Our dear fur-iend Max, from South Africa, is on a Cyber-World Tour, visiting all his doggie blogging friends who love him.
We were tickled pink that Max was able to spend time with us in North Georgia. Upon his arrival, Max was smothered in kisses and good old-fashioned, southern hospitality. While Momma prepared lunch, we went outside to sniff the fresh mountain air,bark at squirrels, and chase balls. We lazed in the southern sunshine while Max shared amazing stories about South Africa.
We had worked up quite an appetite when Momma rang the lunch bell and
hollered from the back porch, "Y'all come!"
Momma served a traditional southern lunch, that would have made Paula Deen proud. We enjoyed shrimp and grits, cornbread, pickled okra, and sweet iced tea with a sprig of fresh mint. For dessert, we had individual Georgia pecan pies. My, my, how Momma blushed when Max asked for second helpings!
Following lunch, we all curled up by the fire, sharing secrets and Nylabones. We were disappointed when Momma announced it was time for Max to leave us and continue his tour.
As Max rode away, Momma noticed that the last bud on the Christmas Cactus was blooming. A perfect ending to a perfect day.
We will forever cherish our special time with Max and hope he enjoyed our southern comfort!

Hey there Kit and all the charming doggies!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
We have been utterly overwhelmed in this amazing global love! Mom has been smiling widely all day...laughing too...and shedding tears sometimes.
Thank you for your amazing hospitality. You lunch was super-duper! I was about to ask for 'thirds', but thought maybe that would be greedy...afterall I had so many doggie-friends around who were also enjoying the spoils.
Thank you for this incredibly special VALENTINE'S DAY. (A true "family" day, not so?!)
You guys are such special friends. I will cherish all these memories forever!

Max is like Visa - he's been taken everywhere you want to be! :)
Max has been quite the world traveler! I'm sure he enjoyed your southern hospitality! How could he not? Pecan pie? Never had it but it sure sounds delish. Guess I will have to visit the south sometime too ;o)
Happy Valentine's Day to you three and your humans!
Snuggles,
Twix
Very Cool.....Sounds like a good time was had by all....but ummmm...you got any leftover's to share???? LOL
Max looks pawfectly at home there with the three of you - and your Mom is fantastic, what a great meal she prepared for all of you. We bet Max was so thrilled with all the love surrounding him. Mom loves the litle tidbit about the Christmas cactus flower - a plant very special to her because of the memories it brings of her grandmother.
Thanks for sharing the love with Max.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Woos, Phantom and Thunder
hey Zack, Buddy, and Sassy,
What perfect hosts you doggies make! And your mom! Her cooking sounds so good I would have asked for fifths!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful visit with Maxdog. He is a lucky dog to have such amazing friends as all of you.
I am so happy to read that Maxdog is getting out and able to visit all of his loving friends. I am sure it brings much peace and comfort to his heart.
Have a sweet Valentine's Day!

Hey Kit and the gang,
We had a very loving day!! I hope you did too!!!
A great post on Max's visit!!!
I, like Ina, don't know how to get Max to Reedville. I only went to see him one time and he never came over to see us, so we really didn't know Max. He was a beauitful dog!! He is gone now, right?
Love you all lots, Bambi & Fern

Nala
Life is not complete with out a good southern meal! You pups were great hosts!
