Have harness, will travel

Max had his final puppy jab last week as you are all already aware, and so yesterday was the first day of him being allowed out on the lead, and what a day! We've already got a collar and a lead for him, in fact we have two collars but his little neck is so small that only ones fits him properly AND it has his camouflage hanky on it which isn't befitting a little dog when out walking! I took him out for the first time on his collar and lead and.......Max hated it....it was not a positive experience for either of us.....(Max and me are now having strict training from Dad No. 1)...

He was not a happy puppy and really disliked it. We were going to get him a harness but hadn't got round to getting one, however there is a pet shop just round the corner from us, so we took Max over there and Dad No. 1 bought him a lovely black harness which he has absolutely no problem with, he's a natural when he's in it, not a single issue, a changed puppy!!! 

Max struts his stuff in his harness

The "mad as a hatter" pet shop lady took a shine to him and Max walked out with a complimentary dog chew......milk it Max, milk it!!!

As well as going out to get his new harness, Max has been up the allotment and over to the cemetery for walks and lots of playing. Today, in the space of about 30 seconds Max built up a fan base of half a dozen people up the allotment who are all besotted with him, he knows how to turn on the charm this one (a bit like Dad No. 1!!!)...he's going to become something of a regular (and I hope a Celebrity!!!) at the allotment and I'm sure he will cultivate his fan base accordingly.

The Broodies!!!!!!

Max hasn't had any interaction with the Girls this week as they are ALL broody!!!!! All 3 hens have decided they want to be Mums.....as you can see, being broody is a family affair and yes, Stella is ON TOP of Harriet!!!!

Daddy, I does feel shleepy I does......

Max is off to Cornwall with us next week for the Easter weekend, so no doubt (as is always the case when we visit the God Kids), it's going to be full of adventures for him and us....Max at the seaside is a VERY exciting prospect!!!! 

This also means that Max's Marvellous Adventures will be offline for 10 days or so.....

See you soon Folks!
