Although I've spent lots of time with Max at my Mom's house, I never realized how different the world is when you live in a city with a dog. In just one week I've gotten into more random conversations than in a year of living here sans Max. These people include:
- several eight-year-old kids
- a woman who is my education representative in DC, who coaches soccer and who is trying to get a new turf soccer field put in by my house
- a little old Russian lady who just moved to the US and is looking for a place to live
- lots of fancy pants Georgetown women at the dog park in the morning
- lots of young hip couples having cocktails at the dog park in the afternoon
- some basketball playing teenagers who told me I had a "sick" dog (Maman - don't worry, that's a compliment...)
- and the list goes on...
This is Max extremely annoyed that, after waiting at least 20 minutes for me to get ready to go to the dog park, we came back to the apartment to get the camera...
Looking for playmates at the park. He eventually found lots of doggies.
Napping while I study
Checking on me to see how the flash cards are coming. Today I was working on my flash cards for trusts and Max was relieved to learn that anyone can create a trust for a pet so if you want to leave your pet lots of money but don't trust him/her to spend it wisely, you can leave it with a trustee to manage it for them (yes, that's really true)!

Oh my GOD! I love Max!!!!! :) He is Sooooo cute. I really like your description too of what you've been doing together. He actually does look a little annoyed in that picture ;).
I experience the same thing (people stopping to talk) with Cha cha. Everyone loves to ask what kind of dog he is and admire how cute he is!
Dogs are great!! Almost as good as cats but way better on a leash!

Max must be very well-behaved dog to allow you to study like that. He's very pretty, too.
Thanks for all the compliments! Max is a great dog but I'm totally biased.
et bien je dirai juste que tu est folle de ton chien!!!!!mais qu'il le vaut bien
