Mornings With Miracle Max

17/12/2023

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I have posted.

Since September I have been busy chasing the bunny in CAT and FastCAT.

Momma had the 4th surgery on her wrist in an effort to get more use of her hand back.

We participated in the AKC FastCAT Invitational last week. My times weren't the best, but I still won Best of Breed for Teddy Roosevelt Terriers for the second year.

I had a lot of fun at the Airbnb house. There was a swimming pool and a huge fenced back yard for us dogs. Momma and I spent a lot of time together! It was such a wonderful week to be with my Mom and Momma Kaye, Ms. Desi, and Ms. Pat, Dixie, sister Lizzy, and the furry Teddy, Loki. (He was an honorary Teddy this week. He's really a black and white Pomeranian.)

Here is my run from the finals on Friday.

Long time no post. I've been busy chasing bunnies (FastCAT and CAT), tussling with Sam, and watching over Mom.

I am now A FCAT6!!

And... we got mail! Yes, we are heading back to Orlando for the AKC FastCAT Invitational in December. Mom says I should get my FCAT7 there!

I have reached 100 followers! Thank you for your continued support. I could not have done it without each of you. 🙏🤗🎉

Mom and Momma Kaye took me and Dixie to Orlando to run in the AKC FastCAT Invitational last week. My sister Lizzy came and ran too!

I earned my FCAT5 and went Best of Breed at the event.

Dixie earned her FCAT4. And Lizzy earned her FCAT.

I had to race against Dixie for Best of Breed in the finals. Dixie is my FastCAT racing buddy and we're friends, so I wasn't eager to go against her. But we talked and we decided whomever won we would celebrate together. We had our photo taken together with all the big ribbons. And our Moms hugged and cried when it was all over.

It was so much fun!! And this nice man made a sketch of me and a sketch of Dixie when we visited the Tractor Supply booth in the big hall where the dog show was.

Mom says Dixie, Lizzy, and I have qualified for next year's Invitational. So we'll see how it goes next year!

Momma Kaye and Mom tag teamed to catch me at the Cahaba Valley Kennel Club FAST CAT - Wilsonville, AL. The great team of folks with Time to Fly set up and ran the bunnies for us dogs to chase.

Monday was party day with Momma Kaye's Dixie earning her FCAT2, my sister Lizzy earning her DCAT, and I earned my FCAT3!

It was a hot weekend, but I didn't mind.

Good Friday!

Momma broke her wrist at the end of March and spent some time at the human vet having surgery on her boo boo.

It is my job to take care of her. I give her hugs and kisses to help take the pain away.

So I haven't been on the page much.

We went to Huntsville and chased the bunny. And next weekend we get to chase the bunny in Wilsonville.

Between Momma's hurt wrist and this stuff called gas being silly expensive, Momma says we might not get to chase the bunny or go visit hotels as much as she had planned for this year.

But like Momma says, it is what it is.

The Pensacola, FL FastCAT results are posted on AKC. I'm back on top of the FastCAT Top 20 for Teddy Roosevelt Terriers!

My time wasn't great, Newnan times should put be back over 20 mph.

I'm so excited to see more TRTs are running this year!! I love that they are having fun too!

First Teddy Roosevelt Terrier to earn the Trailing and Locating Level 1 and Urban Locating Level 1 Titles in the North American Sport Dog Association! I also have Qs in Shed Dog level 1 and Urban Locating level 2.

29/01/2022

It's not FastCAT, but it is me finding rats, fast! Mom says she is hoping I finish out my NASDA Level 1 Trailing and Locating and Urban Locating titles today.

If I can finish the titles, I'll be the First Teddy Roosevelt Terrier to earn the titles.

I'll get some photos posted later today!

"All I want for Christmas is my FCAT2. My FCAT2. It would be great if AKC would process my FCAT2.."

Good morning!

Momma says Sandy Paws is coming on Saturday!!

I know I've been a good boy becsuse when we go to bed every night Momma puts me on the bed and hugs me and pats my belly telling me how I'm such a good boy and she loves me.

So bring the good stuff Sandy Paws! I think I've earned it!

Oh, bring stuff for all us dogs. We're all good dogs!

Momma took me out to play last night. We went to hunt rats with Ms. Tiffany. Aunt Tammy brought Daisy. and Ms. Kim had Wylliam and Brian there too.

It was kinda spooky. It was getting dark, and the weeds were way over my head in one trail. But I followed the track and found the rat!

We went to another trail and it was so dark! A big owl watched me from his tree. I smelled rat, and a whole bunch of other odors too. I kept getting caught on big sticks and had to jump over them to get to the rat smell.

I followed the trail to where a sewer pipe stuck up. And the rat odor was collecting there. Just as I started sniffing around to find the rat I stepped on a crackly thing and it made me, Momma, and Ms. Tiffany jump out of our skins!!

Momma and Ms. Tiffany said it was a beer can. I say it was the devil himself!!

I got myself back together and went on to find the rat.

I had fun though. I'm a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier and we love finding stinky rats!!

When I'm not running after the lure, I like to chill at home.

03/12/2021

26/11/2021

Good night Max! I know you're having a great time tonight at your slumber party at Momma Kaye's. But try to get some sleep! You and the girls get to chase the bunny tomorrow!

25/11/2021

Oh, Momma Kaye gave me a yummy!

25/11/2021

Momma.... why? This isn't your car. It's Momma Kaye's car.

24/11/2021

Hey, I think I forgot to tell y'all I got my FCAT at the BKC FastCAT in Wilsonville!

I'm running in Montgomery this weekend, and Perry, Ga next weekend, and then back to Wilsonville for my FCAT2 run!

Momma is very happy with me, and I love chasing the lure!

We are hoping the rankings will stand so that Momma Kaye's Dixie, my sister Lizzie, and I get invited to the AKC FastCAT Invitational in Orlando in December 2022.

Hi everyone! Mom has been sitting on her phone so I have not been able to post.

According to Mom's records, I earned my FCAT at the Birmingham Kennel Club FastCAT on Nov. 7. I am the first Teddy to earn an FCAT with AKC!

And I'm in an article on Teddy Roosevelt Terriers in the November 2021 Showsight Magazine! That's me at a barn hunt lesson, and dock diving in a competition at Westrover!

Mom has to video us soo much.
Dobby and I wrestle every morning. Sometimes Obi joins in. Sometimes he's the fun police.
