Mad Max Nugget Giddens

16 weeks as of 7/21/10
36.8lbs on 7/19 
I took him to the vet on 7/13 and he was only 32lbs. 

In case you share my math skills I will break it down for you.
That is 4.8lbs in 6 days.
0.8 lbs a day, ALMOST a pound a day!

We have a chunky monkey.

Our little Max is growing up so fast...

I ♥ this picture! He used to love to sit in my lap in the truck

His new sofa. He loves it!

He likes to rest his head on the console when he doesn't get to ride in the front.

He looked like and ALIEN! The vet wanted him to work his ear muscles. 
Every time I look at this picture I crack up!

He lays like this every once in awhile on his sofa and it is super funny.
I'm glad I caught him in the act!

Max's Rat Pack
I bought him a stuffed rat at IKEA and he tore it up in one day!
June 30, 2010

*Funny side story about the rat. While I was at IKEA I decided I would look around for a cheap toy or two to take home to Max. I walked through the kid's section and noticed a huge bin of stuffed rats. I decided that it would be a funny toy for him. There were brown, gray, and black rats in the bin. I was holding the black and gray rat because I could not decide what color I wanted him to have (silly, I know- why does it even matter?) Remember I am standing in the kid's section- as I am standing there holding these rats trying to make my very difficult decision a lady walked by and gave me the biggest look of disgust I have EVER received! I finally figured out that she must have thought that I was horrible mother for buying my child a stuffed rat! It's pretty funny looking back at it. If only I could have told her it was or a dog. I would like to know why IKEA thought it was a good idea to sell stuffed rats to kids though...

This isn't Max- it's his brother Gauge. Isn't he sooo nice?
Max's ears will look like this one day. Gauge's just went a little quicker.

Max with his Peanut Butter filled Kong. His fave. 
He gets PB on his sofa though and then tries to lick the sofa

He likes to lay in the kitchen with me while I cook.

Look how crazy he gets!! Look at his ferocious teeth!!
He only likes to bite Chris.

Well everyone...Max finally realized he is big enough to jump on OUR sofa! The first time he jumped up there he couldn't figure out what had happened so he started looking around and then Chris and I realized that we were in big trouble. Now he just likes to jump back and forth between the sofa and loveseat and Chris and I are just running around trying to get him off of one or the other.
Ay yi yi. What are we going to do? 

The vet said that he will get his bandages off on Friday and will have them off over the weekend. 
I will be sure to take a picture of him so that everyone can see what he looks like without his rainbow bandages. Did anyone notice that he has had a different color every week?
