Oh and did we say she is playful? No sleep at Davids tonight as she will play all night, all the boys will be tired but she will keep play bowing until they give in.
Larry
I'm so excited for everyone! I was sitting here brushing Fi and realized it was 2:30 (eastern), which meant the transport was well under way...can't believe I almost forgot. I had to take a break to see how things were going. (Fi is extremely greatful
Amanda
The slide show is fabulous, I'm in tears! I loved the heart theme, how perfect!!!
Hugs, kisses, and much admiration to all of you who helped with Maxine! You are truly special people!

David and Maxine
Great pictures! Maxine is already getting her new dad to rub her tummy! This is one very happy story. Thanks, Chris!
David should also be home by now. It was a 2 hour drive for both of us but I suspect he is busy with his new little lady in the house!
Awwwwwww!!!
we are home and princess Maxine or Maxini is doing well. She sat on my lap most of the way. She slept moost of the way, we stopped twice for some exercise and when we got home we introduced her to Mikimoto, Maya and Aldo they get along pretty well . My dogs were a bit nervous but now they are all outside playing. She is ignorning Maya which is good. Tomorrow we will introduce her to Yoshi. She has had a long day, I will feed her in about a half an hour. I have a few pictures but I am not going to post them untill tomorrow, Miss Maxini needs our attention now.
thank you everyoone for all the transport and support.
David
Awwww thanks Chris...those are great pics!!! David, we'll expect a full report in the morning! Great job everyone!!!
It was an absolute pleasure driving Miss Maxini.
She was a perfect little girl.
I have a little video of Steel, Cheif & Roxie running around in Chris yard. I will have to upload it later.
I'm glad you're home and Maxine is getting along well. Hope you have a great night! Thanks so much to Larry and Terrina and all those who helped with the transport! It's been so wonderful to be able to follow the progress all day
Miss Maxini is just gorgeous and she looks like she is a real sweetheart...rolling over for her new Dadddy David and letting him rub her belly...I am so hooked on girlie chows since Cheyenne.
I know that Yoshi and Maxine will do great together just like my 2. Takes a little while but they will be best buds.
What a lovely uplifting story this has been. You guys have been really phenomonal with the transport...all of you are awesome! This was just meant to be when Larry and Terrina found her.
And of course Maxwell will watch over her always.
Thank you everyone,
Maxine is inside , the dogs are nervously sniffing buts Maxine is taking it like a princess. Aldo wants to play in the worst way but doesn't know how. Maxine ate just a little bid, I will give her more later. She isn't Maxwell but she is wonderful. So far she has been called Princess Maxine, Maxini and ms Maxine.
david
She has one more name and you will come to love... "Maxine Behave" they are tired and can't play any more
Thank you everyone, donantions, tansportation and love from everyone on this wouderful list. I am sure as David and Maxine get to know each other we will see lots of pictures tommorow
David,
she will never be Maxwell but she will be your PRINCESS MAXINE and steal you heart in no time
When my 1st rescue chow mix, MoMo died 13 years ago I was so devastated but after 2weeks I had to get another one..so off to the pound I went and came home with "baby" JR.
I believe with all my heart that MoMo transferred part of his spirit to JR and left the other part for JR to make into his own. In fact the day I brought JR home he went straight to the back yard and sat by Mo's grave. MoMo still lives in my heart right next to JR and
And Larry, I am betting 100 % with you that she will sleep with Dad tonight. She certainly seems to be a little love and I am sure you will miss her.
lol she is on the couch sleeping next to me. she has played with the boys, dogs and is just plain tuckered out. She is really a sweet sweet girl
Love, love love. Ain't it great??!
This whole event/excursion is wonderful and all should be blessed for their direct/indirect involvement with this exemplary heartfelt trek to a great ending...Congrats David! Enjoy this wonderful transition to a great future for all involved in your household..Looking forward to some pictures..God bless all of you!
Cherish every moment with your Chowlings.

Good Morning,
Ms Maxine slept very well after having a few bedtime snacks. She is a good sleeper, not a snuggler yet but slept in bed. We had a few minutes of tummy scratching and talking, I got another kiss. She was quite angry this morning as there were a few of those big dogs with sticks on their heads beyond the fence. She told them where to go.. She is getting along well the the other dogs, most of the nervousness is going away. In a few minutes she will go for walkies, ( very late for Yoshi) and meet Yoshi. I am hoping things will go well. I am not sure I can ever trust Yoshi alone with anyone but hopefully he will find Maxine as charming as the rest of us do. more later
Thank you so much for the up date..I am sorry I was not chimming in earlier..I started to communicate on this thread at the end...Congrats David...Sounds great..I know from experience one has to do advanced behavioral interventions prior to a possible confrontation..You are obviously seasoned (per say) enough to make this a success from the very beginning...
Cherish every moment with your Chowlings.
Jonathan
Wonderful!
Woo Hoo!!! I love this story.
Hugs from Dargo and Denny!
Oh, this so fabulous! She is looks like the sweetest little girl. Hopefully, the meet and greet with Yoshi went well. I bet she just loved walkies this morning.
Here are the pictures I promised. It was a long day for Miss Maxine. She acted like a little trooper. We got home around
http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z49/6dogsdad/maxinevoyage/
click on the link to see the pictures, I think there are about 22.
She is so small, smaller than Mikimoto. I was really surprised, they said small but I didn't imagine this small. She is so skinny I can feel her ribs, She looks very healthy, no doubt to Terrina and Larrys loving care. I am going to put her on the Bama diet for a while to fatten her up like I did for the Yoshi-monster.
David
Awww, looks like she is fitting in nicely.
Thanks for the pictures, David. Maxine is such a pretty color! It looks like she's getting used to things and is fitting right in. She certainly looks content cuddled up with you! I hope all goes well with Yoshi and Maxine!
CoraP.
She is fitting in well, she is really active and the little dogs are getting used to it. She has been up and down stairs all day playing with toys, getting tummy rubs and going outside, everyone has been playing with her alot the boys and especially my partner Jeff are in love with her. she is finally taking a break and sleeping by my feet.
David
Aww, Maxine is just adorable. If she had some white fur around her nose and a crimpled ear she could be Fiona's twin (aside from the skinny thing
How did her and Yoshi's meet and greet go?
Amanda
Maxine just had her first zoomie since being home. Aldo and Mikimoto don't understand zoomies so I had to put them inside but then she had a good 5 minute, run like a crazy woman zoomie . I think she is beggining to show her true personality, playing all the time,
David
Glad that she is finally home and having her zoomies. She always playful, that's great
Mishka and his family
David I just read through this thread and I am crying like a baby. Tears of joy of course. I'm so happy for all of you.
well she now knows where the bed is and goes to it when i bed time. She does like to play in bed, last night she pulled all thecovers off and had to get tummy scratches and squeek her toy but she had fun and then went to sleep
David
Bless her - mission complete!
Princess Coco thinks that Princess Maxine has found the right castle, and wishes lots of great moments with her new family...
Elodie
Awwwww she is sleepin' with you already
Walkies went well, Yoshi ignres her most of the time, I just let her outside with his haw haw ness, She runs circles around him goes in for play and then runs away, he is too slow for her. She certainly wants all the attention, it may be hard oh her tomorrow when i go to work
David
That's exactly how
David what a wonderful story, you will make her a wonderful dad, there are so many words I want to say,but just can't I am just so thrilled for you.
I do want to say that if I am allowed I would like to copy this story and her pictures and add them to my chow chow web site, this is just a wonderful story, I keep repeating myself, must be getting old.
