MAXDOG visits the Moose Lodge!

Look who stopped by the Moose Lodge! My pal Maxdog all the way from South Africa!
Moose discovers his surprise visitor!

He has been traveling around and decided that he wanted to visit the Florida Keys.

Moose welcomes MAXDOG to the humble Moose Lodge
Maxdog is an awesome tour guide showing his friends lots of landmarks and wildlife from his homeland.

He had lots of other places to go and could not stay long so I knew exactly where to take him!
The Southernmost Point!  Hmmm... I don't think he was terribly impressed!
MAXDOG visits the southernmost point (on the continental US anyway).

I figured some wildlife would definitely impress him since he has shown me lots of his local critters! So we went to Big Pine Key to see the Key Deer. He thought they looked like antelopes that they have in South Africa only much smaller!

MAXDOG checking out the endemic (and endangered) Key Deer!

He is a popular guy though and has loads of pals he wanted to visit so, sadly I had to say goodbye.
MAXDOG leaving on a jet plane (or sea plane actually!)

Since he was in a hurry we hailed a seaplane to take him to his next destination! I wonder where he is off to next?
P.S. Here are SOME of the other places Max has visited on his tour:
The Chronicle of Woos
Khyra's Khorner
Twinkie the Dog
Duffy's New York Diary
Holy Terriers
Asta's World
Magickal Tails
Stella's World
Sierra Rose
Assistance Dog for Autism
Two Special Wires

Romping & Rolling in the Rockies

  2. Awww, Moose. Not only did you share with Max the landmarks and wildlife of the Keys, but you tempted us to come visit sometime, as well. It's some place we've always wanted to see. We knew about Hemingway's polydactyl kitties (did he see any?), but we didn't know about the endangered Key Deer. Just like Max does for us - educates and enlightens - you did the same for him. We know he'll always remember his visit with a smile. We can see it on his face.

    Yours pals on this special day,
    Jake and Fergi (Nice to meet ya, by the way!)

  3. Great Post, Moose. I can see you and Max had a grand time! What a lot of tales he can tell his family when he gets home.

    I haven't learned about the Key Deer yet, is that as big as they get? (Like the one near Max?)

    Kisses,
    Stella

  10. Dearest Moose
    HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!...this is stop number 9 for me!
    What an incredible surprise this has been for me...Mom has this permanently carved smile on her face!
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for your incredible effort and your hospitality and love in hosting me at your place.
    ...I loved the way you welcomed me!...you had mom in fits of laughter!...Southern most point ??? yeah it might not be my southernmost point, but it is YOURS, so that is all that matters. I must admit, I was tempted to take the 90mile journey to Cuba ---I don't think I have any friends from there!
    Thank you again for everything, my buddy. I feel drowned in love!
    Please don't ever forget that I love you! I most certainly will NEVER forget this incredible valentine's gift. Thank you again!xxxx

  15. You took our Max to the keys! How nice. At first I was worried you weren't going to let him in, but phew he had the frisbee. I love that we're all cheerful on Max Tour. He set the tone.
    Happy Valentine's day, Moose and family
