Bath Time

Max and I were playing outside tonight. It was time for bath so I told Max we had to go in. He was immediately a little man with a plan! He ran under the deck, where he knows momma can't get him. I would go around to the other side and he would run away. It took 15 minutes, and lots of laughing, before I finally caught him. He just gets more and more fun every day.

Monkey Man - Post Op

Today was a tough day. We are dog sitting for Max's Grandma and Grandpa. Somehow Monkey Man ended up in the crate with Callie today. Needless to say he wasn't a pretty sight when we got home this afternoon. Max cried about Monkey Man's boo-boos. He kissed each rip with tender loving care.

When daddy got home he worked his magic. He is quite a surgeon - maybe he missed his calling. Monkey Man is now, more or less, back together. You might notice that his right arm is now shorter than his left and he looks as if he had lipo on his inner thigh. There wasn't too much daddy could do with the ear situation. Max was happy that Monkey Man was available for his usual night time snuggles.

On a side note, Monkey Man II has been ordered and should be shipped shortly.

Apple Picking

We met up with Brian's sister and her family today for some apple picking fun. Before we headed out on the tractor ride to the orchard we met up with a few hungry goats. Max loved feeding the goats. He didn't quite get the idea that he needed to open his hand, but he had fun none the less.

He also loved trying out the big slide with daddy. Max wouldn't have loved to slide again and again, but daddy didn't like how hot the slide was.

Then it was time to pick some apples! We boarded the tractor and headed out to the orchard. Max was so cute walking around with his apple picking bag.

It did get a bit hot as you can see by Max's flushed little pink cheeks. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with all of these apples!
