Max's Story

Kicked out of class!

I was in a training class at Petsmart with my new family. They didn't work with me at home like they should have, and it shows. I went to my class last Saturday with the mommy here, and the instructor got really impatient with me when I would not do a sit/stay. Everytime someone says stay to me, I go down! Mommy says it is okay, I don't need to be PERFECT, I just need to learn how to be calm. The instructor finally told Mommy that I needed to start over in another class and then she walked away!!

Mommy is still furious over this!! This was the one place that they were supposed to accept my personality and work with me! Yet even the dog class doesn't want me! Mommy says not to worry too much, she and Daddy love me here!

Rejected yet again!

Well, once again I thought I had for sure found my perfect forever home! I had a mommy, a daddy, and FIVE kids!! How much more perfect could life be?!?! The daddy loved me, and the kids ALL adored me!! It was the mommy though who thought I was horrible! I was blamed for everything that happened in the house while I was there!

My new mommy AND daddy were supposed to take me to a doggie training class, TOGETHER, for 8 weeks, but since the mommy didn't like me, she never even tried!

I am back here again, and frankly I LOVE it here! I know the mommy and daddy HERE BOTH love me and think I helped hang the moon and stars! I came back from my last home with some new aggression issues that we are working on...I accidentally bit a guy on Sunday, so I have to be muzzled until we can work through my issues. Mommy here blames it on the mommy in the last home, but there is no way to know exactly. I really don't like boy dogs now, except teh ones I know. Mommy here thinks it is because of the other dog at the last home, HE was treated like royalty while I was mistreated. I was not abused by anyone there, I just wasn't loved by the mommy, and we ALL know how important MOMMY love is!! I get here though!!

I am once again looking for a new home...I would love to stay HERE, but there is just no room for me to live here forever. I know I will always be welcomed and loved here, so....

90 pounds of untrained muscle

Mommy says that since I was not being properly trained in my other house, I have now got to go have proper training. She says since I have grown and put on weight in 2 months, 90 pounds of untrained dog is a whole lot different than 68 pounds of untrained dog!

I will be starting classes in the next week, and Mommy says it should be interesting if nothing else! She says she knows what a great dog I am, and she just thinks I need to be polished to let the real me shine through for others to see!!

I hope with all the polish that I will find a forever home soon!! It is crazy here in my foster home, even though I feel so loved!! I want to be the doggie center of some family's life, or at least only sharing it with 1 or 2 other dogs! BOL!!
