We Are Back With Good News!

Hello Everybody!

Mom took Max to da V-E-T yesterday to get his leg checked out.  Him was limpin' on Sunday so her was very worried dat Dr. B would say dat he would need to have some surgery on it, but guess what? 

After much poking, prodding and manipulating Max's leg, Dr. B said dat his knee feels good so NO SURGERY is needed!

Max will always need to takes his glucosamine chondrotin pills, but dat is okie dokie. 

 Of course I, Nurse Maggie Mae, will watch him very carefully cuz if him starts to favor his leg for an extended period of time we will has to take him back to da V-E-T fur x-rays, but for now Max can FINALLY be a dog and do dog stuff wif me!

I was a good boy at da V-E-T

C'mon Max!  

You can play wif me now! 

You don't has to be on da leash anymore while you is in da yard either.... so let's go!

We can run...

 and play...

... and just have fun together! 

 Yay for Max! 

Woofs and Licks,

Maggie Mae and Max

Quick Update on Max from Mom

Hello again, 
The surgeon consult went well, Max allowed Dr B (surgeon) and  Dr. L (Physical Therapy) to manhandle him and he never reacted in a negative way and of course they all fell in love with him too, I am so proud of my boy. 

Dr B and Dr L seems to think, based on x-rays and physical exam,  that Max has a partial tear of his ACL, Max is back on Previcox Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) and a twice daily supplement called Move Free Advanced PlusMSM.  For the next 4-6 weeks he is restricted from basically everything. No running, stairs, jumping, rough play, etc...ugh! Two boxers, under the age of three who love to play like there is no tomorrow...wish us luck! 

He will be starting physical therapy and hydro therapy with Dr L in January.  I hope he likes water because Maggie does not! Then back to the surgeon in a month for another exam and maybe more x-rays. They also said that he has been injured for a while and it was ignored, so he does have some muscle atrophy and damage to his joints in his left leg, hopefully we can keep it from getting worse and avoid surgery, only time will tell. 

Thank you again for all of your support, we feel the love.

Janelle, 
Maggie Mae and Max

Da Story of Max Part II

Happy Wednesday Everybody!

Wasn't Max's first post good yesterday? 

I can't wait to hear Part II of da story...

Ooh wait, I all ready knows it, hehehehehe

OK I won't make you wait any longer so

Max, da blog is yours again, 

puleeze continue...

Thank you Maggie and hello again, it is me Max, one of your newest Blogville buddies.

I am so happy all of you came back to hear more of da Story of Me!

I will now pick up da story where we left off....

My first meet and greet wif Maggie Mae and mom is 'bout to happen....

OoH boy, here dey come!

I sure hopes dey like me.

How do I look?

Hello dere Maggie Mae, very nice to meet you.

(I was very polite to her)

After our introduction and a few hi how are you sniffs...

 ... I started to tell Maggie Mae 'bouts my life before today...

Well Maggie Mae, here is my story:

(as told to mom by the rescue peoples S and J)

Just before I came to stay here wif S and J (my rescue peoples), I did belong to a man and a lady and I lived wif dem in a house in a city not too far from here. 

Dere was little kids and a kitteh livin' dere too and I gots along wif dem really well. 

But even though I lived wif a family I was not treated like a family member.  Da big people in da house, especially da mean lady, did not take good care of me.

One day, da man got kicked out of da house left to live somewhere else so da mean lady who lived dere put me outside and would not let me back in da house, but I was still hangin' around da neighborhood cuz I didn't know where else to go. 

After a while of bein' on my own, someone called S and J and asked dem to come and take me away from dere.  
S and J came to get me and talked to da mean lady who told dem to take me cuz her did not want me anymore.

So that is what they did and dat is how I got to be here.

Maggie Mae listened to all of my story...

...and den her rushed over to her mom to tell my story to her!

When our meet and greet was over, Maggie Mae came up to me to say good bye.

Her told me dat I would make a great brudder AND her mom had fallen in love wif me and wants to be my mom too!

 Guess what else?

I was gonna come to dere house Friday night wif S and J to meets her dad! 

(From mom: and to see if Maggie Mae and Max got along at our house) 

If all went well on Friday night, her mom and dad will sign some papers so dat I can stay wif all of dem as a foster brudder.

OoH Maggie Mae, I will see you Friday! 

Let your dad know dat I will be on my best behavior Friday night so him will want me to stay wif all of you.

I think I did good today.  
Now I can't wait fur Friday!

Well, as you can probably figure out, Friday night went well, so dad and mom signed da foster papers so I could start livin' dere.  

 After the weekend was over 8.7 seconds of living wif dem, mom called S and J and said 

"He is our boy and we want to sign the adoption papers ASAP"!  

Later that week, mom took me to da V-E-T to have me checked out (all was fine) and microchipped. 

I had my you-know-what surgery on Thursday and that night I was adopted and my name was changed to Max.

(me at home recovering from surgery)

So ends da Story of Max and how I got here. 

Within 3 weeks of mom seeing my handsome face on petfinder.com,  I has my new furever home wif a great sister and a mom and dad who love me very much. 

From now on I will be well fed, warm, safe and happy!

THANK YOU to da first rescue fur ignorin' my mom and dad THANK YOU mean lady fur lettin' S and J take me from you...

...and THANK YOU fur listening to my story!

Your Buddy,

Max

Meet Gramps!

Great smiley face!

 

The staff calls me a senior but I'm not sure why. I may have some grey hairs but I'm far from old. I'm definitely a little wiser than some of the younger pits but I still have the spunk that they have. When I came in I had a large tumor on my tail which the amazing vet staff here kindly removed...Note the stub tail that I currently have. I don't mind it.. I'm actually glad because I'm less likely to get happy tail. So I can continue wagging my tail profusely whenever people walk by and greet me. So if you're looking for an older wiser handsome pittie then the name's "Gramps".

Gramps is so cool and him rides in style!

My paws is crossed fur you Gramps and I hopes you find your furever home soon. 

Woofs and Licks,

"Our furiends Sammy, Andy and Shelly had some scary stuff happen this month and were in danger of having to move from their home.  Thankfully that danger has passed, but those of us who have been "HATTED" by SAS wanted to do something special for them and for their mom, Miss Judi, because they have been so generous and kind to many, many bloggers.

On August 24th, Wednesday, (dat is today!) each of us who has been "Hatted" is holding a comment-a-thon and will contribute to SAS's 'donate' button on their blog.  

From Wednesday at 12:01 AM until Friday at 12:01 AM we will contribute .25 for each comment left on our blog.  Hope you come back and visit during that time!!

If you have been "hatted" by SAS or if they have done any artwork for your blog, please consider joining us in supporting them during this difficult time.
Thanks!"

Good News and Some Not So Good

Hello Everybodys!

Yesterday I went to da V-E-T. 

 I gots my stitches out so my ear tip is no longer nailed attached to my head...YAY! 

But my BooBoo ear still has not healed all da way so... 

... I has to wear my Babushka fur at least two more weeks AND I can't go back to daycare OR plays wif anybodys until my ear is all healed. :(

Thanks fur all of your good wishes!  

Dey will helps me to get better faster, I just know it!

Remington, I am sendin' you a smile! 

Woofs and Licks,

Maggie Mae

PeeS from mom: The notch in Maggie Mae's ear is permanent. 

Hopefully she will remember that she must be a little more cautious when approaching potential new friends, especially the older, little ones. :)

Thanks again for all of your good wishes and prayers!

No Meetin' Da Boys After All

Hello Everybodys! 

I couldn't go and meet my furiends Corbin, Emmett and Levi Mac last night cuz I had a little problem yesterday.

I managed to shakes da glue off my ear and it started bleedin' again.

So back to da V-E-T mom and me went dis time fur stitches. :( 

I gots a total of eight of dem in my BooBoo PLUS da V-E-T sutured my ear to my head to keeps my ear still AND to add "insult to injury" I has to wear a lunch lady net on my head fur a week! 

How humiliating!

Dis is me in da car on da way home.

Can you see my ear sutured to my head?

Anyhoo, in addition to da stitches and da lunch lady net on my head I had to stay home last night and sleep off da sleepy shot I gots

so no meetin' up wif da boys fur me. I hopes dat after I am completely healed I will gets to see dem cuz I sure miss dems. :( 

Mom is happy 'bouts one thing, da V-E-T gaves her some pills fur me to take so I can stay calm. 

Woofs and Licks,

Maggie Mae

PeeS note from mom:

The pills are a very mild sedative which Maggie Mae will be taking for the next week.  Without them, and the suturing of her ear to her head there would be a good chance of Maggie interfering with the healing process of her ear by shaking her head excessively and dislodging the clot. With her being calmer and her ear secure we have a chance of her wound healing properly. 
The tip of the ear is a very difficult place for an injury...who knew!

Trying to keep a two year old energetic boxer calm is next to impossible, especially my girl, so I am hopeful that this will work.

Wish me luck!
