Max and Sports

I have mentioned to a few people that I could write a whole blog just on my dog.  So here is another one.

Max is scared of sports.  It started years ago when as a frustrated, vocal Cleveland fan, I would be yelling at the TV.  It may have actually been a rare moment of success.  But if you were a dog, you wouldn't know the difference.  So Max was very scared and I found him in his house (his cage) literally trembling.  But now Max actually knows when sports is on the TV.  I could be watching sometime I really could be caring less about like curling (why Debsue loves this I don't know) and if he sees people moving around engaged in sports, he will sit up and literally stare at you.  Does your dog know what is on the channel?  If we express any emotion at all, he will plant his head on your lap.  Finally, if the yelling starts, he very slowly slinks back to the sanctity of his house safe from the rabid Cleveland sports fan.  Haven't seen a lot of trembling recently but just wait.  The playoffs are starting.
