Max.. Oh Max- What are we going to do with you
Ok- I was in the Den yesterday - reading a good book when the front door bell rang. That typically means a stranger- because 1) all friends and family use the back door and 2) they never knock or ring the bell. So, I debated to even answer it- but I did. There were two ladies - one was up on the porch and the other was standing at the bottom of the steps - and - Max had come off the back deck to greet them and was standing beside the gal at the bottom of the stairs. Introductions were made - Julie and Sally- blah blah- and NO- I'm not interested in what you are selling... While we are having this discussion- I looked down at Max- and he is PEEING all over Julie's foot. In his defense - he still has trouble holding it - and - when he gets excited anyone is fair game. So- I said " Julie, I am so sorry, but my dog seems to be wetting on your foot". She looked down and shreaked- shook her foot - shot me a dirty look, and went to the car. I yelled my apologies to her and asked If I could get her a wash cloth. She didn't answer- Sally followed her - and off they drove. 
When John got home I told the story and he asked if I scolded Max- or said " Good Job" . WELL-I did bring him in the den with me and gave him cheese- but that was just timing. I don't agree with Max peeing on peoples feet- no matter WHAT they are selling.  |

| Very funny!! Atta boy Max!! |
Good boy, (sorry but it is funny) .I would like it when the bible preachers come to the door  Even when you ask them to leave they just keep talking. How do you handle them? |

Even when you ask them to leave they just keep talking. How do you handle them?Well... if was a preacher - I would have to make sure Max had a fresh brushing and a tie on before we went to the door. |
| Just smile, say "goodbye" (interrupting if necessary) and close the door.
I do that every time. Well not every time. Sometimes I interrupt and say "No thanks." and close the door. If I'm really annoyed, I just roll my eyes and close the door. Notice a pattern? You're not being rude, they are invading your space. In fact you are saving them valuable time to go on to the next house. If he's bored, my brother will lead them on for an hour or two before letting them go. Now THAT is mean. |
| YAY Max, what a great way to get rid of door to door salespeople.
Now if only he can use the phone too for telemarketers, life would be perfect then. |
| way to go Max |
Good job Max!  |
| I sense a business opportunity here. Would you be willing to rent him out? I know I could put his special talent to good use. Or perhaps some kind of rescue fundraising event? Highest bidder gets a day with Max that just happens to coincide with when your annoying MIL comes to visit?

Kristine Oh too funny. We may be able to strike a deal for free for that one! NO rental fee involved.
Everyone I have told this story too wonders how she didn't know he was peeing on her. |
| Not only did Max end your visit, he probably saved your neighbors too as I'm sure the lady decided she needed to go home. Good boy Max. |
| Attaboy, Max!!! What a great trick!! Can he teach it to other sheepies? |
| hahahahaaha! Max, you crack me up!! |
| Way to go, Maxie boy!! |
| Wow that is kinda funny that she didn't realize that the dog was peeing on her foot.

Even when you ask them to leave they just keep talking. How do you handle them?I was a little surprised by your statement. When you were talking back in the thread of Stress Relief http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?t=15 ... c&start=15 about reading the bible, looking for a new church, and all of your problems I would have thought you would have been talking to them. Maybe at least they could have some comforting words from the Bible to share with you that you may not have found before in your readings. |
