After my little drama on the way to visit my friend in Rock Hill, SC ( see post "Rambling to Rock Hill....") , I actually ended up having a wonderful visit with my friend. Max, her little poodle was happy to see me, and even posed for pictures. He is such a ham. Max is a story unto himself. This little guy watches TV. No kidding, he really does. Whenever he sees certain newscasters, or TV programs, he sits at attention while they speak. When they leave, he leaves. He always keeps an ear to what is happening, and will ever so often go to the TV and stand up with his paws on the screen. He is a very well-informed dog. However, the most unusual thing is what he does when an animal, any animal or fowl, comes on the screen. He begins barking hysterically and tries to chase them across the screen. While I was there, a program showed a herd of kangaroos running across the outback of Australia. I thought Max would have a stroke. He barked nonstop until they left the screen, and looked worn out from his efforts to "protect" us from these galloping invaders.
Max is also a very neat dog. He always arranges his bed covers before lying down, and makes sure that all his toys are in the exact place he wants them before settling in for the night. My friend says that he spreads out his blanket in front of the sofa each day while she is at work, and that one day he even turned on the TV using the remote. Unfortunately, he could only get the sound on, so when she came home, she thought she had intruders because she could hear voices in the house. Max...you bad boy!
