On Friday Max turned 4! The first two pictures are from a few weeks after we got him 4 years ago. He was such a little ball of fluff back then. My moms two dogs had a few litters and after the passing up a puppy the first time around I just had to have one. At the time Ed and I did not live together but were engaged. I lived in an apartment that didn't allow dogs so I had to beg and plead with Ed for weeks to get Max and then for Ed to keep Max at his place for the next 3 months until we were planning on moving in together. And let me tell you.. it really took some pleading. Ed wanted no part of a little dog messing all over his bachelor pad!!! Finally he gave in and I went to my moms house to try to decide which of the 4 puppies I wanted to take home. As soon as I sat down on the floor next tot he puppies Max immediately ran over to me and I knew he was the one for me!
I have NEVER in my life loved an animal as much as Max! He was great for the girls and even though Ed completely hated him in the beginning, they are the best of friends now! I often remind Ed that HE didn't want a dog! LOL
I know I'm a little bias but isn;t he just the cutest thing you have ever seen?!!?!
We celebrated his birthday with a doggie peanut butter cookie and a meat stick.. He loved it. As you can see he was very excited for Marissa to give him a piece of the cookie!
I know the cookie was a New Years theme, but the birthday one was HUGE and way to much for such a little dog to eat!
Now if I could just get Max to love Jillian as much as he does the rest of the family we would be set. He is not a fan of her. Any suggestions on getting him to like her are welcomed!!

He is so precious!
I just got a Gold Ribbon newsletetr that had helpful hints for children and dogs. I didn't read the article because we haven't had any issues with that but I'll scan it over for you and see if there is anything in there that may help you.
Hey! You know my dog and it took her awhile to accept Kirah. One thing that worked for us is that Kirah was put in charge of giving treats to Maggie (supervised of course). Since Maggie wanted her treats, she learned to warm up to Kirah rather quickly. Now they are best of friends. Actually, I think Maggie loves Kirah more than us now. I hope this helps. =)
Thanks guys ... Tracy if you read anything that may help please pass along the info.
Nicole, you would think since Jillian drops more than half of her food on the floor and Max gets to eat it that he would like her a lot more, but so far not the case. I will have to start trying the treats! Thanks!
