Max becomes Dodger

Here's a picture of Max (now named Dodger, on the right) and his new sister, Lola. Dodger knows that his job is to keep Lola happy - a task accomplished by playing with Lola until they can't play anymore! Dodger also knows that Lola retains all rights to the toys on the floor. But that's probably fine with Dodger as long as he has a lap to cuddle on!

Exciting News - Max finds a home!

Max is home at last with a mom and dad who work from home and two sisters - a human and a canine! Hopefully, we'll be able to share a picture of Max in his new home soon.

We miss him but are happy to see him go to his forever home!

Max - the tired rescuer!

Such a busy Saturday! First, a home visit, and next, transporting 2 cats to safety. The life of a rescuer is never dull and Max couldn't wait until home before he started his nap!

A little snow for a silly boy...

A momentary stop after zooming around in the snow!

Wake up, sleepy head!

I know it's cold but it's time to start earning your keep!! If foster mom has to get up, so does Max!

Is that all there is?

I know, I feel the same way - so many channels, so little to watch!

The after dinner stare...

You know the one... the "are we having another course?" look...

Nosy Neighbors

Max and his foster sisters are on the neighborhood safety alert team. Nothing gets by these guys!

You may wonder...

...why all foster mom has are pictures of Max curled up on her bed. The truth is that it's his favorite time of day - at night, when everyone is cuddled together and hanging out. Note to self - must get pictures of this cute fellow outside in the yard in the daylight!

The Dance

When Foster Mom leaves for work in the morning, Max gets super-excited and starts to squeal - he thinks it's walk time!!! He likes to dance around and yip! Foster Mom gets the same song and dance when she gets home. It's always nice to have a little welcome committee.

Upon arriving home in the evening, Foster Mom gives everyone a little "hello" and Max goes out in the yard for a quick bathroom break with the girls and immediately wants to come in. He seems to think that Foster Mom can't handle being unsupervised for too long. He may be right :-)

Meeting his Public

Max is starting to feel better after his neuter. This was a busy weekend for the big boy - he went to two adoption events and met Frosty the Snowman. Here he is with his foster sister and his new friend, Sidney.

(I know, Max is in the background...bad foster mom for not putting him up front!)

It's cold! Do we have to get out of bed???

Uh oh! Max and his foster sister are starting to think like Foster Mom!

On a cold morning, there's only one place to be and that's in a cozy bed with flannel sheets!

Working Boy

Yesterday, Max went to work with his foster sister (who has finally caught up on her sleep since she's spent extra time showing him all the ropes) and foster mom. Foster mom works in a place where there are lots of goodies for doggies and Max walked around the store "lifting" things (like bones and treats!). A few people tried to tempt him with treats to entice him to come closer to them but Max likes to take his time and approach people on his own. People who come on too strong make him a bit nervous!

All in all, he had a good day and somehow scored a nice smelly knuckle bone... foster mom thought he deserved it since he had been such a good boy!

Max: A Changed Man

Max-A-Million, as his foster mom calls him, reports that Thanksgiving was pretty good for him. He had a little bit of mashed potatoes and lots of cuddles.

Foster mom didn't tell Max ahead of time that Friday was a big day for him. He and his two other adoptable friends, Bugsy and Taco, were all getting neutered. As cute as they all are, there's no need to have little mini-Max pups roaming the planet!

Anyway, Max-A-Million is recovering but is in some pain (or maybe likes to talk about his pain more than others!). Foster mom isn't subjecting him to the camera for a few days while he recovers.

Poor boy needs his privacy!

Max gets bolder!

Well, our little Max has some vocal chords and he likes to use them when his foster mom leaves the house! I guess apartments are out for this little man!

In other news, he is opening up and is getting more playful - he's a little imp! This morning, when his foster mom woke up, he came right up for a little cuddle...too cute!
