Meet Max...
Max is our five year old, registered, blue Chihuahua. They're called blue when they're marked like he is but really he's black, tan and has a little white on his chest and feet. We adopted Max from the animal shelter. He had been brought in when he was about 7 months old. Someone had gotten him and decided that they didn't want him because he wet all over the place. Well, what do all puppies do? They have to be housebroken and apparently, this person didn't know enough about dogs to know how to housebreak him. Anyway, we got Max and immediately he became a member of our family. Sometimes I even feel like he's my little brother! He follows me everywhere! Max is so funny. We really love him a lot. We dress him up in cute little outfits and take his picture. Here he is in a little sweather that my Mom crocheted for him. We've also put him in a fireman outfit, in an Easter basket, dressed him as a reindeer for Christmas and even put a Hawaiian lei on him. He doesn't seem to mind, in fact, I think he likes it. Some chihuahuas aren't very friendly, but Max is very easy going and would probably lick you to death if he met you. It's really funny when Max and our cat Cleo get together and play. They're like best friends. You should see them! They chase each other around the house and have the best fun. Here's a picture of Cleo. We got Cleo from a friend of my sister's. She had had Cleo for several years and then when she had a little boy, the little boy was allergic to Cleo so they had to get rid of her. Max and Cleo are so loving. They always want to be on someone's lap. I hope you enjoy meeting my pets...they're lots of company for me. Isn't it great how much love animals give us and how they give it unconditionally? They teach us a lot about the love of Christ...he loves us unconditionally too.
