Most of you already know our friend, Max of South Africa. Max has taken many of us dog bloggers on educational tours of his beautiful country. Knowing Max is ailing, we have invited him to share some of The Herd’s adventures today.

Wings of Doom

A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

Wow! You guys are pretty special to show Max such a fabulous time and share your corner of the world with him. I am sure he was most honored and touched to be made an honorary member of the Herd!
We hope you had a very special Valentine’s Day filled with love, treats, and special surprises.
What a sweet valentine for Max!
Wow, that Max is one well traveled dude! 🙂 Happy Love Day!

How fun! I can’t believe Cheoah got caught in the baby gates again, but maybe having Max around just made her silly.

That is just great that MaxDog got to visit the Thundering Herd. My mom’s not that computer saavy so we don’t know how to get Max to visit us but that’s a very sweet thing that everyone is doing for Maxdog.
