It feels good to be back in the saddle again here at Talk2theAnimals! We’ve been down for a major renovation and facelift and now we are up and running. I hope you enjoy the new look and take time to explore the blog. I invite you to leave any comments you may have in the comment section.
Meanwhile, many things have been occurring for myself and Talk2theAnimals.
In the early part of October, it was time to put my almost 17 year old perpetual puppy, Teddy, down. Teddy lived a long and happy life, and my dog Emmie and I have since been learning to integrate his absence into our lives.
And Max has been helping us.
Meet Max – a 4 year old part Black Lab/Staffordshire cross. 
Max was found wandering the streets in one of the suburbs north of the Twin Cities. When he was returned to his person, the person decided not to keep Max. So Max went to one of the humane societies.
The humane society cared for Max to the best they were able. But he needs LOTS of exercise and they simply did not have the means to give him what he needed. The result was Max became depressed and people passed him by. Nobody wanted to adopt a depressed dog.
So Max was in the shelter for approximately six weeks. Somehow Midwest Animal Rescue Services (MARS) found out about Max, pulled him out of the shelter and put him under their care. With MARS, Max got to go into foster care.
I found out about Max through an email one of my friends sent, who knew I was beginning the search for a new dog. I called MARS, filled out the adoption form and had the home inspection. Then Emmie and I went to meet Max, Emmie approved of him and the rest is history.
I imagine you would not be surprised to hear that Max is a very laid back, talkative dog. So much so that he has his own FaceBook Fan Page: IamMaxRoper. Coming from a shelter, Max wants to help other dogs who are looking for homes, and he’s passionate about spreading the truth about how great black dogs are! Apparently in the shelter Max heard of ‘black dog syndrome‘ and he now has taken it upon himself to single pawedly put a stop to that. You can help him by becoming a fan on his IamMaxRoper fan page!
It is good to be back. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you. Until tomorrow,
Harmony,
Janet Roper
