MUDDY, WET, WALK!!!

Amazing! I actually got my walk with Big Male and Little Female, I had a fantastic time, I dragged Big Male all around the town just like I do with Azzy, he keeps going on about how strong I am! He, he! That's why Azzy nicknamed me 'Mighty Max'. I have dragged her for miles and miles over the past five or six weeks.

I came home absolutely filthy as per usual, soaking wet belly (due to short legs) and covered in my favorite stuff Azzy calls mud! The best thing I enjoy is finding something really icky and stinky and rolling in it, he, he! Azzy keeps telling me she is going to give me a bath soon (when she can afford doggie shampoo coz she said human stuff is bad for my skin) don't know what a bath is but I bet it will be fun!

I have started getting really brave lately, this is MY house and I am going to guard it! When I bark, I sound as big as a Rottweiller, I have a really deep voice. The thing that gives it away, is if Azzy goes out the door without me, I howl like a baby!

Poor Azzy hasn't been anywhere without me in tow since I arrived, she said she is going to show me that if she goes out, she WILL come back, by leaving the house and standing in the garden where I can't see her for a few minutes then coming back in, she said she will do that as many times as needed, extending the time she is gone until I realise she hasn't deserted me completely and it's OK for her to go somewhere without me as she will be back and that I'm fine here on my own for a while.

I may just get a bit upset at this and destroy something in the house if she takes too long though!
Maybe a chair? maybe the sofa? It depends, there could be something else interesting that I find lying around, we'll just have to wait and see, won't we? Mwa, ha, harrrr!
Usually, it's Big Males trainers (sport/running shoes), serves him right really, Azzy is always telling him not to leave them where I can get hold of them!

Been having loads of wrestling matches with Little Female this past week as she is off school for Easter holidays so we have been playing together every day. If I growl at her, she just growls back, she knows I would never bite her, anyway, Azzy is always there watching to make sure she doesn't hurt me and I don't hurt her.
My favorite game with Little Female is 'hide and seek', she throws a ball down the lounge and into the kitchen then runs upstairs to hide, I go mad, barking and running after her, it's not too often she can make it to a hiding place before I catch her, she is always laughing too much to run fast enough!

I almost forgot, I have been taught to sit, stay, get down (that's Azzy's favorite coz as soon as she gets up to make a drink or anything, I pinch her seat!), fetch and leave, I'm a quick learner (could have a lot to do with the doggy choc buttons I get as a reward for getting it right I think).

Anyway, that's the latest news. Sloppy kisses and muddy pawprints to you all.

Love Max
