SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM SUNNY SOUTH AFRICA!!!
MAXDOG here...
We have decided to take a short break from blogging for the next week or two. It is a hectic time in our household at the moment with Christmas festivities and friends. We should be back during the second week of January.
In lieu of our absence we are putting up some of the photographs from the past year which have become the firm memories of our year.
We hope you will enjoy them and not forget us during our absence.
Dear furry-friends, please accept our warmest wishes for this Christmas and New Year season. You have all become really special to us in so many, many ways!!!
We will be thinking of you all during this time.
So here are some of our most favourite photographs, from postings during the year, with their captions below.
Enjoy...

What a wonderful walk down Memory Lane 2009, Max. Just when we thought we had found our favorite, there popped up another and another and another. We have truly enjoyed meeting you this year and look forward to making more memories together in the years to come.
Happy Holidays to you and all of your family.

Max, we have just thoroughly enjoyed looking through that great collection of photos! The NSLM is home sick from school still, sitting here beside his Mom and me and he was full of smiles looking at all those great photos of you. Well done to your Mom on a great post!
We wish you and all your family a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a great 2010.

I love your photo collection. It made me smile, time and time again. I especially love the one with Max pulling Toffee out of the pool on the floating board. Wow!

Hi Max,
So pleased to see that a fine Highland piper has made it all the way across the equator! What a splendid photo that is. But not half so splendid as the photos of your good self, Max, and the rest of your pack. Thanks for showing them all again - well worth a second look. My favourite is you with the Christmas stocking,. So patient and so hopeful. I do hope all your Christmas dreams come true!
And thank you for all the nice things you said on my blog about my 'achievements'. I am indeed proud to be an honorary South African (and so looking forward to the World Cup next year).
Cheers, H.
Those are all such wonderful pictures! We hope you have wonderful time off - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and we will see you again in 2010!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Merry Christmas, Max,Tammy, Toffee and Tommy! And your beloved family, too!
I love that banner picture of you in the pool!!
Did Santa come see you yet?
Every 30 minutes today, the TV weather man breaks into the TV shows to give a radar update on where Santa is, and when we saw the first one (at around 9:30 AM here, because we slept a little late today) - he said Santa was currently delivering presents in Australia - so I figure he must have made it to South Africa by now.
He won't come here for at least 6 more hours. I can hardly wait!
I have been a very good boy!
Happy Holidays!
Pawsome pictures! =)
Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

My Heart is ravisht with delight,
when thee I think upon;
All Grief and Sorrow takes the flight,
and speedily is gone;
The bright resemblance of thy Face,
so fills this, Heart of mine;
That Force nor Fate can me displease,
for Old long syne.
