A GOOD Boy!

 

 
 
 
 



Max graduated from his second obedience class on Thursday night.  He's been so good in this class and the other.  Can he do much more than he did before? No.  But he got to go out with me every Thursday night.  His "Leave it!" is improved....and we're still working on everything.

Next activity? Nosework class. We'll see how this goes.

I love my little graduate!

Birthday Parties Aren't His Thing

At Canon's and Roxy's 6th birthday party, June 21, 2015

A Year Ago...

You were found on a highway in Jal, New Mexico.  I use February 1 as the date, because that's the date scratched on your rabies tag.  That's behind you, Max. We're planning to celebrate your life on February 9, the day you came to us.  That will be your unofficial second birthday.

 

You're in a household where everyone is bigger than you.  Play gets a little rough, sometimes, but that doesn't stop you.  First defense: growl and bark, then run near mom.

 

Growling, barking and whining are also used when you want something- breakfast, dinner, a toy, or something Canon has...

Ten Months...

...and I still marvel that you're a part of our lives!  Sweet, sweet boy.



My Protector

You protect me from:

• people walking by the house
• the neighbors
• thunder and lightning
• things that go bump in the night
• dogs barking
• the washer on spin cycle
• the phone
• the doorbell
• creaks in the house
• the refrigerator
• the dishwasher
• coyotes in the distance

GOOD DOG!!!!!!

6 Months!

We've been together for half a year!  You rule two big poodles and me.
I love you freshly groomed...

  or freshly bathed...

Face it.  You're just wonderful!

Going on 5 Months

The fun continues...

It's been almost 5 months.  You know how to get a vantage point to rule the two big dogs.  Watching the three of you makes my day, noisy as it is.

You seem to prefer playing with Canon.  Following him around is fun for you, as is attacking him on our way to breakfast in the morning.

One of the great things is, because of your size, you'll always look like a cute puppy.  People ask me what you are.  Sometimes you're a poodle, or poodle cross, or and I-don't know, but you're always cute!

Even at the end!
