Best Tricks:
"Look cute, Maxie!" (okay, so just about anydog can do this, but hey, it IS pretty cute)

Arrival Story:
We went to an agility trial with no intention of getting another dog. A breeder was there running a few dogs and socializing a litter of puppies. I'm not sure how many people believe in these, but it was an instant bond, and later that day we went to meet his parents and pick him up.

Bio:
Although he's a well-bred, purebred, Border Collie, Max has to be the stupidest dog I've ever met. Still, you can pet him for hours and I think his maxim must be Ignorance Is Bliss, because he is incrediably happy. Although he's terrible at it, he loves agility. We also recently found out what must be his "true" name: Zeus. I mentioned our neighbor's dog by that name, and Max came charging in. Several weeks later, he still responds better to Zeus than Max, though I don't think I had ever said it to him before that time!

Forums Motto:
Ignorance is bliss.

This has been a PAW-TASTIC week! Nothing too extraordinary's happened (except Annie coming home with some smelly bandage on her foot), but life is good. I get food, treats, pets, walks... what more could a guy want? I even said hi to a couple dogs without getting angry! My mom is so proud of that, maybe I'll keep doing it just to make her happy. She should have paw-tastic days, too.

I love being outside, especially when my mom is playing with me or we're going for a walk, but the humidity is pretty high even for me today. My mom has been brushing me twice a day to try to help me stay cool, but I'm still a black dog with a lot of fur! I can't even play Frisbee for more than five or ten mintues on days like today!

My mom is magic, though, not to brag! My feet were itchy and then painful because I had to chew them so much to stop the itch-itch, but now my mom gives me some peanut butter in the morning and it itch and pain is GONE! There's a bit of a cruch to the pb and sometimes I see something pink in it, but however my mom does it, I swear it's magic!

What's not so happy is that she says I have to go to the vet next week. She says I'm "not good with other dogs" (come one! that schnauzer down the street is just BEGGING to be snarled at!), and wants to "rule out medical causes." Uh-oh. I'm not quite sure what that means, but it certaintly sounds as though it will be classifed under the Not Fun category. Yikes!

Anyways, sorry there is not much to report on the Home Front here. Wags and kisses to all my pals - have a wonderful day, and keep cool!

 

Happy Woofday to Me!

Wow, I can't believe it - I'm three today!

For celebration, my mom took me to the Barkery and I got lots of extra-special treats and hugs, and I got to give loads of people kisses. My mom was really proud of me because I even ignored the dogs behind the counter (I usually, ahem, kinda, well, growl at them a little...). I got to pick out a new bone and we went home with lots of treats, which I'm sharing with Annie. I also got a longer walk than sometimes, and my mom says that this weekend I'll be getting a new toy. Oh boy! She also says she owes me another walk, because it's rainy here today and she doesn't want to be out if it starts thundering. I don't mind, but I don't want mom to be scared, so I guess we can go later.

Anyways, I'm really excited. Today is such a tasty day, and fun, too! Wags and licks to all my friends out there! =D
