Dog Day Afternoon (Walk)

Occasionally, in the afternoon around 3pm, I will bring Max and Jon for a short car ride to a quiet place nearby for a short walk. It can be hot at this hour, and when they return home, they will be panting frantically. Max, being so unfit, pants easily. Jon has strong stamina. He was brought up in the wild before he was rescued.

Max is recovering, and Jon seems to be more relaxed

Smart Max...putting in his head in to get the air from the fan

Testing Max's level of sleep

I was eating some chicken and there were a a few cartilege that I wanted to let Max have. As he was sleeping, I wanted to see how deep his sleep was. I placed the food in a container and placed it on his lower leg. He only flinched after I moved the container twice toward to upper part of his body. Even after he woke up, he just looked at it before deciding whether it is worth it to get up to eat the food.

The day Max made me worry

There was once when I noticed Max slightly moving his head up and down. I thought of the worse for him. Is there something wrong with his head? Did he eat something? Seconds later, I saw a little pebble falling off from his mouth. Alright...he is nibbling on a small pebble. He picked it up again and I can see that his mouth is just slightly moving too.
Now, Max will pick up a pebble to nibble on when he is in the mood.

Unique design at the rump

While Jon and Max were having their meal - with their backs facing me - I noticed that Max's rump has two identical designs on each side. It is like two eyes. In comparison, Jon's is normal, maybe just a little spot on both sides.
