Meet the Fuzzies

Given that I am prone to talking about my dogs incessantly, I thought I would take the next couple posts to introduce you to my 3 furbabies. I will start with Max, our puppy. Not because he is so cute I want to snorgle his tummy all day but because he is currently sitting in my lap, farting with reckless abandon.

Anywho, Max is going to be 16 weeks on Sunday and he is a Sheltie. He is the second Sheltie in the household, which means that I have no concept of peace and quiet. In several months, I am sure that I will also have no concept of clean carpeting. But, look at this face. He really is as sweet as he looks. Probably even sweeter. I am so in love with him.Max's quirks (so far): He chirps when he runs down the steps chasing Maggie, our other Sheltie. At first I thought he was crying because she was running too fast and he couldn't keep up but, nope, he just just likes to chirp.

Oh, but he is a little ninny, drama queen: Last weekend at the dog park, a 2 pound Yorkie snarled at him and he ran away crying. He was 10 yards away, looking at the Yorkie and all the 2 pounds of rage that she was, still crying. That's my boy!

I work from a home office and spoil the living crap out of Mr. Maxie by giving him daily nap times in my lap. He also helps me with my filing. I tell him where to put the paperwork, but he makes his own executive decisions and proceeds to chew up the paperwork. Who am I to question his judgement?

After he finishes making a mockery of the office floor, he comes back for more lap time. He enjoys chewing on my desk. And I let him. Because it is less messy than paper bits.
Jaw workouts can be pretty intense, though. He finds the need to squeeze in more nap-in-the-lap time most afternoons after completing his desk chews. He usually stretches to find a comfortable position. Sometimes paws end up in the strangest of places.

I stick my nose in these little popcorn-paws at least 8 times a day. Don't you wish you could snorgle these little paws, too?

(Don't I wish I could crop out the raging mess in the background?)
