max

my dog max is siting here whimpering for a bite of my spaghetti. he's half shihzhu and half poodle, so he cant have just anything, it'll make him sick. he's black with a white tummy and a bit of white on the front of his paws, and a white spot on the back of his neck. he's only about 12 pounds, and is the size of a shihzhu, so that should give you all an idea of how little he is. he looks, color wise, a bit like a penguin. i love him. he's my little buddy. he's 4 years old tomorrow, and if i could, i would throw him a birthday party. lol. i know that's odd, but he's like another kid in my family. he just doesnt get in as much trouble as the rest of us do. he even can kinda "back-talk" my mom. sometimes, if she's nagging about something about one of us, or something he did, he'll do a soft growl, not like he'll bite her or anything, but enough to let her know that he's not happy with her. he's got two best friends, who live two houses down. their names are Sugar and Brownie. Sugar is black and white and is half shihzhu and half maltese and weighs about 8 pounds. her little brother brownie is actually bigger than her, weighing in at 12 pounds, and is brown and white. he's 1/4 shihzhu and 3/4 maltese. they are both really sweet dogs and love to play with max. it's fun walking them with their owner, Mike, who's in his early 50s. he's really nice, and jokes around a lot with me and my little brother. they're just fun to be around.
