The Max and Annie children's book series and website is celebrating 12 years of providing children with high quality stories starring a group of lively springers: the original Max and Annie, the rescued Trini, as well as the current brother combination, Tak and Ollie.
Although Max, Annie and Trini have passed on, their stories continue to delight young readers. Further, Tak and Ollie have stepped up to follow in the tradition of making children laugh, while gently teaching some life lessons.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

INTRODUCING PENNY
Penny, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, is the latest dog to join the Philipson family and school visiting team. Penny was rescued from the streets of Indianapolis by Cavalier Rescue USA and adopted on December 17, 2012 by our family, Sandy, Elliot and Tak. Although we will never know her birthday, Penny is approximately 6 years old, and we know that she did not have a very good early life. She probably never had a chance to play outside, take walks, and be loved like her brother, Tak. In spite of this, Penny is the sweetest girl you could ever want to meet. She is a bit shy at first, but loves children and grownups! She did her first two school visits recently, and really shined! We named her Penny because it is lucky to find a penny on the street, and we know that Penny will now have a lucky life as a beloved family member, school visitor, and maybe even book character. She even has a pink stroller for wheeling around schools! Welcome to our family, Penny!
