Max is hitting Puberty

I know, we all have an idea of what service dogs are like...well trained, good manners, super dog:). Well, they are all of that but they also start out, just like every other dog, as a puppy. Puppies hit their teenage phase somewhere between 6-9 months old. Just like your two legged teenagers, sometimes you just want to lock em up and throw away the key. Max William is heading into his teenager phase. Thankfully, due to his fabulous trainer getting me in gear, he's easily handled but that doesn't mean he's going to stay out of trouble all the time. He is after all, a pubescent boy looking for fun. For some reason, Max feels he has to drag all his blankets out of his kennel every morning and scatter them around the family room (aka Max's room). He is also as bad as my girls at leaving his toys scattered about as well. This morning, somehow, he managed to get a roll of paper towels off the kitchen counter and then proceeded to TP his room. Yep, he's definitely all boy. Now he owes me $1.86 for that new roll of paper towels...he'd better be finding a way to earn a little money to pay Mom back;)
