I have always described my dog Max as completely ordinary, but once I began my observation I realized that he is totally unordinary; he's CRAZY! At the beginning of this assignment I described my white Maltese poodle as "lazy" and "boring" to my fellow classmates, which is not completely untrue but there is so much more to his personality. I always seem to be searching all over the house for Max. Sometimes I find him easily if i just listen for his dog tags jingling as he runs up and down the hall way.
My days with Max begin pretty similarly every morning when I return from getting ready for school, I always find Max bundled up on my bed, blending into my sheets. I proceed to take him outside before I leave for the day; I watch as he stares out into the street trying to figure out what ever little noise is, he stares blankly into thin air, and finally after a couple of minutes he begins to sniff around curious to find a spot on the yard that he has not peed on. Max comes back inside and sniffs around the table trying to guess what I am having for breakfast, he seems very curious to try everything he can get his paws on, even if he's never liked it before. When I arrive home Max is always the first to greet me at the door, he jumps up on his hind legs and licks the bottom of my pants, I pet him for a while athen try and get past the door, but he just cant get enough. Finally when he is done playing, he makes this strange sound whenever he gets too excited, he stands firmly and makes this really loud noise, as though he were congested, the very first time I heard it I believed he was dying but after a couple of weeks it just started to annoy me. Max loves to watch romantic comedies with me, its our thing! but Max gets easily distracted for there are a couple of bugs buzzing around, I watch intrigued as Max follows a moth with his eyes, he snaps forward in a flash attempting to eat the moth but failed, he doesn't give up though, Max snaps forward again only catching the tip of the wing. I watched as the moth fell to thefloor and quickly showed Max his accomplishment, so that he could finish it off, but Max simply smells the moth and looks away and continues to watch TV as if no big deal. Although I have been observing my dog for a while, everyday is a new adventure. Max never fails to surprise me.
