A Month of Max

It's amazing to think that Maximillian Sydney Bruiser McEllis has been with us for 4 weeks and a day now. Time flies when your life is taken over by a cute, naughty little puppy!!!

Max is definitely growing!

Yesterday Max had another 'adventure' at the vet, however I don't think Max would have called it that....!!! It was Max's last puppy jab which went well, but then Dad No. 1 decided to get him micro-chipped AND get his Rabies jab ready for his passport....so the poor dog was 'stabbed' three times, and to make matters worse he had his glands cleared out which meant a vet's lubricated finger was unceremoniously poked up his little bottom...to say he came home shell-shocked is an understatement (the dog, not Dad No. 1!!!)

Puppy Tooth!

Max's teeth are growing almost as fast as he is (he was 2kg two weeks ago and he's now just over 3kg!!!) and this morning Dad No. 1 found this little tooth in one of his toys....the puppy is growing up so quickly *sigh*......Now that Max has had his final puppy jab he can go out on the lead from next Saturday and that is very exciting. He's been on his lead with us up the allotment as you saw from the pictures last week, but to be able to take him on a proper walk will be great, at least then he can get rid of some of his unending energy!!!!!

Max and Dad No. 1 have a cuddle

Max's interaction with The Girls goes from strength to strength and he's absolutely fine with them. Yes, he gets a little overexcited but not once has he even tried to harm them. They, on the other hand, are not the least bit interested in him and Harriet positively ignores him, she's not bothered by him at all....probably because she is actually bigger than him!

The dog flap still needs work as Max still hasn't realised that if he just pushes it he will be able to get out. When he needs to go to the toilet he is very good and stands on his hind legs trying to push the back door open, but sadly not on the flap.....he'll get there.....I think!

Spring time Max

Well that's it for this week.....Max and me are on our way to the allotment to see how Dad No. 1 is getting on with his broad beans....more adventures to come!
