   Hi - Our Dog Max is the best! We'll let him tell you his story.

    My name is Max (fullname - Maximus Poochimus). My parents rescued me from the local animal shelter. Mom thinks I'm a boxer/pug mix, but I'll never tell. I think she likes the mystery. I was very skinny and very shy when I first came home, but now I'm a social butterfly.

    I have a very busy life. I am in charge of keeping the yard free from marauding bunnies and squirrels. It takes up most of my day. Then, my mom insists I walk almost every day. I don't have to walk when the temperature is below 20 degrees. I look ridiculous in the coat and slippers mom made me, so I refuse to go outside. I know every other dog in the neighborhood would ridicule me mercilessly.

    I'm very happy living with my mom and dad. They take me everywhere with them. Once they took me to Mount Rushmore with my best friend Taos (she's a pretty American Eskimo). They made me sit on a wall in just the right position so they could get a picture. Everyone thinks Mom used Photoshop to doctor the picture. But I'm here to tell you, it was an event to make us sit in just the right spot to get the picture.

    Anyways - I'm very spunky in the morning and I refuse to let my parents sleep in. And by the end of the day, I'm exhausted. Mom and dad let me sleep on top of them even though I'm a whopping 36 pounds now. I can't imagine living anywhere else. I'm spoiled and my life is great! (My parents tell me that all the time.)
