give the other doggies some of MY treats while we played!)

THANK YOU, SO MUCH AGAIN, DEAR HONEY,

SOUTH AFRICA!!
You have put the REALITY back into ALL my cyber-friends and I am very grateful!
Lots and lots of licks to ALL of my friends in cyber-space

That Honey is a great shopper, huh? You got to keep your moo toy? Mine got confiscated due to Pee-Wee causing a fuss and now I can only play with it under supervision. Sigh.
Those tendon things are most yummers. I haven't tried the candy bar yet. Now you have a photo of the most beautiful Honey to put over your bed. I hope Tammy isn't the jealous type.
Slobbers,

Oh Max u r one lucky dog.. how cool is that ... in days when personal mail is a thing of the past, and random actos of kindness few and far between... Honey and Hsin-Yi are a rare dynamo.. great post you gave me 'smile of the day' :)
Im going to hunt down one of those cow udder contraptions they look pure canine bliss
Hi Max

Dear Honey dog - what a great pal to send you all that cool loot! LOVE the moocow pull toy and never heard of it til now, but it sure sounds udderly pawtastic! And the treats must be yumzers too - everybuddy's enjoying them - you are kind to share Max. And bootifully trained to host a spot on your head for a Kiwi birdie. How cute they are! Here's to New Zealand day over there! And to Honey too! Good slobber job Max!

Hey there Max!! Kongrats on your awards and goodies!! That red ribbon sure looks nice on you and dats mighty generous of you to be sharing your treats with Toffee! Enjoy your day!
Cheers,
Maxx
We need one of those udders. Well, we may need six of them. Because one of us will always be after the others udder and then the other will go after the other udder and . . . Never mind.
Woooos Max! What a great gift to have arrived in the mail. I know even here in the states the mail is not always reliable and I never received one of my presents, sniff, sniff.... anyway, cool toys and great post thanking Honey, I am sure she is smiling at woo now!
-Kira The BeaWootiful
Aww, that is really cute!
Great pictures. I guess you wouldn't want to interrupt Toffee when he's got a treat. I tried to answer your question about the word 'Cavalier' on the comment section of the blog ( if you can't access it let me know). I promise to do some more digging.Nothing like a good challenge!
Yippee for Maxdog! I am so glad you won these prizes and that your mail people decided to send them on to you!
I know you will have a good time chomping away today and ? how much longer.
Kisses,
Stella

Hi Max - what an exciting day you've had. Parcels in the post are the BEST. Wow, what a lot of great loot you got - that moocow toy looks like great fun, you sure do have a look of bliss on your face whilst you're chewing it! And those treats - oooh, we're almost drooling on the keyboard. Honey is so generous - but you're a winner so deserve to enjoy your spoils! Great post - it put a huge smile on our schnuazer faces! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

PeeEssWoo: Honey's humans are furry nice too!
You got some really neat presents! That tug toy is very unique and looks like a lot of fun. I wonder if we can find one of those here since there are so many dairy farmers here.
Awesome pressies Max!!!
Smileys!

How cute is that little bird, I don't think my dogs would ever let a bird sit on there face! I love your blog! All the way in So. Africa,,,
OH Max - I'm so pleased you got my parcel!! Whew! I guess we were lucky with the postal service!
What an awesome post! Thank you for the lovely mention - I wonder if you have any other Kiwi doggie friends...they would be feeling very proud after your great post! (ps. my human says she didn't know about the NZ cricker team - she is going to forward your post onto Paul at work coz he is mad about cricket!)
Am so happy you like the prizes, especially the moo cow toy - I haven't met a dog yet who doesn't like it!! :-) I hope you might be able to play tug with it with one of the other doggies in your pack...I LOVE playing tug with it coz it is really stretchy but still strong and it doesn't hurt my teeth, like some of the other harder tug toys.
Congrats again, Max - your slobber entry was awesome! :-)
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Yay, what great pressies! Congrats, Max!
Luv,
Cloud
