MaxFund swag, 3

Hello, this is Lucy.  No Lucille Ball jokes, please!  I'm not the redhead in this house!

I was upset when my peep took Tucker for a ride on Friday. I wanted to go too! But I had to stay and gnaw on the nummy chew bone treat that we get when he leaves the house. Oh well.

I know they went to MaxFund because they came back with more goodies with MaxFund's name and logo on them. And we had to pose with the things, of course.

Last time Gremmy posed, she was stuck with the crummy water bottles. So this time she got to model a really cool one! Except that the peep said it was a cup, or a mug, even though all the cups and mugs that I've seen have handles and no lids! But that's what he said it was.

Gremmy also got to model a bag of beans. Now, I don't care for beans. Tucky gets long green ones in his bowl instead of real food so he can lose weight. (It really worked for Holly Bolly Banana Boo!) And Gremmy and Sinjy ask for them too. (Sinjy asks for them really loud, like he does for everything.)

But these beans smelled different, and they're little and brown. Well, whatever. I still don't like beans.

BUT!  Take a close look at the bag! There was a contest for naming the bag o' beans, and a contest for designing the label, and GUESS WHAT  My peep won the naming contest!

I'm so proud of him! I think MaxRoast is a strange name, but then I don't like beans even when they're roasted. (Peeps do strange things to food!)

Look at the cool cup!

And the smelly bag....
Lucy chews on a stick
Doo be doo be choo....

What are these?


I was chewing on a stick that the peep made for me when he gave me these strange blue things he said were carabiner-​flashlight-​whistles. I didn't know what the heck they were for! But then he picked one up and made it whistle.

I cocked my head. How'd he do that? He showed me a bunch of times.

Lucy looks up
You whistled?
Gremlin grimaces
I heard you, I heard you.
Sinjin makes noise too
Bark bark bark bark bark!
Tucker looks up
Yeah?


I don't know if my peep plans to get anything else from the MaxFund store soon. Hmmm. I could use a pretty new tag.... I hope I get to go with him next time!

MaxFund swag, 2

Здесь Синджин.  I mean, is Sinjin here!    The rest of us doggies get to do a couple of posts because Tucker (Таккер) went on a long ride with the Big Guy yesterday.

He came back looking and smelling funny. Maybe he finally went to see Diane the Doggroomer! A friend came over today and said, "Oh, Tucker, aren't you byooteefull!"  ​Heehee!

Awhile back, the Big Guy used a photo of Lucy counter surfing as his avatar on the online forum for MaxFund volunteers.

It looked like Lucy might have been washing dishes, so one silly volunteer asked whether Lucy does windows. Well. Remember when Lucy licked the piano?

Much later the B.G. got a couple of pictures of her licking door jam. It wasn't on the door, though. It was on the wall. So he posted one of those pictures and said that Lucky did walls.

Back to current events. After B.G. posted the first water bottle pictures to the MaxFund forum, the silly volunteer asked whether Tucker and I do windows.

And this was his reply:
Sinjin - Do you do windows?
Tucker - Windows I don't.  ​Doors.
Sinjin - You do doors well!  ​Nodoggy can get through you!
Tucker blocking Lucy in garage Tucker blocking doorway in garage
Tucker - Is hard work.  ​Must rest often.  ​Drink often.
Sinjin - From your MaxFund water bottle?
Tucker - Yes.  ​MaxFund.
Sinjin - I do windows!
Tucker - Doing how?
Sinjin with mouth open at window Sinjin with tongue out at window
Sinjin - Breathe on, lick.  ​Wipe with nose.
Sinjin in window, head to his right Sinjin in window, head to his left Sinjin in window, head to his right again Sinjin in window, head to his left again
Tucker - Thirsty work.
Sinjin - I must drink often from my MaxFund bottles!
Tucker - Yes.  ​MaxFund.
Sinjin - I'll trade you these two soft, chewy bottles for that hard one!
Tucker - Hmmm.
Sinjin with two water bottles Tucker looking at new water bottle
Sinjin - They're older.  ​No telling what stinky stuff is inside!
Tucker - Yes.  ​Stinky.

Tucker smiling at camera
Tucker - I will keep shiny new bottle!
Come to think of it, Таккер the saber-claw has shorter tootsienails now, too!

Hey all! This is Gremlin!

By pup-ular demand (thanks, Minky!) the Boss (whose name isn't Bruce) is helping me do a posting! I'm new at this, so I'm gonna start with an easy one. This post is adapted from one Boss did for the MaxFund volunteers forum.

He posted a note before this one saying that MaxFund's new water bottle (and you can have one too!) is made of polycarbonate, and Consumer Reports magazine has a safety warning about polycarbonate in the May issue. (See that article online and another one, too.)

So then Boss felt like he should be supportive of MaxFund. So he rounded up his new MaxFund bottle, his older MaxFund bottles, and two he got from the grocery store. And me and Sinjin and Tucker. I don't know how he got them to talk in that silly sorta-Slavic accent!

But here ya go:
Tucker has a new MaxFund bottle
Shiny!
Sinjin has two older MaxFund bottles
Seasoned!
Gremlin has grocery-store bottles
Store open 24/7!
Tucker - Is from Russia, Siberian Huskies.
Sinjin - Is home of Molotov cocktail.
Tucker - Yes. Molotov.
Sinjin - Do not buy glass bottles!
Tucker - Anarchist Trotskyite terrorists will steal!
Sinjin - Make Molotov cocktails!
Tucker - Blow things up!
Sinjin - Bad.
Tucker - Yes. Bad.
Sinjin - Very bad.
Tucker - Buy only plastic bottles.
Sinjin - From MaxFund!
Tucker - Yes! MaxFund!
Gremlin - Does King Soopers do refunds?
Tucker smiles for the camera
Nearly bomb-proof!
Sinjin looks at the camera
Lids might Popov.
Gremlin looks a little depressed
Lids do pop off.
