Mr friends Kathy and Wade wanted to know what happened to Max since I had the quad bypass, and I'm now leaving the country for four months.
Max, my 80 lb Bernese Mountain Dog, was so big and ready to play, that I couldn't handle him after my surgery. Before going to the hospital, I had checked him in with my groomer in Green Valley, who takes him home with her. When I found that I was going to be in for six days instead of one, I called her, and she extended his stay until I got out.
I had rescued Max from a rescue league about a year ago. One of the conditions is that if you can't keep him for any reason, you have to return him to them. So I called them, and they were very nice about it. My friend Jack picked him up from the groomer, and took him straight to the rescue league, so I didn't even see him after dropping him off at the groomer.
I checked later, and Maureen at the Rescue League said that they had placed him almost immediately with a new home, and that he now has a doggy friend, and an acre of running room.
So, at least, I don't have to worry about Max, nor feel guilty about abandoning him.

Hey, John!
Your blog looks good. I give you credit for getting it going. I have been rather lazy lately, as I need to update mine with more pictures of Maggie among other things.
Glad to know you'll try to keep the blog going while you're traveling.
