Tuesday SOLSC 6/26/12 - An update from Max on The Girls

It's been a rather rough week - I haven't gotten much sleep, you see I have to keep one eye open and my ears alert at all times to see and hear what is happening.  I'm an old dog and I really need my rest, but I want to play with the girls and make sure they're ok.

I think Mom & Dad have changed my name to "Max go lay down" because that's what they are always telling me, especially when they eat.  The girls have been too good and don't drop anything on the floor for me to clean up (big sigh).

M likes to play with me - she gets my toys and tosses them so I can go get them.  She helps Mom feed me.  P on the other hand is rather frightened of me, especially when I bark (but I'm just getting back at her because I don't like it when she screams).

They take me for a walk every morning and I show them all the special sights on our road and have introduced them to all of the dogs.

We've seen lots of deer, even a tiny little faun and I've been really good and not barked at them.

Yesterday, I got really excited because everyone was getting ready to go to the lake.  Now I really like going to the lake, but hey, wait, Mom & Dad said I couldn't go (pout).  I had to stay at home all by myself.  I was really sad, but I did get a really good rest while they were gone.

The time is going really fast and I know they'll leave at the end of the week and then I'll be lonely (but I'll get my beauty sleep every day.)

    Oh Max...you and Chloe need to get together. You have so much in common. And you would like visiting on the lake...the grandkids drop lots of food! Have fun with the girls the rest of the week.

    It's amazing how fast time goes when were with the people we love but don't get to see on a daily basis... as much as Max is happy to get rest I just know he will miss them! ;-)

    As much as Max doesn't think he likes all the company, he'll be sad when we go - I'm sure he'll be snooping around to see where we might be!

    Good dog, Max! You were a great guest author. Did you sneak on the computer when everyone else was at the lake?

    Aww Max, I was waiting to hear how things had been going for you. I hoped that you'd be getting a little extra kibble by now, but since the girls are so neat that hasn't worked in your favor. Enjoy the rest of your time wtih the girls-and tell your mommy and daddy to do the same!

    I love the voice of this piece. It's always tricky to do things like this, but you did it really well.

    You must be a great dog Max to endure all those busy times, yet no food dropping & a name change to "Go lay down Max". Sorry, but I imagine the extra loving must count for something. Thanks for letting us know how you're doing!

    Thank you for sharing your perspective, Max. I am sure that Mom and Dad will pamper you extra when the visitors are gone. They appreciate the patience that you have shown.

    You are such a good dog, Max, to share your home with the girls. I can see that you understand how much they are loved. And it's easy to see how much you are loved too. What nice insight into a happy family. You are a lucky dog - and a good writer, too.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
