Missing Maxie ~ Our Mutt On The Run...


If you follow me on Twitter or are a friend of mine on Facebook, you already know the sad news. Our Maximus Gladiator (Mastiff/Lab goofball) got out last Wednesday evening and we haven't seen hide nor hair of him since. Apparently he didn't get the memo that he's 12 not 2.

We've got ads in the paper (another BIG "THANK YOU!!" to Jen!), contacted the humane society, etc etc. He has been my darling boy since he was 6 months old and we're all just sick that he's not home yet.

Come home, Maxie!!!

One Of My Claims To Fame... Totally O.T.

This is totally Off Topic but I don't care.. it's my blog and I'll brag if I want to
Brag if I want to..
Brag if I want to..

As many of you know, we have a herd of canines, one of which is darling Maxwell (aka- Maxie, Maximus, SillyHead, etc). Almost 11 years ago I went into the satellite Denver Dumb Friends League shelter to "visit" the dogs. I made a solemn promise NOT to get attached. I already had 2 other big dogs (a Husky and Shepard mutt mix). Three would be a crowd, right? RIGHT?!

I walked in and the first thing I saw was a HUGE head with the softest eyes attached to a skeleton body. Oh no. I had them bring him out to the waiting area so I could get a better look. Walking looked painful as he was all bones. He was only 6 months old but he meandered over like a senior dog. He slowly came to where I sat and put his big, doofy head in my lap.

Done. The mastiff lab/goofball mix came home forever.

Now for my brag..


I submitted the above picture to (the worlds greatest dog lover's magazine ever) Bark Magazine's smiling dogs section about a year ago. They contacted me this past January to let me know he was being considered for their book "DogJoy" due out in October. SHUT UP! They were whittling down 500 out of 15,000.

I got word today he's IN! WOOHOO!!

Congratulations to our Gentle Giant that makes great first impressions (yes, he peed on Bren the first time they met. In his defense, she's the only one he has ever done that to).

We love you, big boy!!
