8/Jun/17 chilling with Tonya watching TV

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

The sun was sure shining yesterday.  But the temperature sure didn't match.  It's still kinda cold out for this time of year.  It's normally in the high teens.  But yesterday, we were lucky if it was +10.

The Big Guy has never complained about the heat.  Ever.  If you hear him commenting, it may be, something like, it's a bit warm out today, but that's it.  He doesn't like being cold at all.

We went for a walk and it was a long/medium walk.  I think about 10 blocks.  We came home and they had some cauliflower/bacon/cheese/salsa thing.  I didn't get any.  None.  Zip.  Nada.  So I went to my kibble bowl and let a lot of the kibbles fall on the floor.

We went and sat outside.  

Tonya is trying to grow these flowers.  Well, I looked at the shoots that are coming up, and I nipped the top right off.  She FREAKED!  I mean there is upset and then there is what she was.  She has been trying to grow these flowers for about 10 years.  Each year, the Big Guy has to watch out not to mow them over.  This year, he didn't even get close to them.  It was all me.  She is not one happy camper.  She calls them her "peenies".  I call them, "in the way".

The Big Guy's friend at work, Shaun, well his wife is going to have a baby human today.  I thought they were happy with their furry son, Kylo.  He doesn't come to visit too much.  I hope that Kylo behaves around their new human.  Shaun said that they are going to name his son, Oliver.

So far, the weather is nice outside.  But I understand, this is going to change and it's going to rain.  But today, sun shine.  We will see if it gets as hot outside as it is forecasted.

Bye bye for now.

7/Jun/17 my coat is really shiny

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

Yesterday we went for a longer walk than the day prior.  The Big Guy has really been teaching me about not pulling on the leash.  Boy it's annoying.  Every time I get excited and run, BOING!  I get snapped back.  But that's because he gets braced when he sees that I am running, or going to run towards a post.

I tried to run ahead about 12 times, but each time, my harness would get tight and I would get turned around.  If I walked at a moderate pace, I got the post 100% of the time.

The Big Guy is still trying to run his campaign to get funds for his replacement BBQ.  Only this time, he has upped the ante.  If you donate $5.00 towards his BBQ, he will put you into a draw for a BBQ'ed Prime Rib Steak for 2.  Did you want to get in on that action?  Click here to see his Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/replacement-bbq

Did you see the video of me having my Gala Apple?

That is really nice of Tonya to hand feed me.

Otherwise, it was a slow day for me.

Bye bye for now.

6/Jun/17 I got 4x4 paw drive

I normally keep it is 4x4 low paw gear 

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

We went for a "medium" walk yesterday.  Not sure how you measure the city block.  Do you have to walk all the way around the block, so just from one intersection to the next and you say that you have just walked a block.  If that is true, then last night, we walked 10 blocks last night.

I only unbalanced the Big Guy about 4 times.  Tonya tried to hold him up when he looked like I was going to pull him over and he would fall down.  It's when I dash away to get to a pole.  That can surprise the Big Guy.  That will also get me a tug on my leash.  He wasn't happy about that.

There was a lot of people outside mowing their grass.  The smells was incredible.

The Big Guy has to put the cage and the canvas cover on the back seat again.  This will allow me to go for a drive with them.  I can go for a drive in the morning to take Tonya to work.  I don't get to stick my head out the sun roof.  I am so big, I get in the way when I do that.  But when I do get to do that, people will smile and wave at me.

We went to sit outside last night, but it was only +4.  The Big Guy got cold and wanted to come inside again.  Tonya call him a cat.  She said that he was a pussy.  Not sure why she would think he is a small kitten.

The Big Guy is looking for support for his BBQ.  He is asking, click on this link and then click to share it on Facebook.  Could you do that for him?  Here is the link:  https://www.gofundme.com/replacement-bbq

He can be such a pest.

Did you see my May picture video?

Am I not handsome?  Yup, quite adorable if I do say so myself...

Bye bye for now.

5/Jun/17 the BBQ, it's dead Jim

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

This is me laying next to the damaged BBQ. (Insert the Funeral Dirge music here)  Funeral Dirge Music

There has been a second donation.  I sure hope that the Big Guy can get his new BBQ.  Tonya says that she only wants to get a propane BBQ.  The Big Guy wants a charcoal BBQ.  If the Big Guy gets his donations, he is going to get his charcoal BBQ.

If he can get this BBQ off the deck, he could always use it for rotisserie.  I wonder if he will store it in the garage if he can get it off the deck.

We went for a short walk in the rain yesterday.  Tonya was telling the big guy, they should bring me for a walk, this will tire me out.  When he was all dressed and read to go, he opened the door and looked at Tonya.  He said, we will have to change jackets.  It wasn't raining hard, but it was raining.

So off we went.

As we were coming around one block, Tonya seen that there was another dog, but this guy was out walking by himself.  We went down another block so that I couldn't play with him.  Tonya was worried, since the other dog wasn't on his leash, would he be "dangerous" to me.

Other good news.  A few weeks ago, the Big Guy replaced the shower cartridge and the show handle.  (He cut the handle off with a hack saw).  Delta sent him FREE replacements for both items.  He is super happy about that.  Some time this week, he has to take a drive out to Reserve Mines and drop the two items off to the shop that gave him them to start with.

Bye bye for now.
