11/Aug/23 I've crossed the rainbow bridge

 


Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from the other side of the rainbow bridge.

This is my last post on this blog.

Please don't be sad.

I'm running with a bunch of other dogs.

I really like the little ones.

They are more friendly than the bigger dogs.

Here is a real story.

A little boy was with his parents as they had to put their dog down.  Everyone was sad.  This little boy was OK, with the passing of his pet.

Someone in the room had asked, why do dogs have such a short life.

The little boy said he knew why:

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?”

“Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.”

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy..
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you’re happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you’re not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

I was able to go for a walk last night.

I was able to lay in the hole I dug to be able to feel the cool earth on my belly.

I was able to go for a ride in the car.


Gentle reader.

I want to thank you for following me for the last seven years.

Good bye.

10/Aug/23 outside for a pee


 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This is how small I look from the room where the Big Guy works from.

You can also see the trees are growing big this year.

The Big Guy will be knocking them down this Fall.

He has several tools to do that.

He has his hedge trimmer.

But he is beyond that.

He got the branch cutter.

He also has this device with a long pole on it.

That cuts stuff with a saw.

He also has a reciprocating saw.

Finally, he has a chain saw.

But, he also isn't 8 feel tall.

There is a 6 foot chain link fence he has to deal with.

He got a little trailer that he has for his lawn mower.

He can stand in that so that he can reach.

Then, start at one end and go slowly and cut the branches.

Bet he will be tired when he is done THAT job.

If I was a puppy, I would have chewed on a few branches.

But this is a forrest.

9/Aug/23 going to lay on the floor


 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Tonya heard from the furniture store.

Her new end tables and coffee table have arrived and will be out for delivery.

Now, if it were up to the Big Guy, he would ask if they could go pick them up directly.

But she also must of paid for the delivery already.

It's getting cooler in the evenings.

Like Summer came, it was hot, and is leaving now.

They will be taking the Air Conditioner out of the bedroom window.

I'm sure they could put one of those window fans in it's place and the room would be cool when they woke up.

That would mean, no longer having to climb those stairs to go to the "cool room".

That is the only pain in the ass.

Yes, I want to be cool.

But at what price?

It's those stairs.

Why didn't they get a 1 level house?

Or an apartment?

Then again, some apartments have 2 or 3 floors.

Although I think they are called condos.

Humans and their houses.

Oh well, this house is pretty nice, so I best stop bitchin.

8/Aug/23 looking left and right


 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This past Summer, it's been hot for me.

I like spending the day upstairs in the cold room.

I've got some sort of eye infection, and they have been putting drops in my eyes.

Of course, I close my eyes so that they can't put the drops in my eyes.

But the force my eyes open.

Yesterday, the Big Guy put up the baby gate for the front deck and took off my collar.

Then, he went and got the garden hose.

My fur under my chin is full of slobbers and is no longer all white.

They decided to fix that.

I wasn't happy about that.

I tried to hide in the corner of the deck.

Didn't help.

The garden hose can reach all the way around to the other side of the house.

I really had no where to hide.

But they only sprayed under my chin and across my chest and of course, my front paws as i was standing in the water.

When I shook, there was no water to shake off.

I wasn't very pleased with them.

I'm all dry now.

Still don't like the garden hose.
