My Pretty Little Pet
It is with much joy that I introduce the newest member of my household: Max! Max is a 4 year old purebred cocker spaniel that Kathleen and I have adopted from Kathleen’s Aunt’s neighbor in Queens.
Today we drove up to north Jersey to meet up with said Aunt for the “handoff.” Max behaved tremendously well the whole ride home, sitting politely in his crate. He didn’t bark once during the entire ride. Then once we got home he took to exploring the house. He’s well behaved (though a little rambunctious), knows how to sit and give a paw (needs some work on “heel”), and he and I got a pretty good game of fetch in, too. I’m looking forward to many years of great stories to tell about his antics. So far the best one is that, for some reason, mine is the only leg this neutered dog wants to hump! Needless to say, this cracked Kathleen up plenty. But when I had to yell at him to stop, Kathleen swears she saw a look of shame on his face.
We also think in his current state he looks like he should be in College. With his shaggy hair and his t-shirt, he looks like he’s used to hanging out in his dorm room and listening to the Dead. More pictures when we get him cleaned up.
