A tail tale, now with photo!

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2007 3:58 pm

The air was still and cold on the moonless night as my son drove himself and me through the blackness. Down winding back roads, past yellow-windowed homes to a dim parking lot, where only every second lamppost was illuminated, to save energy I suppose. And there in the quiet, a little red car. And in the little red car, a puppy. Found wandering alone and scared weeks before, no tags, no luck finding it's home. With stubby little legs and a long whip-like tail, in need of a good bathing and brushing (he'd been playing in the yard). We were just going to look, just to see. I saw the look on my son's face. That was enough. Will his long hair become a pain to keep brushed? Probably. Accidents on the carpet? Twice already. Upset my kitty? Most definitely. Welcome home, Max. When I find my camera, you will be an internet star.
OK, enough theatrical descriptions, here's Maximus Decimus Aureleas

'scuse the glowing eyes, DH offered to photoshop them out but DS is hovering around wanting to chat with babes online so I must rush

Max is the most gorgeous doggie ever! Aren't you just thrilled he found you?

thanks :) Yep, he was found several weeks ago, just moseying down the road, noone stepped up to claim him. I'm glad he found me too!
Guess you can't tell from the pic, but he's only about mid-calf high, light enough that I can actually lift him into the tub, woohoo!
