Max: then and now

I was going through some old pictures of Max again, and found this cute baby one. She's so tiny, with such dark eyes! And she looks so innocent!

Here she is on her rope figure-8. It's actually a dog toy, but I have attached it to her playstand with a clip. We were doing our clicker training one day, and she beaked the figure-8, so I clicked and gave her a treat. Within a minute, she was doing flips through this toy! It wasn't something I had set out to teach her at all. She has a lot of fun doing this and will often do flips even when we're not training (and she doesn't get a treat then).
