So finally here's your answer. You were all very close.
"OK Sul"
"Sit!! Sit!! SIT!!!"
"DOWN!"
"Good boy"
We got a bunch of little doggy treats from Trader Joe's. Somehow Sul likes them. He's funny and pretty picky about what he eats. He doesn't even really like milkbones. But he likes these. So I've been having Max work with him on a few things. Sit, down and stay. It's pretty funny to watch, and if Sul realizes there are treats involved he gets excited and kind of tries to obey.
He takes a treat, puts it on the ground and says "Stay." He usually says it like 45,000 times. Then he says "OK!" and Sul is supposed to run over and eat it. It usually goes really well, and it's super fun to watch.
Max kept putting the treats on the floor instead of having Sultan eat them from his hands. I asked him why and he didn't explain. But I figured it out after seeing the following photos.
That last one is hilarious, isn't it? Feeding him from your hand is scary! Look at those big teeth in that huge mouth!
It's been fun to have Max interact with Sultan a little more lately. We've had him feeding Sultan every night too, which at least gives them some sort of connection.
Hopefully they'll get to be even better friends as we go along!

A guy at the dog park today described Sultan as the woolly mammoth of German Shepherds. Pretty close after seeing these pictures.
Oh - puuupppy! They really make a cute couple, you know, the dog with the fuzzy head and the kid with the fuzzy brain. I do hope they get to be great friends. Or maybe not - because how will we ever get our hands on him if THAT happens?
By the way - totally cool header. Like I said on flickr, though - Goethe, Joyce and - Jerome K Jerome? Side by side? What a world we live in, my dear. Come to think of it, what would Sully be like in a boat? Especially if there was a hamper present?
Ouch! Well, this'll get Max ready for his mission. He's bound to get bit by a dog at some point out there.
Remember how Mickey used to shake hands? I thought that was the coolest dog trick ever. Teach Sultan that one next.
Max and Sultan will be buddies someday.
They're both good boys
Love you
Dad
Let Sultan sleep with Frazz. That'll seal the deal.
That's awesome! It would be fun to have a dog for that very reason. Play time!
They are fun to watch together, and I MISS Trader Joes!!!
