Your Pet...by Luce

Whats your pets name/names? His name is Maximus the Great but we call him Max or Maxie
How old? He is 14 years old
Where do they sleep? On a pillow and blanket next to my bed
What is his or her breed? He is a pure-bred Cocker Spaniel
Any special tricks/talent? He can sleep an entire day and still be tired. Oh at 14 years old he learned to use a doggy door when my dad put it it! You can teach an old dog new tricks!! Plus he can sit, shake hands, roll over
What do you think your pet was in a previous life? A sloth....because they sleep a lot or actually a human because he eats human food and wants to chill with humans not other animals....especially not moca the excitable sausage dog.

Luce is right, Moca and Maxie have a love hate relationship. Moca knows that max isn't all that fast, can't hear and can't see, so he sneaks up behind him and nibbles at his legs to play. I think that deep down Max enjoys it a lot. His tail never stops wagging!!
