Crying woof...and all of that

Max is shall we say... excitable?
While we all agree that yellow cat, joggers, the ever annoying BBD threat [BIG BLACK DOGS] is fair barking at material, nobody in their right mind would and should bark at the squirrels, birds and frogs.  I mean... we would be at that job 24/7/365.... Have you seen our yard??? Who wants to work THAT hard?  Not me.

IT was decided a long time ago, by the three of us resident dogs [JD- The Wendy- and I ] that we should adopt a laissez faire attitude when it comes to the aforementioned. UNLESS directly confronted with them in our own back yard. And the squirrels, birds and frogs agreed to those terms and as a matter of reference we call that agreement The 2010 mutual tolerance treaty.

MAX DID NOT GET THAT MEMO.  Apparently.
Nor does that boy accept that such a treaty actually exists.  So as you see, here he is barking his little head off at?????

And here at the rest of us... IGNORING him.


I asked JD what he was going to do, he said..."I am going to sit and dictate breakfast service. let him bark"
I tried to tell him to knock it off. But he would not listen. So, I gave up. 

And here is the Wendy's reaction. Her reaction was "Wake me when the breakfast is ready".

Max, booobie, here is some cheap advice. PICK YOUR BATTLES.  Life is short. Chill. Oh Max, loooook  CAT! Hahahahahaha, sorry I could not resist that.  Meow.....Hahahahaha.

Sepia Saturday: Senior??? Max shows us what 9 years old looks like







That whirlwind of white fluff taking over the yard at zooming speeds for endless hours is ... a "SENIOR" dog.

Yup.  He is nine years old. Max is a happy, healthy, active nine year old Bichon.

Some hoomans would not have wanted to adopt him because they think "senior dogs" have no "umph" left in them, I am just going to say it. THAT IS A stupid assumption.

Before you write off  ALL "senior dogs' ask: "Is this four legged healthy, happy and active?"

Ehmmmmm........Can you say that about YOURSELF?

I think the way you should view any adoption is with some brutal honesty.... " CAN I KEEP UP WITH THIS DOG?" " Can I give this dog what he or she needs?"

After all, a formula one puppy that is in perpetual motion may not be the ideal match for the mini van or model-T person you are. I am just saying... Yes, I said brutal honesty... A new puppy is not an "injection of life..." that is a vampire view. It does not work, unless you are soul less. Are you?
Quick, look in the mirror, Do you see your reflection?

I am just trying to prevent bad matches and surrenders...

And by the way, does Max have the most magnificent tail or what!?

And to my friend Tony C. who just adopted KoKo, a "senior" Bichon. Kisses to both of you.  A match made in heaven, I just know Gracie guided it from up above. Much love to both of you. CONGRATS!
