Furry Friday #0010: I've lost my top set...

... and I can't smile without it!

Max, at 4months old

We were away for a long time doing things and we sort of negleted Max's site. Now that we're back, I'd like to continue posting items about dogs. I was searching the net today for some cool dog stuffs when I stumbled upon this piece of news from my regular source of weird dog news and it's about dog face-lift. Apparently, a Brazilian pet plastic surgeon recommends a face-lift for a dog or even a mammary lift for sagging dugs after having babies. Now, is that weird or what?

A face-lift for a dog? Brazilian vet does it all
'Good symmetry is very important'

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Is Fido in need of a face-lift?

Go see Edgado Brito, who is advancing the practice of pet plastic surgery in a land with a worldwide reputation for making people beautiful by any means.

Brazilians have long been known for their penchant for cosmetic surgery, and Brito has been adapting those techniques for use on animals.

"Plastic surgery is good for dogs!" said Brito, 45, a Doberman breeder who has worked as a veterinarian for 20 years.

He can make protruding ears droop and uses Metacril to straighten bent ears. He uses Botox to fix inverted eyelashes. He has even tightened the mammillae of a couple of female dogs, whose owners wanted to show them after they had given birth.

Furry Friday 008: S-l-u-u-u-u-r-p!

We're back for the Furry Friday fun this week!!

Furry Friday #007: Queen Max

I'd like to think Max makes attempts to talk to me through a lot of ways - grunting, sneezing, winking, or tapping my knees. It amuses me so much that I sometimes find myself talking to her in return. I hope my neighbors won't see this as a sign that I am slowly losing my sanity *lol*.

Max is just over two years old and so full of life. She takes her morning and evening walks regularly with Rob and I taking turns to walk her. She rarely goes out of the house to play with other dogs so she's a bit unsettled whenever there are other dogs around. But whenever she's out, she does socialize. But there are other dogs around that are nasty and gang up on her and that's when Rob picks her up and carries her around - and how she loves it! With her nose up in the air, she acts as if she's the queen.

And, she hates the paparazzi!
