Oh Shoots…
Thanks to Max’s efforts we have been introduced to a variety of interesting and attractive gift options to consider for this year’s holiday gift giving. Today, let’s take a look […]
Iron Eyes DogDad
This story takes place in 1971. Anti-Vietnam War protestors were marching in Washington. Charles Manson was sentenced for the horrendous Hollywood murders. Disneyworld opened in Florida and the NASDAQ made […]
Max Visits the Crater
Max has been face first in the food dish a bit too much of late. We’ve started calling him the Dumpling Dog, or “Dumpling” for short. Occasionally we mix it up and call him Gyoza or Bao, sometimes Empanada or Kreplach and sometimes Maultaschen after the large Schwabian dumplings that […]
Max Floats His Boat
Since 1999, an esoteric Buddhist denomination called Shinnyo-en has sponsored a “Lantern Floating” ceremony on Memorial Day to create a moment of reflection and collective compassion and remember those who have passed.

Max Visits The End Of The Road

Max Checks Out The K-Videos
Max the Furbeast decided he wanted to stop by the Pagoda Hotel and see if a fish food treat might be cadged from Uncle Fish. Along the way we passed our favorite Korean video shop and paused to see what new releases were available. The Discovery of Love looked promising. […]
Kiku Becomes a Champion
Regulars readers of this silly dog blog (“poor lost souls” in the vernacular) will remember that we have been tracking the career of one of Max’s boon companions, a sweet little Yorkie named Kiku. See here, here and here. Well, recently we got the great, good news that Kiku, whose name […]
MaxMax Visits Chinatown
Honolulu’s Chinatown is one of the oldest Chinatowns in the United States and it has an interesting history. The AJF and Malt thought a ramble through Tánxiāngshān (the area’s Chinese name meaning “Sandalwood Mountain”) would be interesting, so off we went. In ancient times, before there was a town called […]
