21/Jul/20 thunder can be somewhat frightening to me

Good morning world.

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

Did you ever wonder how many pictures the Big Guy will take before he selects one for the blog each day?

You can see last night, things were not going his way and I wasn't standing still.

Then, there was the thunder storm that rolled through last evening.

The flash didn't bother me.  It was the loud rumble after the fact.  That got my attention each and every time.

Then, of course, Tonya felt that I had to go pee.

Honestly, I did have to go, but I was willing to hold it.

She got a beach umbrella and went out with me.  The lightning would flash.  Didn't bother me at all.

But them, the rumble of the thunder.  

I did not approve.

I thought I heard the Big Guy is going to be making some bacon this morning.

Fat lot of good it does me.  I can't have any...  Well, I could...  but then I get the trots and it gets all over my fur.  Yuck.

20/Jul/20 I will stay outside, in the rain, next to the hot dog maker

Good morning world.

Yesterday Tonya and her sister went to the beach.  Tonya only put on sun screen after she was feeling warm.  Well, someone got sun burnt.

Now, she says it isn't all that bad.

But she went to bed and slept above the covers last night.

She will not admit that she is hurting, but she's hurting.

Now, her sister, she stays out twice as long as what Tonya did.

She called Tonya last night to say, she was really sun burnt.

The Big Guy, he was at work.  

He would have also not gone to the beach as that isn't his "thing".  He says that the water is where Big Fish live.  He is NOT on their menu.

Or he would have gone to the beach, but he would have brought a sun umbrella with him.  He would also have brought something to "drink" and would have sat in the back of the car for the trip home from the beach.

The Big Guy also likes to say stuff, like this isn't his first rodeo.

Yea, like I've ever heard him say THAT.

19/Jul/20 I got peanut butter on my paw

Good morning world.

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

The Vet said that I can have a nice treat once a week.

What is considered a nice treat?

Well, you can see the Kong in the picture.  The Big Guy put some peanut butter in the Kong along with two cookie treats.  But there was too much peanut butter.  How did the Big Guy solve this dilemma without putting the peanut butter back in the jar?

He took the excess peanut butter and rubbed it across the top of my paw.

Well, I had to lick that right off.

Here is an action shot.  

I will say, it's not one of my better pictures.  But you can definitely see the peanut butter on my paw.  Click on the picture and you can see why isn't not such a good picture of me.

Tonya made Meat Loaf for the Big Guy's supper yesterday.  Along with mashed potatoes and veggies.  Now, in the past.  I would have just stared and stared at Tonya until she gave me some.  For some reason, that didn't work yesterday.  She wasn't going for it at all.

The Vet must have really told Tonya about NOT feeding me people food.

18/Jul/20 I will maintain my post, camp-in-the-way

Good morning world.

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

So the Big Guy got a new routine now.  He wakes up the same time as he normally would.  But vice coming right down stairs and putting the coffee on...

Now, he does his morning relief and then has a shower.  (Before, he would wait till he had to get ready for work, before he would have his morning shower)  Once he is out of the shower, he puts on his compression socks.  These will stay on for the day.

Yesterday, he was saying that he needs a pair of sandals.

This will allow him to wear socks with his sandals and shorts.  

This is very much a fashion DON'T.

He figures that he is rather funny.

Oh the looks he will get when he is out in public.

I do believe that Tonya will MAKE him wear long pants when he is out in public.  But while he is around the yard, he can pretty much wear what ever he wants.

I can see the wheels turning as he is thinking about this.

Wringing his hands.

Smiling to himself.

He's a frickin weirdo.
