Max was trying to get me to play with him. He has several toys he will bring to me so I can play tug of war with him or throw it and he will bring it back. He brought me one squeaky toy that between him and me it doesn't squeak anymore that came with him when I got him. I had just thrown it into the kitchen for him to go after. He chased it down and came back into the living room. And a commerical came on he dropped the toy and sat down and watched it. The whole thing. It was about a fishing village and just had video of the ocean on it but it caught his attention. The one that really gets him Has a Dog that is just mopeing around the house waiting on his owner to come home that one drives him crazy. He will bark for several min on that one. I think it is local.
