31/Jan/21 gotta get a few naps in today

 

Good morning world.

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

The weather network is forecasting some snow for Tuesday.  It will either be a snow event, or rain event.  Of course we already know which side of the fence the Big Guy is on.

The only people that will be effected if it turns out to be a snow event, doesn't live in this house.

But they certainly do make it effect Tonya.  They use her like their own personal taxi service.

I can't go for drives any more as there are 2 car seats in the middle of the car.

I watch Tonya and the Big Guy leave the house.  I go to the door.  I want to go for a drive as well.  But I'm told to go "lay down".  I have a sad when they do that to me.

Tonya took this ham out of the freezer yesterday.

This means, none for me.  Ham doesn't agree with me.

But doesn't it smell so lovely.

Is it worth the trots?

Could be.  But the Big Guy says no.

30/Jan/21 you may go around me as I'm napping here

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Tonya made a pork stir fry.

She even made a teriyaki sauce from scratch.

Plus noodles.

While she was serving up supper.  Her boob turned the burner on high.  But she didn't notice.

As they were eating supper and watching the news, the Big Guy said, he could smell something burning.

They don't have to worry about left overs.

What was left of the pork stir fry, has gone out to the birds.

Tonya said, she does not belong in the kitchen.

Tonya also made the lemon loafs.

BTW, they are very tasty.

But she had flour and batter all over the place.  She can bake, but at a cost.  That's for sure.

29/Jan/21 Boss Dog arrives at work and is not impressed

 

Good morning world.

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

Every so often, I will go upstairs to check on the Big Guy.

That's where he works now.  Upstairs.

When I get there, I want to rummage through the garbage.

He will grab at my collar and pull me away.

I want to go into the bathroom, perhaps to have some refreshing "eau de toilet".

The Big Guy has been leaving the toilet seat down.

OK, I will have some lovely toilet paper.  I've been known to eat an entire new roll.

What is this?  He moved it on top of the vanity.

Right.  I will go investigate the other bedrooms.

When I get to the rooms, the doors are closed shut.

WTF?

Denied!

Everywhere.

It's like he has been waiting for me.

I will have to see if he slips up tomorrow, or the next day.  I will have my way soon enough.

28/Jan/21 a fluffy pillow at the end of the couch would be nice

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Tonya was sure that the Big Guy has never made her Beef Barley soup.

Turns out, he did.  A long time ago.  He isn't sure if they still got some barley left in the cupboard.

When the Big Guy was in the Navy, they had soup every day at 10:00 am.  They called it "Stand Easy".

Over the years, the Big Guy has had a LOT of soup.  All different kinds.  Most of them, he liked.  Some, he didn't.  He preferred the cream soups.  Not the thin ones.

Myself, I don't get to have any soup.

My mouth isn't designed for soup.

Unless it's the hearty, gravy one.  Then I get to have some.  As long as there isn't onions in it.  Which is VERY rare.

But then, some times, Tonya just doesn't care if there is onions or not.

Then I get the trotts.

Trotts are not nice.

I just can't help myself.  I just LOVE human food.

27/Jan/21 yes, I did fart, let me waft it with my tail

Unlike humans, when I fart, it's VERY silent.

Then you smell it.

Last night, Tonya and the Big Guy had Fish & Chips again.  I got to have some of Tonya's fish.

She said no chips for me cause they were spicy fries.

Little did she know, when the Big Guy brought his plate to the kitchen, there was one of the fries on her plate and it was pretty much doused in ketchup.

The Big Guy gave it to me.

nom nom hom

It was so good.

Not all that spicy.

I will probably get more farts.

26/Jan/21 Why can't we go for a drive

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Tonya and the Big Guy went to Sydney, without me.

Cause the baby seats are in the middle of the car.

So that means, I can't go for drives.

Does this really upset the Big Guy?

He says no.

1st off, Tonya always insists that the windows be rolled down so that I can "breath".

Well I drool.

Down the sides of the Big Guy's car.  He is not impressed with this.

They also went to the SPCA to get me my dog license.

They didn't have any.  They will not be getting any till March.

The Big Guy thought this was dumb and that someone dropped the ball on this.

Good morning world.

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

From what I understand, they will be having Fish & Chips later on today.

I'm pretty sure I can have fish.

No one every said that I couldn't.

It's just those onions and some other stuff, that the Big Guy loves to make.

Now, I can bet, there is going to be left over batter from the fish.

What else can you batter and it starts with an "O" and I can't have?

That's right...

Onions Rings.

I can bet they are going to have a lot of onions rings with their supper tonight.

Life isn't fair.

Onions rings look marvelous.

Good morning world.

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

Last night, Tonya decided that they would have a treat and order in a pizza.

Of course, I just sat and stared at Tonya as she was eating hers.

ACTIVATE THE DROOL GLAND

There was a wet spot on the floor, just in front of the chair where Tonya sits to watch TV.

Now, they have enough pizza to have it for breakfast today.

I will have to ...

Can you guess ...

I think you can ...

ACTIVATE THE DROOL GLAND

Gotta get some of that breakfast pizza

23/Jan/21 I've left some poo in the backyard for you

 

Good morning world.

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

I had to wonder.

Why does human poo go down the toilet and my poo goes in a black garbage bag?

Why is it called a "Hair Cut"?

Aren't they all being cut?

Why is it called a "driveway"?

Don't you just park the car on it?

Yup, every so often, I get deep thoughts.

A few years back, when I went to the SPCA to get my dog tags for my licence, they had to assign a color.

They said I was black.

But I've also got white and brown on my fur.  How could they forget about that?

Yup, deep thoughts.

22/Jan/21 I'm not going to be a good assistance if I can't assist

 

Good morning world.

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

I really don't go into the "office" that is upstairs that often.

Now, last year, in March, when everyone was sent home.  That is when I was in the "office" a lot.

Now, I only go upstairs when the mood strikes me.

It's an effort to go upstairs.

Then I have to go downstairs again.  But if I were already downstairs, I would be there already.

Honestly, when I'm upstairs, it's not like they can put me outside.

They don't have a balcony on that floor.

Besides, when they are upstairs, they are kinda boring.  They are "at work".

They ignore me.

Sigh...

I guess I will hang out "downstairs" more.

Stupid covid.

21/Jan/21 I can listen better with this ear to the ground

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Tonya and the Big Guy got a 10 pound box of haddock.

Then they got out their vacuum sealer and separated the entire box.

They will be ready to make fish cakes.  Fish chowder.  Or the Big Guy's personal favorite, Deep Fried, Fish & Chips.

I tried to sniff the fish, but was shooed away.

Tonya was happiest with the new Styrofoam cooler that they got.

Tonya went to Giant Tiger and got the Big Guy some new shirts.  He really needed them.  The other ones, they shortened up in the washer.  So yea, they did shrink, but not the side to side part.  Only the top to bottom part.

He might be able to give them to Haas.  He isn't overly tall, so they might fit him.

Oh the Big Guy is hankering for a coffee.

He rather loves that stuff.  I have smelled it.  I don't know what the big deal is all about.

20/Jan/21 I've got my ear to the ground

 

Good morning world.

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

The Big Guy bought this electric mouse trap.  So far, it's caught about 14 mice.  It is designed for rats.  So when this trap goes off, the mice don't stand a chance.

But, it's been a long time since they have caught any mice.

Either the mice got smart.

Or they have executed all the mice they had.

They took down three buildings.  BIG buildings too.

There was the former school, the forum and the parish center.  All three of these buildings would have had mice, rats and other vermin living in them.

Of course, these critters would have all gone looking for other places to live.

This would be all the surrounding houses.  The local stores must have made a killing on traps and other stuff to kill the rodents.

The SPCA, they got rid of all the feral cats.  So those natural predator's would not have been around to take care of a lot of those rodents.

Myself, I'm not a "mouser".

Yea, that job is "beneath" me.

19/Jan/21 looking to see what Aurora has thrown to the floor

 

Good morning world.

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

Yesterday, Aurora came for a visit.

She was having some turkey supper.

I did get her left overs.  But I almost got her entire supper.  She swings her arms around, and it was pretty close for her to knock her plate to the floor.

But as I was laying on the floor, Aurora wanted to get by.

My tail was in the way.

I was so happy to feel her walking around my tail.

So, she knew that stepping on my tail would be bad.

Then again, getting up and knocking her over, I understand that it bad too.

I'm waiting for the day that she jumps on me and tries to hug me.

I will have to be an extra good boy that day.

Hmmm...  I wonder if I would get a steak for allowing that to happen?
