Max’s Christmas hat. I got it from El L. Bean.
Obviously he’s nacho average dog.
And now, Max’s really bad joke of the day:
Him: Do you know the Spanish word of the day?
Me: No.
Him: “Alpaca.” Shall I use it in a sentence?
Me: Yes.
Him: If we are going to the park, alpaca a lunch.
Feliz navidad. Navidog. Whatever.

Not lunch, Dos Equis, or maybe Uno Equi, he being such a little guy. If it weren’t for Jacques, Max would be the most interesting dog in the world.

Max is familiar with the ‘Most Interesting Man in the World’ meme. So I tried one out on him: “I don’t always feel like I am at the top of the gene pool but when I do, it’s at Walmart.” He didn’t get the joke so not even uno equi for him. I imagine that when Jacques tells tales to the canine ladies he emphasizes his fearless mouse hunting experiences.

So mean. Surely Max qualifies for Target. As for Jacques, you could be onto something. That muddy face does enhance the Bad Boy image.

You could get Jacques a motorcycle jacket and sunglasses for Christmas. Have him roll a pack of Gauloises up in his tee shirt sleeve.

Max does like gladiator movies so maybe you are on to something. “Airplane” is one of my top favorite movies, surely I have watched it 20 times and don’t call me Shirley. You got me corn-fused about the “punam” but from context I’m going to assume you meant “punim” which I know is Yiddish for “face.” Did I get it right?
Max counters with two new words of the day: “pink” and “yellow.” As in, when the phone rings, I “pink” it up and say “yellow!”

Hey! Hey! Hey! There is nothing wrong with Tex-Mex; in fact, that’s real good eatin’! You are just upset that Max focused on Spanish instead of those Caledonia sayings that are incomprehensible to mortal man or dog. OK, here’s an easy one: word of the day is “kilt.” As in, that’s what happened to the last person who called it a skirt.

Max, no matter what costume your DogDad subjects you to, you give new meaning to the words suave and chic. Even DogDad couldn’t pull it off. I know Santa will be bringing you special dog treats this Christmas!
Thank you for keeping me laughing all year. Even though you now have to pee and poo on stones, no soft grass for your adorable bum, you always find something funny to share with us.
Murphy hopes your DogDad doesn’t get any crazy idea to have you walking the Costume Hall of Shame to sum up this year. If you think about it, 2020 is the year that wasn’t!

Hi Ginger! I used up my one and only ginger joke (non-redhead type) with that gingerbread house a few days ago. I’m glad that you have had fun at my expense this year. You were not alone in that endeavor. Yes, there will be more silly dog costumes and blog posts in 2021 and hopefully we will be able to do some traveling so that Max can return to his principal job as tour guide to strange and unusual places.

You owe Max big time…all the Tex Mex or Mex Tex he can eat, a visit to the shops to choose his new toys. No sacrifice too great to compensate for that hat.
His exploits liven up even a year like this, so Merry Christmas to you all.

You are just jealous. I think that hat was from Costa Rica. The little balls hanging around the rim are the dead giveaway. I didn’t have a genuine serape so a scarf had to suffice. To add insult to injury, after that photo was taken, I had to grab the Malt and shuffle off to the veterinarian so he (the Malt) could get his annual nasal Bordetella treatment. Not a happy puppy. Merry Christmas to you and yours, too.

Little balls hanging round the hat? Not in Costa Rica…they would have been eaten by termites long ago when in the shop…
Good job you specified that the poor Malt was undergoing the treatment…next time let him try it on the vet.
