This was forwarded to me and I thought it quite cute. Not sure which dog I thought was cuter. I can't imagine my dog sitting long enough to accomplish something like this.
Haven't seen any photos of little Max lately either H!

He is back home again with his Mum & Dad
He was with us for about 6 weeks while he recovered from being poorly, he had sudenly developed a severe droop to his left ear and he held his head at an angle. This upset our Grandson who said to his Dad, "I think Max should go and stay with Granddad because he will make him better" so he duly arrived for another holiday with us.
At first I thought that he had had some sort of stroke or some other thing that had paralysed his face on one side, maybe even a form of Bells Palsy that humans can get. The vet decided it was some form of ear infection caused by a small growth within the ear and he prescribed anti biotics, steroids and ear drops which seem to have done the trick. He has not fully recovered from the ear and facial droop, but it is improving a little each day, by the time he went home it was almost back to normal. The only down side as far a s Max is concerned is that he is now on a diet as his Nana had built him up with chicken dinners and sausages to keep his strength up. He will be on a small steroid dose over the next three months and that will hopefully sort him out in the longer term.
Here he is showing his disgust at finding a fence erected across one of his favourite woodland walks.

Thanks Kiya, last nights report was that he was lying on his back having his belly rubbed, his favourite pass time.

Ohh gee I didn't know Max was doing poorly. I sure hope he gets better fast. The regimin they have him one sounds interesting but glad to hear he is doing better and on the mend.
I'm seriously considering a 'Max' once poor old Friday goes to his final dog house in the sky. Friday is doing well and going strong but the face is getting whiter by the day and he is getting well up into the double digits.
