On Saturday we are going on holiday! At least the humans are...and they are off to the beach for a week by the seaside. The picture above is the view of Table Mountain (in Cape Town). Our humans are however NOT going to Cape Town, but will be going to the sea along the EAST coast of SOUTH AFRICA. Unfortunately Mom will not be able to blog during that time, so we are trying to fill up with exciting blogposts before they leave!
We have some exciting news...
Yesterday we received the most awesome award from Petey!
Petey's wonderful and creative Mom has designed this award - an award which we think is a truly amazing one!
It's the "YOU'RE A BLESSING AWARD!" and is a brand new award in bloggie-land!
Thank you so much Petey for this award. It is very, very special!
"This award is to be bestoed upon five individuals with the hopes that they will cut and paste the badge above for their blogs, then honor five more and so on and so on... "
Although ALL our friends are special to us and have been such a blessing to us in the past few months, we have had to choose five special people. So we give this award to them with absolute thanks and gratitude for the extra special roles they have played on our life:
1. TO COCORUE
Our little flirtylicious COCO! Thank you for the delightful bantering which Max & you have - on the chat box - and on the blog! Thank you also for your constant message of hope and warmth. Thank you for sharing your friendship with us...you are a real blessing to us!
For those who don't know, Tessa's mom battles a lot with her health yet still manages to blog. She has gone beyond this blog to email us with uplifting messages and guidance during our ordeals. We so appreciate them! Thank you - you are a blessing to us!
You are such a blessing to us in that you allow us to experience the altruistic aspects of life. We love your poetry, your vision and the manner in which you convey it! Thank you!
Who can't love MANGO & DEXTER! Thank you for blessing us with your incredible sense of humour, your creativity and for ALWAYS putting a smile on our faces. Thank you for all the support you have given us on the sidelines too. We appreciate you immensely!
Thank you for bringing Kona's story to us and for taking that special step to offer him a forever home. You have shown us the beauty of rescuing a dog and the joy for that dog in finding the freedom he deserves. You are an inspiration in so many ways...and a real blessing!
Whilst I can write books for each of our blogging friends, I am restricted to five. Thank you to all of you for the blessing you are to us in simply being our blogging friends!
We love you all and wish you all...
A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Oh dear! Oops! So you have seen my attire! Ouch!
Okay, I'll tell you...Mom has ridded me of the bandages! At first, I thought I felt
'f-r-e-e-d-o-m-!'
but not for long!
Unfortunately I started scratching when the bandages came off, so Mom thought she'd put PHANTOM & THUNDER's idea into practice. Hey guys, what have you done to me? Mom says that it works well! I must admit, it is quite comfortable and stops me from scratching. I am seeing the Vet on Friday...maybe he'll take my stitches out!?! Not sure about the T-SHIRT though!
Anyway, this new T-Shirt effort is quite calming and comforting.
TOFFEE thought he'd relax too!...
Until supper time!...
There is just one other thing which I want to show to my bloggie-friends.
Since we will be away for a week from Saturday, I thought we'd get a special sign for our house.
That's all for today! We'll TRY and get one more post in before the family goes on holiday.
Lots of licks

Good idea to scare people away while you are away. I think your shirt is quite sporty.
And thanks for the award and nice words.

Mango
You look most handsome in that T-Shirt, Max!
Congrats on the award!
Congrats on the award! I have always wondered about putting a shirt on to cover healing incisions but worried he would still scratch. Glad it is working and hope we never have occasion to try it but if we do we will try it!
We are dying to know what your shirt says on the front though!
What a nice award! That was very sweet!
I am glad your going on vacation. It is always good thing to get away!
Have a great day!
My mommy put a shirt on me too during my recent boo-boo catastrophe. I liked it so much that I asked her to put it on after I got the stitches out yesterday!
She didn't take any pics though cause she said I'd be to bareassed. What's bareassed?
awwww Maxi, you look so cuuute and well...
TQ TQ TQ for the wonderful award and we feel blessed and quite speechless.....thanks for being in our lives too
who's looking after you when your parents are away??????? give them our love and tell them to enjoy this well deserved break and to keep safe

How nice to have some rest and relaxation time after some difficult days! Have a wonderful time and I don't know if the sign will be effective . . .maybe hire a boerbol for the week!

Excellent choices on the awards - and congratulations to you as well.
And, Max, we think the t-shirt is quite styling. Setting the bar high for the rest of us.
Have a great holiday!
We think you look adorable in your T shirt Max - now don't be scratching!
Congratulations on your great Award.
We hope your humans have a wonderful holiday.

You look most handsome in your t-shirt, Max!
Your vacation sounds like it's going to be fun!
Congratulations on you award!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
My mom tried to put a shirt on me once. Just once. Max, my friend - just rip it up! It'll teach your mom NOT to try that again. Or... don't Goldens do things like that? nah, maybe not. But maybe you could try it!
Tail wags,
Storms
PS: Hope your mom has a lovely holiday! Make sure she takes lots of pictures!
Hi Max
Congrats on getting that great award from Petey too!
We think that t-shirt looks great on you Max!
take care
Clive
Congratulations on your award! And we are Thankful to know you on our Thanksgiving day Max!!!
Hugs Joey and Kealani
Congrats on the award!!! You look so cute in your tshirt! Great idea. Tell you Mom to have a great vacation and to take lots of pics (thats from my mom).
Max, you look great in your t-shirt. I had to wear one this summer and I really wasn't too happy. Mom thought it was that I didn't want to wear the shirt, but it was more that I was just plain miserable from my nasty surgery. We are sure your shirt will help keep your incision safe from your paws.
We hope your humans have a wonderful vacation at the beach and that you will all be back soon.
Happy Thanksgiving, the OP Pack
What a fun award. Beautiful and relaxing pictures. Hope you are feeling well Max. Happy almost Turkey Day to you!
Benny & Lily

We're back! Hopefully in time before you leave to thank you, again, for honoring us with the lovely You're a Blessing award. It has been delightful to see that it is making its way around the blogging world from Petey's and your beginnings.
We hope your vet visit goes well. And that your week away brings some relaxation. We'll be thinking of you, and feeling thankful for your friendship.
Love to everyone
Jake and Fergi and family
Wishing you and yours the most blessed of days as we break bread with friends and family or spend our time as a volunteer with any one of the numerous charities in need of our time and talents.
Peace, plenty, prosperity - my wish for the United States of America.
