More of Max

So as of tomorrow it's been a week since I got Max~!  He is such an incredibly good dog, and I love him!  For his one week 'birthday', I decided to post some things that you might not know about Max just by looking at him.  I certainly hadn't known, and in the week at the house, he's grown and shown more personality than I saw at the Human Society. Here goes!

-He loves his bum scratched!  He'll come up to you to be pet, and then turn so that his bum is toward you and he'll look at you like, 'yeah, that's right, be my royal butt scratcher!'  haha it's cute :)

-He has a strong, clear bark.  It's a little lower, but there's no growl to it, and he'll only bark one, two, or at the most three times when someone knocks on the door. When I come home, or when Cole just walks in, he doesn't bark at all.  In some ways that's good, but if an intruder just walks on in or something, I'll want to know...  Hmmm.

-He gets SUPEREXCITED when I come home. WOW. !!

-When he's excited (when I come home), he'll prance around like a deer.  Since he doesn't have a tail (naturally bobbed), he has to find another way to get the wiggles out!  Adorable~  But then he'll try to run on the wood floor (not easy) and then pounce on the rug to turn around cuz he knows that the easiest way. haha

-He goes poopoo and pee in two corners of the yard. Kinda nice!  Occasionally he goes #1 on a different border, like the fence or the border around the dead tree.

-He doesn't really like being brushed.  He will hide his head in Cole's legs...  Whatever.  :b
-Also when he's excited when I come home, he'll kind of open his mouth and nip at me, or just put his mouth around my hand, but it's not really a bite. Kinda like Lady liked to do.  I'm trying to teach him not to do that though, because he tore a hole in my skirt! whoops... :b 

-He foofs! hahaha, just little foofs that don't stink every once in a while. Cute~

-He is REALLY afraid of cars.  It's probably because he's spend a lot of his life in the shelter..  Cole and I knew he shied away from them, but on tonight's walk, he cowered when a truck came our way. :(  It was sad.  And then for every car after that, he either tried to hide further in toward the houses, or hugged my legs.  Poor guy.

-Cole went to the bathroom, and came out to find Max like this:

Haha, guess he likes the couch!  But he'd never tried to get up before... and hasn't since then.  Apparently he was pretended to sleep, and be like, 'what? whatever.'  haha, funny guy.

-Max will watch the window in the parlor as I leave, awwww, and will pace back and forth after I leave, and before I come home.

-WHen he stretches, he does front first, then stretches out his back legs--but does it so far that his paws flip over and he looks like a seal.  it's so funny, and I am trying to get a picture of it!

-He still likes me more than Cole, even though Cole is here like ALL day and gives him more treats!

And that's all I can think of!  I'm sure I'll learn more as he gets even more comfortable and happy here :)

buhbye!
