Beach Drive Blog’s Pet of the Week: Maxwell

Max1

Max, who answers to many affectionate names, is doing one of his least favorite activities in this photo: posing in costume.   

Max was adopted by us 3 years ago when he was 7 and I found him on the internet via PetFinder.Com – which is basically Match.Com for pets and prospective owners (I liked his profile). Max had been in the shelter twice and we can’t figure out why as he is such a wonderful cat.  We feel so fortunate that we found him and hope everyone considers adopting a pet from a shelter.

Max has 2 brothers – DoDo and Baba Ghanoush (“Baby”) and together they are called The Boyz….or sometimes The Men In Black..  There is always something going on and Maxwell is the leader of the pack.  Max is a big fan of James Bond movies and eating kibbles.  Like James, Max looks good in a tuxedo and prefers his martinis shaken…not stirred.   Below is a more dignified photo of Max for you to enjoy. Isn’t he handsome?

International Geologist touring Beach Drive

Pa270051

You may have noticed a tour bus with a large group wandering along the waterfront of Mee Kwa Mooks down to Beach Drive and Jacobsen.  Apparently it is a group of American and Japanese geologist studying earthquakes and tsunami’s and they stopped here for a tour before beginning their conference.   The geologist that I briefly taked to stated that they are interested in this area because of the similarities to California and Japan.
