They call me Max

Where to begin...

Ya know being a dog has it’s advantages. {{{tapping paw to head in thought}}} we get all kinds of attention around my house. Why just this morning mommy fed me and Storm canned food from a fork. It was sure yummy and a nice treat from having to bend over a food dish on the kitchen floor. Even tho somebody {{{throwing a glare Stormy’s direction}}} has food allergies now and we don’t get chicken or beef cooked for us every day… we still eat pretty good. Mom reads every label on everything {{{rolling eyes}}} before feeding it to us, does she know we could starve while she reads??? I don’t have any food allergies but miss priss does so I have ta eat what she has mom says. It’s not sooooo bad.

My arms are healing up really good, I have a little bit of a scar but mom says that gives me character… whatever that is while daddy says I AM a character {{{looking confused}}}! Mom watches me constantly go up the ramp but sometimes she doesn’t see me when I leap from the top of my ramp into the snow…{{{heh heh heh, I still got it}}}

OH! The snowplow guy just drove by our house… {{{THANK YOU SNOW PLOW GUY}}}!! It has warmed up to the high 20’s now and the ice is forming what daddy calls “daggers” ice cycles down the sides of our house and slippery on the walkways… we have ta be very careful not to slip… mom did the other morning and she fell so I got to spend the day with my head on her lap cuz she couldn’t walk very well. I love those kind of days!

So on that note I think I’ll go hold my daddy down on the couch so he can’t move and watch sci fi on the tv.
{{{{he gets scared and I protect him from the monsters, grrrrr}}}

I wish all my pals a very happy new year and may all doggies on the planet have warm homes and all the bones they can chew!! See ya in 2009!! Arrrrooooo

Wow THANK YOU!

Thank you to all my pals that sent me emails at home and thru dogster sending me get well wishes and to get better soon. You guys are just the bestest ever!

When mom came home today from work I ran to her wagging my tail and all happy to see her. She was shocked! I'm not supposed to be running... so I kinda got in trouble with lots of hugs and kisses too!

Then daddy helped her change my bandages and I got to see what my arms look like... I think that my vet is a GOD!! I could hardly see where the big gash is and there was no more blood!! It's amazing! So we wrapped up my arms again with all new fresh bandages and I'm kinda sore from all that activity and stuff. Plus peroxide tastes really nasty... {{{{ick!}}}

So thanks again everybody for all the well wishes - I luv ya!!

Take a word of advice - DON'T JUMP OUT WINDOWS!

Sunday me Stormy and Lucy are in the house watchin TV and all of a sudden I heard this really mean bark! {{{GASP}}}} That dog was barkin at my MOMMY and DADDY!! {{{GRRrrrrrrRRRR}}}

NOBODY talks to my mom and dad like that!! So I took a run at the kitchen door but was a little high and I went thru the window instead of opening the door.... uh oh... I cut myself up pretty bad...

My left - arm - as mom calls it cut all the way to the bone and I may have a real problem with the tendon that was severed. Time will tell my doctor says. But my right - arm - has a couple of cuts that just took a few stitches, not as serious as the left. I guess I lost allot of blood from cutting the vessels too. So I got to have a pedialite type drink to help restore my blood and fluids.

Mom slept on the living room floor last night holding me cuz I really hurt and was still kinda rummy from the surgery. I would cry then she would cry... Stormy laid close by keeping an eye on both of us.

So now I have a cool new ramp off the deck cuz I can't use stairs and we have a new wood grain window in the door. I get my stitches out in 10 days but can't do ANYTHING until after New Years... that's a long time. I can't put much weight on my left foot but I can gimp outside if I have to go... you know... "potty".

Mom still cries and feels so bad cuz I hurt but there's nothing she can do. I do love it when she just holds me and talks soft in my ear. My entire family has been pretty awesome, my girls Jess and Kaylee, my human bro Jamie and his wife Sammy - she held my leg all afternoon to keep pressure on it and refused to leave my side even when mom asked to take over! She loves me too. I am a lucky dog,
