I asked Max if he wanted to have Sul sleep in his room. Max was a little worried about the carpet getting hairy, but once I promised him that carpets can be vacuumed he was excited and went and pulled Sultan's bed into his room.
Sultan thought it was weird. He wasn't sure he wanted to sleep there. I gave Max some dog treats to try to smooth things over, and it helped a bit.
But he didn't want to sleep there when night fell. He usually sleeps on his bed all night, but last night he kind of wandered the house.
I think he ended up on the bed though.
Anyway, the whole point of this story is that I went into Max's room this morning after my shower. Max was supposed to be getting dressed, which is always an ultra long process.
Here's what I saw:
Does he have that kind of put upon look in his eye, or is that just my imagination?
Max was letting him read. He'd gotten out his dog books. McDuff, and Martha Speaks. They're open to specific favorite parts.
I thought it was so cute. How nice of Max to help Sultan read! And to find the books he might be interested in.
So far so good I say. I like that Max has to think about somebody else besides himself once in a while. It can't be a bad thing. Now if we can just get Sultan on board we'll be set.

and yes, one of the books says "shut up" but there's good reason, and we talk all the time about how that's does not make people feel good to hear that. But of course that's his favorite page. Whatever!
That's darling.
Made me LOL right out loud. He does look very, very put upon. But he's not lying on the books, nor stepping on them. And the care with which the reading was offered is charming, to say the very least.
I think I will be smiling for several minutes over this.
I'm with your mom- I totally laughed out loud! Max is so dang cute.
Like your mom and Tiffany, I laughed out loud. What a fun thing for you to find. Awesome.
I didn't know Sultan could read.
I like that the books are about dogs too. Max is so thoughtful!
You can't read this and not smile and not want to have a dog of your very own. I sure hope that Max succeeds in not only becoming best friends with Sultan, but in helping him learn to read...that would just be amazing.
I thought this was Frazz's response to Sultan keeping him up all night by pacing. :) Sultan is in time out letting things sink in. :)
Have Frazz feed him and let him sleep in his room and Sultan will connect with him. At least that is what all of the books say. :D
LOL....I was at work and laughed right out loud when I read this! Oh my, that is just precious! And yes, Sultan looks like he's thinking "What are they thinking?" But he should get over this! LOL...yep, I'll keep thinking about this and the "carefully selected" books and all....just precious!
Thanks for sharing and brightening my day.
Yes I have to agree with everyone else. It is too funny and so sweet and thoughtful of Max. I love it.
That is a great picture, it is so funny that Max tried to enertain him. And yes the look on his face is priceless:-)
