Pip, Farley and a Max Update

Hello Everybody, 
Because I am SO nice and such a good sister I am going to let Max take over MY blog on a Tuesday cuz him wants to give you all an update on his leg. 

But before Max begins, we is sending LOTS of Luv and boxer puppy prayers to our good furiend Pip.  
Pip is havin' some heart trouble and The Power of The Paw is needed fur him too! 

And we have some sad news to share, 

our good furiend Farley crossed over the bridge yesterday. 

Please go and visit his blog and leave a message fur his family.

Goodbye sweet Farley, we will miss you.

OK Max, it is your turn now...

Thank you Maggie Mae


So far, so good...
The medication and the limitation to my jumping, stair climbing running around with Maggie Mae all day and not stopping until we are both exhausted cracker dog activity seems to be helping.  I go back to Dr. L today for a meet and greet with the underwater treadmill.  Hopefully I will enjoy the experience because mom and dad are going crazy trying to figure out news ways to help get rid of all my excess energy so if I like to walk in the treadmill, it is a good thing. Mom actually had the nerve to say I have become a bit "more destructive" since they have started to limit my activity. I really don't know what she is talking about, but apparently she has something called evidence which was collected over the weekend to back up these preposterous allegations...

 Toilet paper from the downstairs bathroom 

A decapitated and partially destuffed toy

A desqueaked nonstuffie

 My crate bed...

and the mat that briefly replaced my crate bed

Mom, I have no idea how any of this happened, but in my defense, I have noticed a few more squirrels hanging around outside the house...

(That's my story and I am sticking to it!)

Your Buddy, 

Max

Thinking of Max

Hello Everybody!

Mom and me was wondering if all of you could keep Max in your thoughts today.

Just like our furiend Bailey, Max has been havin' some trouble wif one of his rear legs, only fur him it is his left one. Mom took Max to da V-E-T a couple of weeks ago and got some 

Antee-Inflammatory medicines to give to him and da V-E-T told her to limit our playtime too...bummer. 

Mom and dad thought that he was gettin' better, but now he is back to limpin' again.

(Mom says please excuse da messiness on da table her was doin' some computer work fur da church)

This mornin' mom is taken Max back to da V-E-T fur some x-rays on his hips.  We will let you know what da x-rays tell da V-E-T as soon as we can. 

I sure hopes him is gonna be OK

Woofs and Licks,

Da Story of Max Part I

Hello Everybody! 

I sure want to thank all of you fur makin' my 400th post and surprise celebration so much fun.  
Your Blogville welcome fur my new brudder Max was pawsome and we all thank you fur dat!

Now we want to begin to tell you da story of how Max became my brudder, and since it is Max's story I am gonna let's him do all da talkin'! 

Hey Max, is you ready to start tellin' your story? 

Yes I am Maggie!
OK new furiends, here is Part I of da story of me

Mom has wanted a new baby brudder fur Maggie Mae to exhaust her so she won't be such a pain plays wif fur a long time, but dad was not so sure. Mom knew her could get him to say yes but it was not gonna be easy and it might take a while. 

 One day in September, dad called mom up and said "You have to go to this website and take a look at this dog, I want us to try and adopt him"! Mom was very happy dad finally wanted to get another dog so mom went to the website to take a look, him was a cute dog fur sure,  but it wasn't me! 

Anyhoo... mom and dad filled out an application and e-mailed it to da rescue site and then waited fur a response.....

Except fur da automated e-mail response after submission of da application, after 5 weeks, 4 follow up e-mail inquiries AND a message left on dere voice mail, dey heard NOTHIN' from dem. 

(From mom : Of course animal rescue volunteers are very busy and the dedicated service they provide for unwanted animals is appreciated and respected but c'mon, no response at all after 5 weeks?) 

Mom and dad was VERY annoyed wif da rescue peoples so dey finally gave up on dem, wouldn't you? 

(We won't tell you who da rescue is BUT we will tell you dat dey is from da NORTHEASTERN part of da country and da BOXER is da type of dogs dat dey RESCUE.)

Dat night (Sunday), mom was kinda sad cuz of what happened or didn't happen wif da other dog so her started surfin' da internets and went to PetFinder.com.  

Her thought oh why not, and typed in some informations and
look who her found lookin' at her!

Dis is my best puleeze adopt me face...

 ...Mom thought I look sad and skinny in deese fotos

After readin'  'bouts me on my petfinder.com page mom jumped off of da couch and woke dad up cuz him was all ready sleepin' and snorin' in his chair showed my fotos to dad and said "He is the one I want"! 

Dad was not so sure him wanted to try again fur another dog, but mom ignored him WAS sure so her sent an email to da rescue peoples and within 2 hours her had a response and an application form to fill out. 

 By Monday morning, mom had worn dad down convinced dad dat I was da one to get and dey sent in da application. 

Well, dat afternoon mom gots a phone call from da adoption coordinator at the rescue and dey talked fur a while and before you know it a meet and greet was scheduled fur da next day!

to be continued...

Well, dat's da end of Part I of my story. In Part II, I will tell you 'bouts my first meet and greet wif Maggie Mae and mom!

Hey Max, 

you did a great job wif your first post. 

I hopes you come back to hear more of Max's story!

Woofs and Licks,

Maggie Mae and Max

Today we is gonna let you know about two very special ladies who lives at the 

Catskill Animal Sanctuary 

Located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Catskill Animal Sanctuary provides a safe and loving haven for abused and abandoned horses and farm animals—animals who have never known warm shelter, spacious pastures, good food, or the touch of a kind hand. Since 2001, CAS has provided refuge for close to 1,800 such animals, including horses, ponies, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs, rabbits, and a variety of birds.
