Maximus, (otherwise known as Maxie-pants) a Standard Poodle, is my dad’s dog. Max has an awesome haircut—a mohawk that extends to his tail (we’re dying it purple for Halloween). He’s a giant compared to my sweet mini-Standard Poodle, Fiji.

The funniest thing was how he ate two entire hammocks to save us from being hurt by them. On a bright and sunny day I walked into the hammock.  I almost fell! Max saw this and decided that he must act, so within one hour there was a gaping hole in the hammock. Dad almost had a conniption, so he decided that he must go into the hot tub. While walking to the hot tub he tripped over a small stone and fell onto the hot tub, luckily Max wasn’t watching which is why we don’t have a hole in the hot tub.

Max, as protective as always, saw the mailman holding a package. He wasn’t sure what was in it, so he waited patiently for the mailman to walk past the electric fence line so he could take the package while Fiji licked him to death. Unluckily, the mailman didn’t let Max have the package.

Max bit him and the mailman yelped like a surprised baby and let go of the package. Max ran to tear open the package—inside it he found two pairs of white lacy underpants!  Poor Mom and mail man, all that for lacy undies?

Another funny Maxie-Pants story is how he tried to save us from the evil turkeys. Maxie knows that the turkeys are very annoying, so one day he decided that he might try to hunt them. Max patiently waited for a turkey to fly out of the pen—it took a lot of patience to wait, so in his spare time Maxie sat. When the first turkey flew out, Maxie neatly killed it. Mom was furious, but even that doesn’t describe how angry she was. Max on the other hand, looked very proud because he saved us from the annoying turkeys.

Peace to ya,
