Max’s ‘Mom’ realised that she didn’t have many nice photos of her and Max together and is capturing those precious moments now – but she reminded us all to “seize the moment” and get more ‘ Together Pictures ‘ with our humans. I am very lucky because I have a maniac camera human who has to take a million pictures of every small thing every day – so I have quite a few pictures with my humans already!

So this post is dedicated to Max - here are some ‘Together’ pictures of me and my special human, Hsin-Yi:

.

The first time we met…

(4 weeks - look, my brothers are trying to climb into Hsin-Yi’s lap too! I was the first of all the puppies in my litter to get my very own human and I think they were all jealous!)

.

The last time Hsin-Yi could pick me up…

(9 weeks – 10kg/22lbs)

.

Graduating from puppy class!

(16 weeks)

.

Helping in the garden…

(4 months)

.

On Hsin-Yi’s 30th birthday…

(5 months – Hsin-Yi waited 30yrs for her dream of having a dog!)

.

All grown up now!

(14 months)

.

Sharing a hug…

.

Having a nap together…

.

Winning our 1st ‘doggie dancing’ trophy…

.

Enjoying a girlie moment together…

.

Exploring the ‘City of Sails’ …

.

…or just ‘hanging out’…

.

Maybe a spot of modelling…

.

…and a TV appearance or two…

.

…but quiet cuddles at home too!

.

Being a lap dog…

.

Posing for Christmas photos…

.

Doing the ’beach babe’ thing…

.

And sharing a joke!

.

But most of all, those special, quiet moments together…

.

And here is Hsin-Yi’s favourite photo of us together:

I hope you will join us  and post some ‘Together Pictures’ of you and your human – in honour of Max…and if you haven’t got many, as Max’s ’Mom’ said – seize the moment and get some more now!  

* For all those whose humans say that there is no-one to take the photos - Hsin-Yi says “Use the self-timer!” A lot of our photos are taken with self-timer and the mad rush to run back into the right spot always gets a natural smile!

————————————————-

* Hsin-Yi is going away tomorrow to attend a conference with Dr. Ian Dunbar back in Auckland and she will be away until next week – so I won’t have anyone to help me visit your blogs – sorry! I will catch up with you all when she gets back.

And guess what? Instead of kennels, I will be going to stay with a pet sitter this time, as Paul works such long hours and is on-call on weekends, so I would be alone for too long at home…but this lady lives on a big farm where I can run free and she has a Great Dane too so I will have a friend to play with! In fact, I already had an overnight ”trial stay” a few weeks ago to make sure that I was happy with the arrangement and I loved playing with Harley the Great Dane – so I will tell you all about that when I get back!

I also still have lots of ‘catch-up posts’ to do, like telling you about my “doggie dancing camp”, my visit to Nudgee Beach and the latest tricks I’m learning - I always seem to be having adventures faster than I can post about them!
