First birthday present for this year: Max just puked his dinner up on the living room carpet. I have enough of a problem with dog puke as it is, but Max had minced raw green tripe for supper, which smells bad enough to make me retch while I put it in their bowls. Let me tell you, five hours inside a warm dog does not make the stuff any nicer...

Ah, well, it can only improve from here on in...
Max is such a dork, he's spent the last hour trying to catch the little spot of sunlight that reflects off the tag on his collar... Spike's laughing at him but he doesn't care. I think it's the dog equivalent of playing a computer game... I wish Max didn't answer to his name, then I could have changed it - Max sounds good enough but it's so unoriginal... besides, his true name is clearly Xander. It would match better with Spike, and he even looks like Xander - both eyes, but he has that cute puzzled goofy puppy look down perfectly. Spike was the same age Max is now when I changed his name from Rebel, but no one had bothered teaching it to him so it didn't matter.

The two of them sent me a birthday card... yes, me and my Mum are sad women in some ways. Her birthday is in three weeks, and I shall make sure she gets one from Maisie as well...
