Shine on!

Without too much light in our backyard, it always seems like it is hard to see Max when he goes out in the evening. But that will not be the case any longer. This great little light clips to Max's harness and helps us follow him wherever he goes. Shine on, friends!

Max is Back!

Hi everydog! I'm back! I know it has been a while (a long while) but my mom is back at it and says that now that she can blog on her phone, she'll keep you up-to-date on all my happening.

California Crusin' with Max

Today Maxy took his first ride on a bicycle! At the onset, I wasn't sure if he would like the idea of being pedaled around in a basket. Max is the kind of guy who likes to be in control, call the shots, that sorta thing. But much to my delight, Maxy immediately took to his basket!


Tucked in his blanket, he happily perched to watch the world as it passed by; his ears sticking straight in the air, perceptive to his surroundings, Max loved to see (and be taller than) the doggies we passed.


After we arrived home from our ride, Max was a little reluctant to get out of the basket. He really seemed to take a shining to whole bicycle riding experience. Tomorrow morning, we hit the road for some more cruisin =)

Max for Bbeauty Designs

Max recently had a photo shoot with Bbeauty Designs, a designer located in Morgan Hill, California. Bbeauty Designs specializes in handcrafted, made-to-order pet clothes, hats, bandannas and beds.


The shoot took place at the design studio and was a lot of fun. They had plenty of treats for Max, so he was super attentive, though not use to the heat of all the studio lights.

In Max's shoot, he wore a plaid jacket with a fur collar, a fancy black sweater, a reversible bandanna, an eight panel cap, and a scarf.


We were surprised we could get Max to wear this hat. He doesn't so happy in this photo, but he wore it nonetheless... at least for a few seconds ;)

Max was such a trooper and was great during the shoot, but was definitely ready to get home and take a nap!

Max is Back!

Max is back to his chipper little self... and back to work! Here are a couple photos of Max at work.

Back to business

Work? I'm on top of it. Seriously.

Thanks for your concern and kind comments. It's no fun having your lil guy under the weather. Maxy is back and ready to enjoy the sunny weather!

Another trip to Banfield

On Monday morning, I noticed that little Maxy was not feeling so well. He appeared to have an upset tummy. He seemed to get better throughout the day, but was sick throughout the night. On Tuesday morning, I look him to see Dr. Rao at Banfield Pet Hospital. Hoping it was not another case of pancreatitis, I had to leave him for blood work and monitoring.

Get me outta here!

After a series of tests, the doctors could not determine what was wrong. They put him on an IV for the day to help him regain his fluids.

Bandaged up from the IV

When I picked him up he seemed to have more energy, but still seemed a little sicky... so I got him a new bed to make him more comfortable :)

Tucked in and relaxing on the drive home

As strange as it sounds, Dr. Rao prescribed 2.5 mg of Pepcid AC for stomach acid, and Pedialyte to help restore his electrolytes. She also put Max back on the percription food.


Much to my surprise, Max enjoyed the orange-flavored Pedialyte and even ate his new food. He seems to be feeling a lot better, but still is not 100% back to normal.


Hopefully he'll be back to chasing squirrels again soon!
