Three Legged Max

Hi all!  Mom and I took pictures last month, but never got around to posting them.  So we're just skipping that.  This month Mom took most of the pictures of her silicone stuff, but I got a few in. 

10:26am--Out for my morning pee.

12:36pm--Mom's making this finger.  That's wax in plaster.

1:06pm--And more wax.

5:19pm--I like to play with ALL the toys!

5:20pm--Riley is just chillin'.

5:21pm--Mom is up to something, so I'm checking it out.

5:22pm-And Lucy.

5:55pm--Mixing up some silicone.

6:16pm--Coloring it.

6:35pm--Putting it in the mold.

6:59pm--Clamping it down for the night.

7:30pm--The finger won't be ready for the 12th, so here is a thumb Mom made earlier this week.

Hi all.  Hoppy 12 of 12!  I got stuck at home most of the day, but Mom did play with me some once she got home.  Lucy and Riley are home tonight, so they've been bugging me.  Riley keeps trying push my buttons, but I just put him in his place.

9:14am--Check out amputee, Andre, and his cool legs!  Mom didn't make them, but she saw him in People and thought he was quite the pup.

12:35pm--Somebody refilled the candy machine Grammy sent Mom two years ago.

1:22PM--Mom's birthday cards.

6:21PM--Woot, woot!  Hanging out at home!

6:22PM--Today I'm tugging my most favoritest snowman toy, which I won at last year's costume contest.

6:23PM--This is how close Mom came to taking a picture of her first ever bloody nose and sharing it with you.

6:45PM--Check out Mom's sewing machine. 

6:46PM--And her pin cushion.

7:00PM--Don't you think Mom should buy some lightbulbs?  BEFORE the last one burns out?

7:16PM--Shiba Inu Rescue Association's NINPER is MISSING in Vernon Hills, IL.  Please check out her lost flyer HERE.

7:35PM--Riley and Lucy.  And an upsidedown hamburger.

7:36pm--I have ALL the tug toys!

Yay!  It's 12 of 12 again and it's Sunday.  Mom got to spend most of the day with me! 

9:04am--Out for my  morning pee.  And enjoying the sunshine, of course!

 

11:15am--Mom went to get some lunch from Culver's.  I didn't get any :(

 

11:19am--Mom caught this picture at a red light.  Apparently, that care is finomnl. 

 

12:40pm--I didn't want to pose.  Stop it, Mom!

 

12:41pm--Me and Mom!!!  Aren't we cure?  I still didn't want my picture taken.

 

1:15pm--Mom finally hunted me down.  She snuck up on me and took  the photo. 

 

5:25pm--Did mom get her hair cut short???  Nah, you just can't see it in the ponytail.  Don't worry, Grandma!

 

6pm--I need a nap!

 

6:30pm--Mom was looking through some of her old photos.  Here are a few of them.  Top left is Mom and Little Grandma.  Top right is Mom, Grandpa, and Ashley (and Buddy).  Bottom are both just Mom.  She says she could have been Harry Potter in that left one!

 

6:50pm--Mom volunteered at the Tour de Fat yesterday and got this shirt for her services.

 

8:05pm--Mom met up with Amanda at the local village festival.  Amanda's daughter, Sadie, got her face painted like a Cheetah.  Isn't she cute?

 

8:30pm--Sadie found a new friend while going down the slide!

Sooo, it's finally spring time here in Illinois.  Unfortunately, Mom has to work today.  She almost got stuck with jury duty, but when she went to Daley Center yesterday, they never even got to her to ask the questions.  Yay!  Here are my pics for 12 of 12!

2:00am--Woke up and decided to bug Mom into waking up, too.

 

2:01am--I wanted her to take my picture!

  

6:39am--Good morning, World!

 

9:02am--Mom is heading to her Bourbonnais office.  Come back, Mom!

 

9:03am--Check out my sweet setup in the car.

 

10:29am--Mom made it to Bourbonnais.  Amanda had an upset tummy so she asked Mom to pick up some Gatorade.  Mom's tummy wasn't feeling that great, either, so she got some for herself, too.

 

11:40am--KIWI!  Mom drew this on the WhiteOut about a week ago, but she doesn't think anyone noticed.

 

12:27pm--Lunch time!  So, what do people with tummy aches eat for lunch?  Mexican!

 

1:29pm--Check out how Mom's scar is healing.  There was a clearer picture of it, but Mom wanted me to put this one up since Amanda snuck in on it!  Notice the Gatorade bottle.

 

5:49pm--Mom rode her bike to Jimmy John's for a sandwich.  She forgot to bring a lock, so she just brought the front wheel inside and turned the bike upside down on the sidewalk. 

 

6:23pm--Check me out!

 

7:00pm--Alternative Energy!  Use it!

12 of 12 April 2009

So, Mom went to Disney World last weekend with some of her family and she came back sick.  She still feels yucky.  Since today was Sunday, she was home all day, so most pictures are of me!

12:00am  Mom is trying to get to sleep, but she does not feel well.   

7:34am  Mom got up to go to the bathroom and I took her spot!  I'm keeping it warm for her. 

10:08am  I'm looking at the light reflection on the wall.  That's what Mom says it is, but I know it's really something coming to get me.  That's why I bark every time I see it. 

10:30am--Just hanging out. 

12:20pm  Out for a tinkle. 

6:15pm  Mom's sitting in line at the drive-thru.  Mmm.  Easter dinner.  She still feels pretty yucky.  Can you tell?

 

6:16pm  The lady in front of Mom threw this out.  Litterbug!  Mom says she could see the lady get a funny look on her face in her mirror after Mom stuck the camera out of the window and took the picture.

 

6:17pm  Do you think they take bills larger than $20? 

7:30pm  See me and my favorite rope toy?  I love to tug.  See my lovely tongue sticking out?  Licking my lips.

 

7:31pm  I'm gonna EAT YOU!  No, not really.  Mom just says I looked vicious in this one. 

8:40pm  Hanging out behind the chair.  I'm really kind of tired of having my picture taken, but Mom said she needs a couple more. 

9:00pm  I'm ready for my close-up!

6:33am--I am NOT a morning dog!   

9:00am--Check out Mom's snazzy orange laces (or so she says. . . dogs are colorblind)!  Her office is going to do the MS Walk and they sent her boss these orange shoe laces for it.  He didn't wear them, so Mom put them in her shoes.  She says they scare people!

   

10:37am--See Mom's mask?  The vacuum isn't working so all sorts of gunk is blowing around when she grinds stuff on the scary Trautman.  See her lion face?  Grrr. 

11:21am--The inside of my, I mean Mom's new car.  Look!  Only 78 miles! 

11:22am--The view out the back of our car. 

11:23am--It's sooooo orange! 

3:36pm--My mom said she's trying to set up her demo arm from school so an OT at the hospital can borrow it to learn how to use it. 

 

3:47pm--The lovely view of the outside from Mom's corner office. . . er, corner of the four person office.

 

6:52pm--Haha!  I look like a scared cat! 

6:53pm--But I can be oh-so-handsome!
 

6:54pm--Checking out the camera. 

6:59pm--Working on my blog!  Enjoy!

12 (9)of 12 February 2009

Mom is sorry she didn't get these up earlier, but we only got 9 pictures on the 12th and just got them off the phone tonight.   After much begging from folks, we have finally posted them. 

10:13am--Mom is at work and checking looking through a brochure on the C-Leg (a microprocessor knee)

 

12:11pm--Mom's getting lunch at Bahay Kubo with Amanda.  I didn't get a doggie bag :(

 

12:27pm--Amanda had this dessert.  Mom has yet to taste it.  Not really sure what it is. 

 

2:32pm--Mom's looking at Doritos from the other day.  Hmmm.  Did she eat them?

 

5:15pm--Look!  It's me!  I was shy this time.  This is the only picture Mom got of me.

 

6:00pm--Riley appears to be trying to suffocate himself on the bottom of the chair.  I think Lucy has been bothering him!

 

7:10pm--I bet Riley wishes he'd succeeded.  His mom put this fleece on him and he got stuck in it!  He didn't move for like 3 minutes!

 

7:11pm--Lucy is wild about her blue sweater!

 

7:30pm--But her mom (and mine) loves her hoody!

12 of 12 January 2009

Happy New Year, folks!  We're doing the 12 of 12 again this year.  Today was the first one, so enjoy!  Mom got a new camera, so her pictures are no longer named by the times they were taken, so times are only approximate.  Next month she promises to try to remember the times.  Oh, and at the bottom is a bonus of a video of from yesterday.  Me in the snow!

10am--Check out the new board of example legs at Mom's office.  She and Jeff were working on it today since there was no meeting. 

11am--The new spanish Patient Guides came in at Mom's work.  Yesss! 

 

Some time after noon--Mom's water bottle.  She has fond memories of waking up at 5am to ride her bike for 7 hours.  This year she's not riding, but she is roadie-ing.  She's working Traffic.

 

6:30pm--Blizzard conditions, they say.  Winds up to 40mph are expected.  Don't worry.  Mom was sitting at a red light. 

 

7pm--Guess whose footprints these are.  No, not mine!  Who has a right foot that sticks out all goofy-like?

 

7:30pm--I'm checkin' out the snow, too.  I like to stick my nose in it.

   

7:31pm--This is fun!

 

7:32pm--Actually, I was just running to go in.  It's cold out there!

 

7:33pm--And straight to dinner!  Yum!

 

7:34pm--Really Yum!!!

 

7:45pm--Mom's dinner.  I really wanted some of that, but she fooled me and fed me my dinner first.  I got full before I could drool over hers.

 

8:30pm--The latest picture of mom's surgery scar. 

 

September 12 of 12

Mom took pictures today!!!

7:37am--Out for a morning pee.  It's raining, so Mom couldn't convince me to go out into the yard.  She said this wasn't very nice, but I didn't care. 

7:55am--Mom's breakfast.  Closest thing to Chik-Fil-A around here.

   

9:42am--Mom's work.  Plaster and pipes.  Lots of legs to make.

 

10:48am--Mom's co-worker playing in the toilet. 

 

10:51am--Don't Flush!!!

   

10:52am--This is so unfair.  Mom won't let me drink out of the toilet, but she can play in it?  Hmph!  Mom wanted me to let you all know that this was a NEW toilet seat.

 

11:31am--Some of Mom's work for today.

 

5:18pm--Mom trying out her new Coke bottle grippy opener, which the Coca Cola company sent her along with two coupons for her complaint about the new bottle caps being hard to open and cutting her fingers.

 

7:18pm--It's blurry, but Mom tells me Chrissy forgot 12 of 12 and wanted this to be her contribution to the day.

 

7:28pm--I'm checking out some reflections on the wall.

 

7:56pm--Mom says this is the last view of her wrist before it gets all surgeried up again.  There will be a 4.5" scar addition to the arm in a few days.  Wish her luck!

 

8:43pm--Playing with the snowman I won as part of my gift bag from the Pooch Parade!

August 12 of 12

Here are Mom's pics for the August 12 of 12!

7:31am--Here I am hanging out in the yard in the morning.  Just taking it easy. 

7:33am--Trying to get my muzzle off.  Mom puts it on when I go out in the morning so I don't wake the neighbors. . . we've had notes taped to our door in the past. 

7:44am--Mom's breakfast.  Mmm.  The Carnation Instant type. 

10:57am--Some random heads at Mom's work.  These are what some baby helmets were made on.  Aww, all the babies will have round heads now!

12:41pm--Mom's having lunch with Jeff and Amanda in Bourbonnais.  They actually posed!

2:20pm--Mom drew this picture at work the other day.  Someone else added the words. 

7:33pm-I'm just laying in Mom's bed, getting all comfy.  She doesn't mind. 

7:42pm--Mom says you have to click on the next to pictures to see them bigger because she didn't want to gross anyone out who didn't want to be grossed out.  Here is a screenshot where she's checking out a video of a below knee amputation online.  If you want to see it, too, go to www.ampsurg.org  So cool! 

 

7:46pm--This is a picture of what they are going to do to Mom's arm when she has her next surgery.  Ouch!  Again, click to see it bigger!

8:08pm--Giving kisses to Mommy!!!  Oh look!  Caffeine Free Coke. 

8:09pm--Who doesn't need another picture of my tail?  It's so curly!

8:27pm--Mom isn't feeling that great, so she's checking her temperature :(
