| Don't go, mum. But if you must, can I have a back-scratch, please? |
The past two weeks, Max was in the limelight. Joe got a bit jealous and so we are posting a photo of him this week.
Joe’s bed is too small for him now but he still likes to use it. And he is never away or never without his tennis ball beside him. Oh my, he has grown a lot right before my eyes. He will be two years old in August. He is no longer a puppy that I can carry around in my arms. He doesn’t like it anymore :(
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.

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!
In 2006, I was assigned to the coastal town of Kep and the whole family relocated. We stayed in a guesthouse on a hill with a sweeping view of the Bokor mountain and the Gulf of Thailand. Almost every day, after lunchtime, we all retreated to our hammocks on the mini-patio. The breath-taking view and the refreshing sea breeze lulled us to sleep, Max included.
Welcome to the first week of Furry Friday Fun and my Wordless Wednesday entry too! For the first entry, here's a photo of Max when she was around 6months old.
One day after her morning walk, she spotted this white flower lying on the footpath. She ran to where it was and curiously sniffed and sniffed the flower and turned to my husband and I who were following her closely. I suddenly thought she liked the flower so I picked it up and pinned it to her leash. I think she loved it, she even posed for the camera.
Don't you think she's lovely?

My husband and I love to babble about our pet Keeshond, Max. We have stories of her in our other blogs accompanied by her photos. We, my husband and I, both decided that along with the creation of her own blog, we also created a photo meme dedicated to all animals out there - furry or no furry, with or without tails. We call it Furry Friday and it starts today.
The rules: There aren't really any rules to go by, except that:
- you post a photo of your choice of animal (they can be your pet/s) every Friday
- it can be any kind of photo - fun, crazy, etc., but please, no photos depicting violence, abuse or pornography
- the photos must be taken by you or any member of your family
- you may also include a story to accompany your photo
- leave a comment here so others can visit you
- and lastly, you may grab the Furry Friday logo and display it in your blog to link back to this site
That's all we ask, folks. The idea behind this photo meme is to show off our furry friends and have fun! So come join us here.
