Happy New Year Buddies...

I wanted to log on and tell you all what my New Year's Resolution is. I Maximillian the Valliant intend to spend more time biting Lily's butt in 2008. I figure it will be good for my manly figure.

My mom went totally goofy greeting the new year. She said it was some sort of funky sway kharma thingy. She put 27 dollar bills in her wallet and 49 coins, then sprinkled it with ginger. She ate fish (can't blame her there), she didn't talk about the past, just the future. She opened all the doors and windows at midnight to let the bad out and the good in. And (her personal favorite) she didn't do any cleaning today, or use any sharp knives. She says she wants all the good kharma and luck she can get for the new year.

Mom and I are back doing doggie transport. We are good at it, so we organize for one of our favorite rescues. They cover 5 states. I guess they needed help. Everyone is doing okay, but we've all had some extra meds. Wookie's back got all blistered and broke open. Mom and the vet said he had some kind of allergic reaction. The poor guy has to go to the vet for bandage changes, like EVERY WEEK!

Mom had to got to Lost Vegas in early December. She had our pet sitter stay here, she is kinda goofy. But Duncan had to stay at the vet because he doesn't like her. Wookie stayed there too because of his back. The pet sitter got in a fight with Lily because Lily took her chocolates. I had a touch of bronchitis too. Duncan beat up Charley one day and he almost had to have stitches. Mom was ticked off. Charley is so nice, I can't imagine why Duncan lit into him.

We had a big, black lab puppy named Max come and stay for a weekend a few weeks back. Boy Evie had a good time playing with him. Mom called him the "Big stupid puppy." But I know she really liked him. I think she just didn't want to confuse me. It is all about me afterall.

I think Evie was missing the big stupid puppy because she started to play tug with Duncan using my oldest human brothers brand new orange teddy bear. Ripped his head clean off. Mom did emergency surgery tonight while the little humans are at Nana's house.

Well, sorry I haven't been writting much. I hope to do better in the new year. I hope some of Mom's Funky Sway comes to all my friends out there too!

PS...I didn't have to dress up in antlers for christmas this year!! But I saw Bussie's picture - dressed as an elf. Bahahahahahaahahhahahahaha.

Meet my new housemates

I think I told you guys about my Mom's new foster Charley. Here he is. He is pretty nice, he can't hear so when Lily barks at him he ignores her. It is too funny. She doesn't quite get why he doesn't seem afraid of her.

And here is HeatBlast. Yes, my human brothers named him for a cartoon character. He is a dwarf hamster. Mom says he looks like a border collie pingpong ball. He came home tonight. My mom says he belongs to my human brothers. I think my Mom is nuts. He certainly didn't sit still for pictures.

Oh, and there is a new cat in the basement too. But he doesn't like us dogs, so he stays in the basement. I'll get a picture of him soon.

Hello Gentle Pups...

So much news so little time...

But I wanted to thanks Miss Opy for my birthday wishes! She is my best girl...

Here is a picture of the house Mom is looking at right now. But we still need to sell this one.

Please help...

As a member of the rescue network I would like to ask you all to go and look at this petition. I don't know how people can be so cruel to someone who was trying to help one of us....it just doesn't make any sense to me.

"Dismiss Charges Against Tammy Grimes and Press Charges Against Animal Neglector/Abuser" petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/839437813.

Thanks Maxey

hello....

Hello all my barky friends. I haven't been able to post in a while. Life is busy. We've had a ton of thunderstorms that I've had to bark away. It has left me a bit exhausted and sore. My feet are really sore and Mom has to carry me up and downstairs. Makes it hard when you want to go outside to relieve yourself.

We had a couple of birthdays here too. My youngest human brother turned 4 and my Mom turned 29 again. They took a trip to a local zoo. Wouldn't take me though, even though my favorite person, Nana, went too. Mom put my 6 yo human brother in charge of the pictures. Take a look.

Here is a picture my 4 yo human brother took.

Here us a picture of Nana, Mom and my littlest brother, Seth. Kinda blurry but they look happy.

This guy looks delicious. M-the-V
