The BAD Dog....




This is Max, he is a three year old black lab who stole our hearts last January (Thank you Steve, we love him)..... I can't believe he has been with us a year already. We were really worried that Kringle and he would not get along and well they don't...but they do tolerate each other and for the first time yesterday in the snow had a blast playing together.

Well Max is my BAD boy....Ok, maybe not bad, but very very ornery..... can't you see it in the picture?

He is very funloving and just wants to please. His intelligence scares me sometimes. He wants to make people laugh and you can tell when he succeeds he is happy. But he also knows when he does wrong....he literally tells on himself. He will come find you where ever you are and put his head down and cover his eyes....as if to say,
"When you see it, don't be made at me, I love you."

Saturday night was a perfect example of this....I baked homemade dog treats for Max and Kringle. While letting them cool, Rebecca and I took some laundry upstairs. While we were up there, we heard a crash...not a big crash but you knew something was knocked over....about 45 seconds later here he comes, he was very wet.... when we got downstairs we learned that he spilled my Iced Tea all over himself when he was up on the kitchen counter eating the dog biscuits! ARGHHHH!!!! At least he left 6 of them. Of course if he had not spilled the tea and probably scared himself I am certain he would have eaten them all and then been like, "Oh my goodness Mother, look the biscuits disappeared! Kringle did it, Kringle did it...."

I will see if I can't figure out how to do a slide show, they are the most wonderful pooches!
