My crazy adventure this week.
Tuesday morning was a gray, rainy day. I had gotten up, wrapped myself in my purple fleece robe, had my cup of coffee in hand and was sitting in front of the computer. The dogs, Max and Missy, were in their spots; Missy on the bed and Max on the floor right behind my chair. I was busy making comments on Triond, when Max came up and bumped my hand off the keyboard with his nose. I told him to quit and to go lay down and started typing again. He gave me about 30 seconds and did it again, this time a little harder. I looked at him and he had that desperate, “I gotta pee” look in his eyes so I knew he wouldn’t give up.
I called him a few names and he happily wagged his tail at me and out the door we went. Missy opened one eye to watch us go and went back to sleep. My kind of girl. I opened the sliding glass door for him and waited. Since it was raining, I figured he’d run to his favorite spot, do the deed, and be back at the door in 30 seconds. Not this morning. He went to a spot under the willow tree and just stood there, staring at something in the grass. He’d sniff at the spot and look over at me, then back at the spot. This being the morning and the coffee hadn’t kicked in yet, it took me a few seconds to figure out that there was something there. He kept looking at me and back down like “Come on Mom. Come out here and do something!”
Crap! The first thing I thought was that he had found a snake. I couldn’t see anything because I didn’t have my glasses on and whatever it was, was small enough to be hidden by the grass. I so did not want to go out there, but he wasn’t moving and I had to admit, I was curious. I opened the door a crack, told him I’d be right back, (yeah, I know), and went and got my blue flip flops and blue umbrella. (Remember I had a royal purple robe on. I was a sight!)
Nope, this one is true!! 
Max is the dog in the picture.
Yes, a beautiful story and wonderful tribute to Max… Well done QuinMonty, the little guy is flying from tree to tree in our back yard and no more worm duty for me 
What an interesting story and a bit funny too. The things we do to try and save gods creatures It amazes me what lengths our pets will go to, to try and get our attention. And you and max did a great job. Happy endings are always nice to hear.
