It is me. Maximus. You may know me as The Nemesis, but privately my mom calls me Bubbers, Bubbaloo, Bubber-bears, or Dummy. It just depends on the moment.
I thought it would be a good idea to write about my favorite moment of the day. Oh sure..I love when Dad wrestles with me or when I sit on Mom snuggle by Mom in front of the fire, but this? This is the big one.
Mom comes home, let’s me outside, and I sit. I know what’s coming. Well, I think I do. There are days when I wonder if she’s letting me out in the hopes I just keep walking, but I’m simply too lazy for that.
I think I smell something, but I quickly realize it’s just me. Alright, so “quickly” might be a bit of an exaggeration. Mom says the only thing I do quickly is scarf down a whole birthday cake.
I resume the wait. My buttocks are cold, but if I walk around, I risk missing it. My ears stand on the ready.
Do you see my ears? They’re on the ready. That’s dog talk, by the way.
Wha..wait. Something’s going on. It’s either them or that mangy cat that beat me up last summer. Don’t make fun. This cat is tough.
Hold…..hold….stay calm…
Here it is! It’s the moment!
Alert! Alert! Danger! Stand down…it’s just a 9-year old neighbor. Whew. Thought it might be the cat.
Love and adore me, kids. I’ve waited all. day. for this.
Thanks for letting me guest post today. Mom keeps saying stuff like “Gotta cook dinner!” and “Why isn’t this house ever clean?” Really wish I could help her with that. As you can see, this blogging thing has worn me out. How does she do it?

So funny! Although you are totally feeding my already absurd mastiff obsession.
This ALMOST makes me want to get a dog. Close. He is adorable. 🙂
This is probably the funniest post that I have ever seen! Thanks for always keeping us laughing!
I can't stop smiling!! 😀
love this post!!! we lost our sweet Honey dog two years ago. she always sat in the bay window seat (specially made for her) and watched for us. thanks for the smile!!!
Very cute and hilarious post 🙂
Too Cute! So nice of Maximus to take the blogging reins for a day.
This has to be the best post ever!!!!!! Such a scene like Lassie waiting for Timmy. Perfect!
My favorite post of the day! So cute. You have a special dog.
The funniest post ever!!! I'm still thinking about the cat!!
I love that big lug 🙂
Gotta love him just for the fact that he loves your kids so much!
Great post! Makes me think of the neighbor's dog who waited for us after school.
I love it!
Must go snuggle my Maximus now!
🙂
I LOVE this! I had to read it aloud to my husband so he understood why I kept giggling. We have two labs and they're too wimpy to let their delicate hineys sit in the snow for anything.
SOOOO sweet! Love this post! The last photo is the best…pillow and blanket? Boy he has the life, doesnt he? 🙂
I love Maximus! When my girls were your kids' age our dog would wait for them by the window and get so excited when the bus pulled up. Thanks for the nice memory. 🙂
LOVE it!! Maximus seems like such a great dog and he's gorgeous too!
I can't get over how much snow you have on the ground!! Whoa!!! Here in Texas that's just unheard of!!
So I am not the only one who lets her dog sleep on a pillow! 🙂 Adorable post, he is a stunning dog.
Awwwwww! What a big sweetie! This is a hilarious post!
so cute…I love this post, and your blog
This post is too funny! Maximus did a fantastic job!
So funny. That Maximus is one smart dog, for sure. He's actually quite a good writer!
This post really took me bag to our years in Hillsdale. We had a Basset hound at the time. It was hilarious to see how the snow dampened his enthusiasm for nosing around the back yard.
I showed my husband this post, and without even thinking I said, "Lookit, honey."
Some parts of Michigan just seep into your consciousness and stay there! 🙂
He might be all those things you've called him, but he knows who's important. Thanks for putting a smile on my face 🙂
Loved it! I think Maximus and my dog could get along great. My dog loves kids, too, so they would have one thing in common. 🙂
That's just ADORABLE! Love that Maximus guest posted today. 🙂
Cute post!! ! Giggling. I have a "Boomer" who gets just as excited when Dad gets home.
Love it! And it looks like you could be here in the Northwest with all that snow!
I just love your dog and the place he has in your family. Any time you have him guest post is fine by me.
I just love this post!! Nothing like man's best friend waiting for the kids to come home!! Adorable!
That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!! Great job….I love it!
This is so cute and so true! It reminds me of my dog Lucy, I think her and Maximus are a match made in heaven:)
SOOOOOO SWEET!!! How cute is this! I love this. This made my night!!! 🙂
So stinkin' cute!!
my dogs sit in the snow as well to wait for the school bus. it's so funny. i do wonder how their butts don't get cold!
Great post and I don't even like dogs.
I love him! Just love him. Makes me so miss my big guy. Thanks for sharing Max today.
LOL! My old dog used to do this with my kids. Of course, no snow. She'd start whining at the door about 5 min before the bus would roll up. Guess she'd hear it coming. And she'd sit on the front porch in the same stance as Maximus,…waiting, waiting…and then as soon as they got off the buss at the top of the road and started down, she'd take off like a shot!
That is a pretty BOSS lookin' dog! Yeah, I don't normally like (or more specifically want to own) big dogs, but he's making it hard to resist. The name is pretty killer too!!

he is the cutest/dumbest doggie ever. i love him!
Love this! Three months ago we lost our beloved cat who, for every single day of my kids' scholastic lives, waited just inside the door for when they came home from school. The funny thing was, she would come down from whatever warm place she was sleeping about 5 minutes before they could even be seen out the window. I don't know how she knew but she did and it was killer the first day my son came home and she wasn't there. Even the day before she died, she was waiting, right inside the door.
HOW FUN IS THIS!!! I have two doggies too that are loved like Maximus! Maybe a guest post from them is in order! 😉
He is so adorable! What a funny post!
So glad I stumbled on this blog a while back. You make me laugh out loud every single time!
I love him! I reeeeally love him! He's adorable. Great, now I want my own Maximus 🙂
My GOSH, I love that dog. I need one just like him. 🙂
LOL seriously LOL!! I got a few strange looks.
I love your post, thank you Maximus for sharing. It's amazing how they all have their very own personalities. Thanks for sharing!
Too funny! Your dog post always crack me up.
I have to be honest. I don't know if I visit your blog every day to read about your mad decorating skills or Maximus. I LOVE that dog! Thanks for sharing from his POV!!
You are hilarious. And brilliant. We love Maximus! Just look how many comments he is getting :). I think your Bubbers should have a regular feature on here!
Awwww!!! Love Maximus! What a sweetie.
Watch out fellow bloggers! hehe
This is so cute, and having just recently adopted a big black lovable lab, I appreciate it even more. He just LOVES us. No. matter. what.
That is one lucky dog to have two adorable kiddos who love him as much as he loves them.
Thanks for letting Maximus hi-jack your blog.
That last pic is adorable. Maximus is such a sweetie.
I hate to admit this, but I log on with the hopes your blog will be about the dog…sorry. I'm sure your blog is very interesting, but I just love to read about your family and their relationship with Max. You really put a great spin on those types of blogs. Looking forward to the next one.
TOOOOO Cute! Love this post. 🙂
haha i love it!!! and i love "she calls me…. depending on the moment". haha, dummy was my favorite. you seriously crack me up
I am sorry but I love the Maximus posts! It is very heartwarming to see how much they really do love their "kiddos".
Love this. Made my afternoon! What a great story of a dog and his kids.
I think we need more posts by Maximus or his own blog called JAM! (Just a Maximus!)
Aw! He is sooo cute. Do you have him off the leash a lot? My hubby and I don't put ours on a leash if we don't have to, I love it!
I LOVE this dog!
I love it! That is the sweetest thing ever!
This is such a darling post, so clever!
That is the sweetest thing ever! I hope when we have kids our dog loves them this much! 🙂
This was adorable! Loved it!
This blog is great..soo cute!
what a funny four legged pal…I love him…and the post and he is really really handsome too!
HILARIOUS!
I love your Maximus stories!!
I'm sorry, I'm going to have to bother you with another comment on this post.
I'm catching up on blog reading & my husband walks in…catches a glimpse of the Maximus guest post & pushes me out of the way to read…
I guess you could call him a fan. LOL
What a fun post. I love you too Bubbers! After each picture, my heart was just pounding and anticipating his every thought. What a great dog for the kids. He is big, loving, loyal and how he loves my grandchildren. Love you Maximus!!!!!
Mom
What a crack up!!!
Love the last pic with the blankie!!!
Melinda
I. LOVE. Maximus!!! And you have taught him well in the art of blogging…just the right touches of humor with that sweet, tug-at-the-heartstrings moment toward the end when his children get home. Thanks for a great start to my day!!
Ha Ha…you totally had me laughing on this one. He is too cute and looks very lovable! 🙂 And I love the pictures, you are a great photographer!
What a great dog! That's how it should be. (It almost reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes when Hobbes would plow over Calvin each day coming home from school. 🙂 )
D'awww, he's beautiful <3 What a big softie!
Just the post I needed to read when feeling a little under the weather. Too cute! Thanks Maximus!!!
Wow, this post actually brought tears to my eyes!!!
Que cachorro mais fofo esse!!!I love!!!!
