Play time with Max

Max is such a great little dog. I have always had big dogs, so this is an entirely new experience for me. Max is cuddly, small, playful, loving, curious, funny and has a huge personality. He does not like being disciplined and will pout. He turns his head and tears will stream down his face. He smiles. Yes, completely and entirely. If he is happy, he will smile from ear to ear. The puppy is a bouncing machine. He can jump on my high bed, he can leap from couch to couch, he walks along the back of the couch like a cat, he is full of energy. He loves to play ball, get his toy and fetch. He absolutely loves bones and baby carrots are his favorite snack or treat even above bacon.

Max is like a baby. He gets rocked to sleep. He cuddles. He will come get me and then go to my bedroom door when it is nap time. He knows we sleep right after lunch and boy when he gets tired does he let me know. He wants his momma to lay down with him to take a nap.

Max loves to play. He loves to swing with Hayden. He loves to get Hayden when he is under the blanket. He loves to play fetch. He loves to find his toys around my back or under the blanket with Hayden.

Max has to sleep cuddled into one of the three of us. He moves many times during the night to make sure he gets sufficient cuddles in with each of us.

Hayden is training Max. They are working on sitting, lay down and most importantly, go potty outside. He has learned that potty outside equals a small piece of puppy bacon. It is a training period for Hayden too, to understand what Max wants and is asking for. Hayden wants to teach Max to dance and do all types of jumping through hoops. Max isn't so sure of Hayden's request right now.

Max does love playing ball with Hayden and loves his light up ball. He chases it through the house. We laugh when he is done, he will hide the ball behind the couch saying that he is all done but wants to end up victorious. Funny dog.

Hayden spends endless hours playing with Max. I love that I have a napping buddy. I love holding a little buddy on my lap and cuddling with him. He is therapeutic for both me and Hayden. Thomas is great with him because he is fairly little work for Thomas, as most of the responsibility for feeding, watering, dog poop, going outside and cleaning up after Max is Hayden's responsibility. So far, so good. Hayden doesn't complain but willingly and happily takes care of his dog.

Yes, we are in love with our little Maxi poo over here. He has quickly warmed his way into our hearts. We consider him a vital and wonderful part of our family. We cannot get enough of him or his cute little personality. We love you, Max!
