Max the stud

[lizzybennet]

I always take Max with me when I pick up the boys from school in the afternoon. Today I spent a little longer than usual because I had to talk to Petey's teacher about some issues. When I came out of the school, I saw a man standing next to the van taking pictures of Max with his cell phone. My first thought was "crap, that guys mad that I left my dog in a car with the windows rolled up." But nope. He was taking pictures because thought Max was so pretty ("like a zebra" were the words of his son.) He told me had two fawn colored girls at home. He then asked me if I'd had Max fixed yet or not. He said that I should give him a call if I decide to stud him out.

I hardly knew how to answer him. Of course I'm flattered, but the truth is that I don't really want to add to the dog over-population problem. I had planned on getting him fixed in April when he turns seven months old. However, being as we are constantly broke, the idea of stud fees ($600 plus) did make dollar signs dance before my eyes. No! I won't sell out on my convictions! Even if I do know Max would make beautiful babies :)

What beautiful faces!

I know I say this every time, but I just can't help myself. Every time you post new pictures of Max, the more I fall in love with him. Honestly, his coat is so gorgeous. We see a lot of fawn coated pugs in our complex, but Max is the most handsome of them all. I think it's because he's unique. Hopefully, when you move to Georgia, I'll get to see him for real.
