Max...

OK, it is time to have a fact list about dogs. Most people, if they are "real americans", have had a dog in their life at sometime or another.

Here are a few items that people already know.
A dog is "mans/womans" best friend
All dogs go to heaven
Dogs are very loyal

But, here are a few new fact list items that include the dogs currently in our lives. These are:
Baxter (the Deez), the elder statesman/woman and formerly odiferous one
EV, the young attack husky
Mister Max, the one that wants your attention all the time

The fact list items are:
-You want a dog with spirit
(even though some of them cower like a frenchman during a thunderstorm)
-With spirit, a dog would come to your assistance at anytime for your safety
(unlike a cat that would hide under a bed or go get something to eat or completely ignore you or act like you are bothering them)
-A dog keeps watch over you at all times
(of couse, this includes barking at anything that even comes close to you or your house like a jogger, a car passing by or even a random squirrel)
-A dog is not subtle and communicates almost exclusively by action.
(once you can interpret what they want, this makes your life a little easier)
-A dog teaches you about life cycles
-Dogs can talk if you listen carefully enough
(this usually centers around food or just being happy)
