The "Poo"....

Some time back I playfully nicknamed Maxy, "THE POO". You know like "The Fonz" from Happy Days. So now the entire family is accustomed to hearing that nickname and fondly refer to Max, on occasion, as "The Poo!" So..... you can imagine having him walk around with an attitude and a strut after being called, "The Poo". He really loves the attention.

Well today Max lived up to the name in every way. I had let the dogs out to go do what dogs do and decided to change into some more comfortable clothing. After getting one leg in the pj bottoms I hear Max barking, which in itself is unusual, and I see Jake's rear end running into the house. So I run to the door just in time to see our first bear of the season cutting into our neighbors yard desperately trying to avoid Max, "The Poo" barking at him without fear. After screaming for "The Poo" to come in the house I finally grabbed the camera and video'd our first encounter of the year and "The Poo's" first conquest.... Maxy, you "The Poo!" Enjoy!

You forget we had at least one dog willing to run the bear off with noise! Didn't you hear the dogs crying and barking in the background? They were in the boys room looking through the window at the bear!
