It's hard to imagine now just how much time we used to devote to "the boys", as we call Max and Marley, our Yorkies. They are so spoiled that some days it's just unbearable to be around them, but we still love them just the same. Jack has gotten the hang of saying Max (he pronounces it like "Maaaa sssssssssssss"), but he still calls Marley "Maaa". I have no doubt the kid could say Marley or get pretty close, but in his mind all dogs are "Maaa". The other night, Travis introduced Marley to Bill the Beta, something we both now regret. Bill has been with us since right before Christmas, but he's never made much of an impression on the dogs until now. I swear to you this fish was messing with Marley. He was sticking his gills out at him and Marley was going nuts! Then the fish would turn his back to the dog! It beat anything we had ever seen! Marley is now obsessed with the fish after Jack goes to bed because when Jack is awake Marley is just worried about getting out of his way! Here's a picture of Marley staring Bill down tonight. Bill couldn't care less. What you can't see in the picture is Travis is actually sitting in front of the cushion Marley is behind. Marley doesn't mind. This is the dog that will sit on your face in order to be closer to you than anybody else.
Now here's Max finally getting rest after a long day at home with Jack.
