Max Loves Christmas!
It seems the same every year.
There’s boxes in the house with special wrapping paper. And there are lights, music, food and special guests.
And amid all the activities, Max watches and waits.
And on Christmas morning Max sits patiently waiting as we open gifts with family, somehow knowing – expecting – his gift.

It’s important to slow down your dog’s fast eating habit
Slow Down Your Dog's Fast Eating
Eating too fast is a bad habit and is not good for the dog’s digestion, which starts in the mouth.
Some dogs (and cats) have a tendency to gobble down their food so fast, that it can come back up within minutes.
Most likely, the food came back up whole, which is not a reflection of the food, but regurgitation from his eating too fast. (If the vomit has mush or digestive juices then you have to find what caused it.)
