Max, the Dog of the Day
Name: Max
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu, Poodle mix
Home: Ashland, Illinois, USA
 
   This is Maxwell a.k.a. 'Maximium Energy' or Max, he is a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix. Max was given to us by dear friends who got him from their relative who could no longer keep him due to house rules. Our friend who was a recent amputee and didn't feel well enough to care for him, told me about him at church. She wondered what she was going to do with him. I said I want him sight unseen. All this and he was only six weeks old. But it was my lucky day. I brought him home the same day and he settled right in.

    Max is probably the smartest dog that we have ever owned. If he gets his leash tangled in the bushes, he can untangle himself. He is more than a little spoiled. Every week when I go shopping there better be something in the bag for him, and of course there always is. He loves to talk to Grandma on the phone.

    Max is the light and love of our life. He does something every day to make us smile. He loves us unconditionally and we love him just the same. I'm just glad I didn't play hooky from church that day. He is such a blessing to us.
