Things I think about in the middle of the night when I can't sleep....wow, when I first started this blog about Max I wondered if anyone at all would even read about a dog? Sure, I know lots of pet lovers, but I am a little "touched" to have a darn BLOG about Max? Wouldn't people just think "that lady is nuts"...isn't that carrying loving your dog too far?! Then I started to search for other dog blogs and was AMAZED...yea, I'm not the only nutcase out there that loves my dog big time!!!...bonus round...these other people don't seem at all crazy either!!! Then the more I blogged and met people the more pet blogs I found with a huge variety of styles, pups and lives and it really hit me how wonderful it all is and how great technology is to put us all together! I have gotten to where I almost never watch the news or read the paper because it's all so full of depressing stuff and I want to start my day in a "happy place"! Ok, that said....ha...what IS the craziest, most ridiculous thing you have done or do with or for your pup? Let me maybe re-phrase that...to a non-pet lover looking at you...what would THEY think is the most crazy :) :)
Some of mine just off the top of my head:
1. Buying a custom made hat and tie outfit for Max's 1st adoption birthday (but he looked soooo cute in it!!!)
2. I sing to Max before he goes to sleep under the covers with me (poor Max...I am darn near tone deaf!)
3. He gets HIS nails done more than ME! I'll let my nails look a little raggedy but not his!
4. His outfits started out just to strictly keep him warm because he shivers so easily, now I get more cuz he's so darn cute in them too! But I still won't put him in anything uncomfortable unless it's click, click for a photo then immediately off, but not at all if it seems to scare him, I'll just give it away in that case and forget the pix.
5. Started blogging about Max :)
6. Search the Internet for places MAX would like to go on vacation
7. I stand in the rain with Max rather than just shove him in the backyard by himself when it's raining and potty time
I'm sure I do way more silly things but that's just a partial list :) What are your lists???

Well my peep is crazy and that's why I love her.
ReplyDeleteShe always: Considers where to go on vacation on how it will be for me.
She is in the process of making a product so it will easier for me to travel.
She cooks for me and gets the very best food possible...I eat better than she does!
Great post!
Maggie
Aw, what an awesome Mom you are!can I ask about what you are making to make traveling easier or is this something you are getting ready to market so it's still a secret? Would love to know!! :) Max may not eat better than me but dresses better...I hate cooking with a passion...thank goodness for Pet treats though!!
DeleteIt is great having your own blog isn't it Max, you really feel you have arrived, BOL!
ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
Ha...trust me...Max feels like he has arrived and let's EVERYONE know....I'm here for all to adore and fawn over everywhere we go! :)
Delete@DipBridge and Elliot - BOL I LOVE it!
DeleteI don't think you are so crazy...just a good parent to Max. I used to think the clothes were silly. But, Kelsey gets excited to wear them.
ReplyDeleteHa me too...thought "dressing" your dog was ridiculous until I got Max...he just shivers with chill if the air condition is on so it's more of a must thing with him so why not look cute at the same time!?! Ha, Max gives me his head to put on clothes so guess he and Kelsey both like them!
DeleteMuahaha! I love your list, but like Kelsey and Melissa said, I wouldn't call them crazy! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHm, Domeek spends way more money each month on me, rather than herself! She takes me everywhere with her, even in stores. Domeek maps out where we go and where we eat to make sure that I can go everywhere with her!! She also hand feeds me when I'm disinterested in food (which is pretty much 99% of the time)!
I feel sooo much better...ha...I map out places too :) Now I can't say I've hand fed Max but I surely would if he wouldn't eat!:)
DeleteI don't think you are too silly. We bought a trailer to haul our dogs around in. You can't use it for anything else. It is just for dogs. lol
ReplyDeleteHa, love it! Happy to know I am not alone in this pup love!!
DeleteI love your list and I think it's very sweet that you sing to Max. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably to a non-pet person, the craziest thing we've done is the amount of $ we spent trying to fight our last pup's cancer. I'm sure a lot of people would say "You spent that on a DOG?" But she was an amazing dog and she lived LARGE for 15 months with her cancer. She was awesome and we still miss her so much. (I am working on a novel that has a fictionalized version of her in it. I guess that sounds kinda "crazy" too!) :)
Jackie, not crazy to me at all! I spent my rent money back in the day on a cat that was missing and finally returned home but very sick,thought the hubby I had at the time was going to kill me...he just asked if she was going to be ok now :) Oh and I love that book idea by the way!
DeleteHey guys...Jackie (above) is the author of a book titled WHAT THE DOG ATE, you can find her at poochsmooches.blogspot.com, I'm really enjoying it so far! Go check it out!I have it on my cell and kindle now :)She also has on CONTEST going on RIGHT NOW! I entered of course :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the ranks of crazy dog lady, my friend :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, crazy things I do for Beamer... I bake for him, a lot. I also let him have most of the bed. If he shows any sign of illness, it's off to the vet we go. I can't remember the last time I went to the doctors! I spend way more on my dog than I do on myself. I've eyed cute dresses and stopped myself from buying it. If Beamer takes a liking to a toy we see, I buy it right away. I also take him to every get together we're invited to (but people don't mind, they generally love Beamer).
I've been loving this whole dog bloggin' thing, too. But I think I'll switch it up a bit once I'm done school. DK and I are going on a North American road trip in August, so I'll definitely document our adventures or misadventures, rather. We might be going to Texas! :D
Kat-I really have to say that I am glad I did this post because I love hearing that there are so many other people just as crazy as me! Yes, I'll go without my prescriptions a few days but Max will not be late for an appt. or pill ever...have alarms on even my work email to be sure he takes his heartworm prevention pills just in case my other 2 alarms at home fail! Max goes with me too everywhere except work.
DeleteWell if you come to Texas anywhere near Houston, you better let me know!!! But you have to give me a few days head-up up cuz you know I take care of my Dad after work, etc. but I'd LOVE to meet you!!!
Hi Max's Mom,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Max doesn't think you're crazy, just the best Mom!! :)
Isn't it cool to find like minded people on the internet :)
My Mum and Dad took me car shopping with them when I was a pup to make sure the car was good for me, and I still love it! :)
Wags to all,
Your pal Snoopy :)
Snoopy-
ReplyDeleteOMD! That is the absolute BEST ever!!!! What an equally great way to see if you want to buy your car from that dealership and salesperson!!! If they don't like the pup, no dice!! I LOVE it! I am totally bringing Max with me next time!!! What a fabulous idea!!!
