I'M OK!

Mum and Little Female don't live here any more, they left back in 2010.
I'm sad they went but I still have Big Male, I call him Dad now.
We have lots of play fights, I always win!
Sometimes Dad has ended up with bite marks and scratches but I'm only playing, he started it!!!
It's just that being such a Big Male he plays quite rough, so, I do too!

I do get to see Little Female now and again when she comes to see Dad, and, the odd time when Dad walks me to their flat to pick up Little Female, I get to see Mum, but it's not that often.

I still get up to my naughty tricks, Little Female tells Mum all about it after her visits.

The latest one Little Female told Mum about was a good un, well I enjoyed it (he, he).

Dad had left a big pack of frozen mince on the kitchen window ledge to defrost for his evening meal.

Well, I just couldn't resist!........What's a hungry little lad to do?

I sat for a while working out how I could get up to the ledge when I noticed Dad had left a chair in the kitchen.
Hmmmmmmm! Mwa, ha, haaar!.
I'm pretty good at jumping so thought I'd give it a try.
Up onto the chair, then from the chair I jumped as high as I could (bit tricky, almost landed in the kitchen sink!).

PHEW! MADE IT!!!

It was a bit hard going what with it still being frozen but I have good strong teeth.
I devoured the whole thing, frozen mince complete with plastic tray and wrapping!

YUM! WHAT A FEAST!

Dad wasn't too happy when he returned home that evening, he shouted words I hadn't heard before (I think they might have been naughty words?).

Don't know what he got so upset about, he didn't need open any dog food that night and he ended up enjoying a nice takeaway!

That's all for now folks......BURP!

I'll try to keep you updated on any other of my little exploits when I can.

Cold slobbery kisses

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

My name is Max (Mad Max the Mighty Mutt) although Azzitizz my owner calls me lots of other things! My blog is all about me and my exploits and if you have noticed, is the colour of mud as that it what I am usually covered in, as is the furniture and humans of my new home.
I am only eight months old and Azzy and her family rescued me from Manchester Dogs Home where I lived for a few months in a cramped little concreted room with just a viewing window for the humans to look through, I shared this room with two much bigger dogs who used to fight and bark all the time, I didn't like it. I think my original owner got a new job and had to move away so they had to leave me behind, I was sad that nobody wanted me. I couldn't understand why, as I am such a good little lad (and of course sooooo handsome!).

I would watch the humans every day as they came round looking at us all and hoped each time it would be me. I'd jump about, wagging my tail and barking "Hello" as did all the others. I used to bark out "Give me a chance, I'll be really good!" but they would just look at me then carry on walking.
Then one day about three weeks ago, three humans stopped at my window, there were two big ones, a male and a female and a smaller female one, at first I didn't get too excited as I thought they would walk away like all the others, or that they were looking at the other two in there with me, but then I noticed the little one pointing........pointing right at me!
Next thing I knew, the human from the home put a rope round my neck and took me out to meet them, I didn't want to get my hopes up but couldn't help myself from jumping all over them and kissing them, they were smiling and laughing, then the female human said "Okey, kokey, we'll take him". Did she mean it? Really? They want me? Whoooohooooo!

They bought me a new collar, lead, name tag, food bowls, food, chewy sticks and a couple of squeaky toys then we got into something they called 'a taxi', I sat nice and quiet on the older female's knee to show her how good I could be and just watched out the window. Inside I was both excited and scared because I didn't know where I was going, but it HAD to be better than the Dog's Home. We travelled for quite a long time until we arrived at a house, the older female told me this was my new home. They do! They really do want me! They opened the door and let me run all round, up and down the stairs, in and out of every room, having a real good sniff about, I have to admit at this point, I peed and pooed on the carpet in one of their bedrooms (think I got a bit too excited!).
I cowered waiting to be hit, I knew what I had done was wrong........but the female just said "Aw! What have you done you naughty little thing!" and then she cleaned it up. She took my poo outside and put it on grass in the back garden and said "Good Boy!" (Oh, that's where I'm supposed to do it!) Wow, I didn't know there was a garden! Guess this is where I need to do it from now on.

Anyway, that's it for now, I HAVE A NEW HOME!.... I HAVE A NEW FAMILY!.... I AM LOVED!
I will be posting about all the silly, funny, everyday things I get up to, hope you enjoy reading about them.









Love Max.
One happy little lad.

ALL SETTLED IN!

Well, into my fourth week with my new family and I am loving it! I remember the people in the dog's home telling my new family that I only eat dried food, one cup in the morning and one at night.
Guess what?... Azzy didn't listen (Whooohoooo!) I'm eating things like chicken, pork, steak and mince, she only uses the dried food as snacks after we have been out for our long walks twice a day, it's fantastic!

I'm being really good but sometimes I get a little cheeky. I got a sharp tap on the nose this morning for chewing and ripping the bottom corner of the suite but Azzy only tapped and said "NO!", Now I know not to do that again. Guess I shouldn't keep taking all my toys in the garden and should leave some inside to play with.

Talking about the garden, it was very nice when I arrived, lots of plants and a green grassy lawn but now it seems to have turned into churned up muddy soil instead of grass, I have no idea how that happened? It couldn't be me charging round in circles, scratching and digging could it? Naw!
There is lots to play with in my garden, I found little female's 'hula hoop' that was great fun for a while although it is now little female's 'hula little bits of plastic all over the place' and I found an inner tube for big male's bike, that was great fun ripping into little teeny strips of rubber and loads of little flower pots to chew, I'm having a great time!
I pulled some lattice fencing down to chuck about, pinch stones from round the plants and throw them about and have removed the squirty gun bit from the end of the hose pipe, (that was great fun!) I keep taking rocks, stones, snails and bits of fencing in the house for Azzy but she just takes it off me and throws it back outside?????

We have great fun on our walks, I play with my best friend 'Tess' and get to meet all the other dogs in the area who, of course, are ALL my friends, as are any cats, birds and humans I meet along the way so I try to jump up and play with every one of them, sometimes they will play with me but some won't, Azzy seems to know which will play and allows me to approach them or let them to come to me.

I am being taught not to run into the road and to sit at the kerb until the road is clear and not to drag Azzy all over the place, but to walk at her side.
I'm a good lad and like her to be pleased with me so do as I am told for the most part, sometimes though I forget and she shouts "NO", I cower a bit at this as I am sorry but I know she won't hit me. I know I will get better and better as I learn more and I know we are one great big happy family, I love it here!

This is my signature on one of Azzy's chairs.

That's all for now, I'm due my second walk of the day to get little female from school.
Until next time.......Woof!
