The MAXSTER

Hello my name is Max, or as my mom calls me…...the Maxster, baby, little devil, and Sweetie.
I am now a FULL 18 months old. I think I am very mature for my age, although my mom would beg to differ, she thinks I am a little rascal.
My pet peeves…well to tell you the truth there are these little annoying things outside my window that think that they can just sit on MY bench or run in MY grass or climb MY trees whenever they would like…I mean really what manners, did they ask? I think not! So can’t I be blamed for trying to tell them to go away can I?….apparently yes!
My mom is always telling me to leave the “squirrels” alone (that’s what she calls them, I call them invaders from another galaxy here to torment my days on earth) For some reason she gets all frowny and comes after me when I jump up with my two paws on the window…doesn’t she know I am trying to look SCARY, and then comes mom and blows the whole thing….ah shucks I am just fooling with them…but I think they are laughing at me, why else would they just sit and stare at me instead of running for their lives? I don’t think Mom gets it, I am trying to do my job, these little invaders give them an inch they are going to TAKE MY YARD!
I personally think I am God’s gift to the dog kingdom. I am cute and lovable; always have a huge smile (by the way for all of you other guys and gals out there having a huge grin on your face helps you get out of the messes the parental units think you have made….that and the sad eyes followed by a sigh approach….that one works best on the ladies.) I have no clue why EVERYONE who sees me doesn’t just sit for hours admiring me. After all could there be a better looking guy out there? All I want is for you to talk to me, play with me, love me…HEY ARE YOU WANDERING AWAY, FOCUS PEOPLE remember I am the adorable one in the equation.
I love to play catch with my mom….for hours, I could do it all day, but for some reason after an hour she starts rubbing her shoulder and elbow. What’s that all about? Soon after that she says “last one little monster are you ready” She goes left, she goes right, left, right, left, right whoooosh there goes the ball. I’m going to get it….I ALWAYS get it. (well to tell the truth I’ve lost 5 balls this month, but who could hold that against me). My mom takes me for walks all over the place, but I really love the car rides, we go shopping, but she’s not too happy when I try to sneak something out of the store. She calls me a little thief…but I’m not I just think she forgot to pick up that big bag of chew toys…oh and the ball…oh and the tuggy…oh well she’s forgetful that’s all so I have to help her remember what we are shopping for …ME!
OVERALL as you can most obviously see I am an ANGEL, although even my teacher doesn’t think I am all the time…I need to suck up to her more….but never you mind that. Just think of me as ANGEL BOY MAX..and we’ll get along WONDERFULLY! Did I mention I’m very handsome and Very Smart, and Very Cute, and you know you just are going to love me.

Helen that is the most adorable thing I have read. I feel I know Max well enough to recognize him on the street. You caught it well, you did with your lively and colorful descriptions! And, I think you captured the character of a cool GSD! [color=LimeGreen][b]JOB WELL DONE![/b][/color]

Oh boy, it's time for some fun!  I guess I should start with my name! My Official Name ( the one that's on my impressing AKC stack of papers, is Apollo's Spirit. See I was named for my brother before me... Well, that's a story for another time. My Mom still gets teary if we mention him.. sigh... Anyway I am most often called Spirit. But, please don't tell... My Mom has this sissy name for me... She calls me her.."Sweet Baby James".. Seems she has this thing for James Taylor.. Thank goodness, she only sings it to me before bed and there isn't anyone around... 'Cept maybe Dad. 
I have really been giving my Mom a hard time, but not on purpose! I can't help it if the toilet water tastes way better than the water in my dish. Or if the turtles really do look like a super cool dog toy. And anyway, they are right near the door to the closet with my toys... I figured they were something extra that Mom got me. 
And is it my fault that I like Moms shoes and Dad's underwear.. No, I don't wear them, silly! I just LOVE how they smell... I grab Dads underwear and play "Gimme That" with my Mom. I don't get the chance when Dad's home.... He always catches me and definitely doesn't like the Gimme game.  But everytime Mom takes one shoe off.... I grab it. Even if she is just emptying a pebble out of her shoe. Matter of fact... That's the BEST time!
Sometimes I make Mom bribe me to get her things back. I will drive her CRAZY! She tries to ignore me, but it doesn't work. I'll go right up behind her and "goose" her... Right on the behind... She sometimes doesn't hear me sneak up on her until it's too late. 
Daddy says I'm a real bad dog, 'cause I chewed up a new throw rug... But it was lying right in front of my crate and I didn't like the color... It didn't go with anything in my crate. I didn't mean to actually chew it, I was trying to chase it away and it wouldn't listen. But, Daddy says I didn't stop there... I also demolished the seal on a very expensive, old bottle of wine that my Dad got as a tip the other night. Dad says I must be a wino 'cause I just love the stuff... Guess he hasn't caught me stealing laps of his beer...Hmm.. Guess Mom's not all that bad after all.
One night I went to taste Mom's wine, and ended up wearing it. That one didn't impress anyone... Not even when I tried that "Aren't I the most adorable guy" look. I think it was 'cause it took Mom hours to try and clean up the beige carpet, and Daddy did say I was banished to my crate for eternity. Mommy took me back out though when Daddy started snoring on the couch. But, she says I blew it cause I tried to give Daddy a great big slurp... I am the slurpmeister! He woke up really quick... and caught me just as I was about to give him a second one... And since his mouth was open, well I just figured I would check out that snore while I was there... I wasn't REALLY going to stick my tongue in his mouth..YUCK. 
My mom is always saying how proud she is of me... Even when I bark at my 75 year old neighbor lady. I tried to tell her that she is the next serial killer, but Mom says she doesn't want to hear it... But, lately Mom has been acting strange... She is dropping treats for me... And she doesn't say ANYTHING! Everytime I notice the lady next door.... Here come treats! It's amazing.
All in all, I am really one great dog. I am smart, handsome, and barrels of fun!

I was wondering why, how your dog got its name and if your dogs' names have special meaning? There are some pretty interesting names out there...
Max ...well it is a bit stupid really but....
See the Maxster was as black as coffee when I first saw him....and I LOVE COFFEE..my life's blood as they say...so poor guy got the name Max as in Maxwell House Coffee...

I think Maxsters name is perfect! Maybe a little too much caffiene, for the rambunctious guy, but perfect!
I used to have a Rottweiler who was and still is a part of my heart. He was 8 yrs old and got Osteosarcoma. It was very fast moving and because it was located in his upper left shoulder, and possibly into the scapula, surgery was out of the question. And without surgery they do not do Chemo. There really was nothing we could do but keep him comfortable. We did for a while but decided to let him go before he suffered more. His name was Apollo. Spirit was gotten 5 weeks later. Unknown to us when we decided to get Spirit, turns out he was born on the 18th of July. Exactly one day before Apollo passed away. So, we named him Apollo's Spirit. And of course, we just call him Spirit. We haven't met too many others with the same name, but one day while shopping in the doggie aisle of Wal-Mart, I overheard a woman speaking to her husband, and she said Spirit would like that. I couldn't resist, and asked her about it. It seems that she had just lost a dog and gotten another one... She decided to call her Annies Spirit, after her first dog! We were both amazed that we each had done the same thing... It was kind of neat though, and uncanny... Her dog was an Austrailian Shepherd!
He has certainly lived up to his name though. His first three visits to the vet, and maybe more, he fell asleep on the exam table. (Aaahhh, so sweet). The vet said the name didn't fit, cause he didn't seem to have any get up and go. But, he was just pretending to sleep and while he did that, he thought of hundreds of ways to create mischief! Now everyone says.. "What a perfect name!" He certainly does have lots of "Spirit"! Oh yes, he does... A little over a hundred pounds of "Spirit"!
Imagine that!? Such stories lie behind names!!
Ok, who's next?
Dee and the Slobbergator!

Hi All,
You'll notice that there isn't much access to our old posts. However when you start posting in the various boards some old messages come up and they're under the wrong board. Just disregard and hopefully we'll be able to get them sorted out or deleted later.

I've been reading how our beloved pets got their names. The post about the maxster is too cute.
I wish I could write something cute about my dog. I wanted to give my dog a strong name and Caesar
seemed to fit him well. As I said in my previous posts. When Caesar was under a year old, he behaved so well and he seemed so obedient. Somehow I lost control of him or he was just plain crazy from the get go. My dad and several neighbors said I should of given my dog the name of Mr. Taliban instead
of Caesar the Mental. I seem to have a problem getting into some of our old posts. I would like to know how Dee, Helene, Max and especially Spirit and the rest of the members are doing. The last I
read Spirit was very ill. I'm hoping he is doing well. For the moment with the exception of Caesars' last adventure he is behaving. With the looooong walks and his beloved stuffed cow Caesar is fine.
Well I must get back to work.
Enid and Caesar The mental

This is my first post. Hope I am doing it right. I have two GSD's -my 8 yr old was named by my 5 yr old god-child. She came up with the name "Kayla" and since the breeder was naming the litter from "candy bars" She became "Kristari's Sweet Kayla Marie. My two yr old came from a "D" litter and since I loved the TV show Dallas and my roomate from MSU lives in Dallas it was only correct to name her Dallas. She became Dallas Ekaterina Von Emeritus. I do obedience, agility and Rally with my girls. June
German Shepherds aren't my whole life. They make my life whole!

You did it right June. Nice to see you here. We need an Agility Expert on board.
If you have any questions on how to do anything ie post pictures etc. just ask and someone will pick it up and help or you can email me directly. In the meantime, POST AWAY. You'll notice that we have big holes in a few areas and that was thanks to a system crash the forum provider had that took all our data. We're slowly getting back on track again. If you have any other GSD friends please point them here we'd love to have them on board.
