It is no wonder that our "boy" Max has many "dog" traits...

My mom got Charlie (a little Terrier) when Max was about 3 months old as a puppy and the two of them are just a month apart and were babies together! Then Mom got Mariah a beautiful Black lab, again as a puppy. You would find Max is the dog cages and chewing on a bone, it was his start of his dog traits.

Now that Max is older (2.5) and mom just has Mariah (Charlie went to live with some friends) but Max calls her Charlie, he is still learning the ways of a dog. After watching the dog pee in the grass he has now decided that, that is a good thing to do! When I come home from work he barks at me right along with my Mariah. If a truck is in the alley you can find Max and Mariah barking along the fence. They are such vigilant watch dogs! Max has even tried to scratch behind his ears with his legs like the dog!

We have a friend whose name is Max, he has said he will teach him in the 'ways of being a Max" I guess we should start that soon! At least before he starts eating off the floor...oh wait too late...
