Salad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other night mommy was eating this green stuff. I kept going over to sniff the bowl and mommy kept yelling at me "NO MAX" this is mommies dinner. I could not stop wanting what was in that bowl. So finally after I drove her nuts for 10 minutes, she finally gave me a piece of that yummy stuff in the bowl. Mommy was smiling and laughing because she could not believe I liked the green stuff and I wanted more. She kept giving me pieces and I would gobble them down so quickly. I love that green stuff! By the way I think mommy called it salad, whatever that means.

Why I will never follow Daisy's rules.

Daisy is crazy.

HER RULE 1. I rule around this place because I am bigger.
MY RULE 1. I rule around this place because I am cuter.

HER RULE 2. I can have all the toys because I am bigger.
MY RULE 2. I can have all the toys because I am cuter.

HER RULE 3. I can chew on whatever I want because I am bigger.
MY RULE 3. I can chew on whatever I want because I am cuter.

HER RULE 4. I eat whenever I want because I am bigger.
MY RULE 4. I eat whenever I want because I am cuter.

HER RULE 5. I own the couch because I am bigger.
MY RULE 5. I own the couch because I am cuter.

HER RULE 6. I can burp and do stinkers whenever I want because I am bigger.
MY RULE 6. I don't burp or do stinkers because I am cuter.

HER RULE 7. I am Daddy's favorite because I am bigger.
MY RULE 7. I am Mommy's favorite because I am cuter.

HER RULE 8. I have Mommy wrapped around my paw because I am bigger.
MY RULE 8. I will let Daisy think she has Mommy wrapped around her paw because I am cuter.

HER RULE 9. I have the put on my custest face act down packed because I am bigger.
MY RULE 9. Her cutest face act doesn't work next to my long eared brown eyed look.

The world according to Daisy has alot of flaws because I am alot smarter that anyone thinks I am, except for Mommy. Mommy knows I am really smart, it's just that I do things when I want and not any time sooner. So if any of you puppies or dogs are going by Daisy's rules don't bother the cute factor is better.

My Birthday!

It's my birthday, yippee! Whatever that means. Mommy keeps fussing at me, she is getting on my nerves. She is all up in my face showering me with hugs and kisses. Ewwww! Big boys don't want hugs and kisses. Mommy just doesn't get the hint. If she wants to give someone kisses she can go bother Daisy. Maybe this birthday thing is all right, she did give me a special dinner tonight. It was so good going down. Some pork and gravy added to my boring dry food. I would love to eat just that juicy stuff but mommy mixes it very good, so I don't have a choice but to eat them both.

I keep thinking about what I want to chew on tonight, because I will get away with it because of the birthday thing. My first choice would be those red fuzzy things mommy wears on her feet (slippers), or daddy's video game controller for his Xbox. I will probaly go for the slippers because mommy is the softie around here. Daddy doesn't let me get away with much, but maybe if I give him my cutest long eared, brown eyed look I can get away with something.

I don't think Daisy understands the birthday thing either because she is her same pain in the butt self. She never lets me chew on her legs or jump on her back. Every time I try to play with her she just stands up and walks away. I know I can be rough sometimes, mommy says I'm like a bull in a china shop. I just want to play but Daisy doesn't want to. Oh well, I guess I will go and find something to do. Arooooo!

The BIG day

Mommy took me to this building that had a bunch of doggies barking and going crazy. We stood in this line and then Mommy put me on this metal thing and the lady behind the counter said 52 lbs. Then some lady came out and took me and Mommy told me to be a good boy. They took me to some room and then all I know is that I woke up later in a strange place without my Mommy. I felt funny like something was missing. I forgot Mommy told me I was going to get surgery so that there would be no little Maximus' running around. They put this big plastic thing around my head so I could not touch anything on my body. What's a guy to do when he's got an itch? I did not like that plastic thing at all. I'm all better now. Nothing can keep me down for long. Gotta run and play with Daisy. Aroooo Aroooo

Halloween?

Mommy keeps talking about Halloween. I have no idea what it is. Last night she made me try on this outfit and said it was for a Halloween parade. I still don't know what Halloween is? I did not like the outfit she put on me. I kept trying to eat the pieces that she put on my legs. I don't like anything on my feet or legs. She kept taking pics of me and making a big deal. She kept telling me how cute I'm going to look. I don't need some silly outfit to look cute. I'm always cute. Maybe I'll find out what all this Halloween stuff is. Gotta go bug Daisy. Arooooo.

My little sister

Mommy and Daddy brought home this red ball of fuzz. She always wants to play with me. Mommy and Daddy said they got her so I wouldn't be lonely. She is almost as big as me. She always barks at me when I go near her food. I'm always hungry and I just want to see if she'll share with me. I like having Daisy around most of the time. Everybody makes such a fuss over her but I'm cuter. I get into everything and I try to get Daisy to go with me but she doesn't always go. She's smart because I'm always getting told NO MAXIMUS! I don't mean to be a bad boy I just love to look and be into everything. I love snuggle time at night with Mommy on the couch. She rubs my head till I fall asleep. I love mommy. Go to run and play with Daisy. Arooooooooooooo!

I'm getting big.

My mommy keeps telling me I'm such a big boy. I'm not quite 5 months old and I weigh 30 lbs. Is that big? Mommy keeps throwing this big fuzzy round thing and says "GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY!" and she smiles and claps when I bring it back to her. I'll keep doing it if it makes her that happy. It's really easy to make mommy happy. I always sit and come when mommy and daddy tell me to do it. The bath thing isn't too bad. I come out smelling pretty good. Then mommy rubs with this big soft fuzzy looking thing I like that very much. My days are good I eat, sleep, and get lots of lovin. I'm a lucky little man!

My Tail of Devotion for Maximus

My sweet little Maximus,

You have brought so much joy and love to my life. I can not wait till I get home from work everyday so I can play with you and love you. You always seem to know when I need a kiss or a wag of your tail. You demand my attention when you have something important to say. You always have something important to say (arooooo). You are the best gift that Daddy has ever given me. Those big brown eyes, glorious long ears, and that cute expression you give me always get you what you want and you know it. I will promise to give you food, water, shelter and all the love in my heart. I love you my little man.


Love, Mommy

my new home

My new mommy, daddy, and sister brought me home on March 25, 2006. They picked me out of my 5 brothers that were left out of 11. I looked up and my daddy picked me up and I gave him a kiss. I got to ride in car and I didn't like it too much I cried the whole time. When I got to my new house everything looked so big and scarry but mommy, daddy and sister made me feel OK. I played with all my new toys. Yeah! I was really scared at night in my crate I cried alot. Mommy got up and took me outside to do potties. She let me snuggle a whole bunch too. I got lots of sleep time in. I love my new home.
