The Santa Ana winds started on Sunday, causing the Halloween October chill to arrive early. Both of the doggies pee'd and ate as quick as possible and returned to the door to be let in. 
Then dumb pup Max had to get into the action.
(note- see us at the front of the line. You know THE PRINCESS had to be noticed in the picture! I, mommy, am wearing a striped sweater)
Shortly after, our place arrived to the front of the line. Fearing having to stand in line with other dogs with Max, we explained our situation to the Store employee, who was nice enough to let us stay way behind the others, as we entered the store. We talked to producer Kay, explaining how they are both dog aggressive (of course, they both chose this time to place their heads on the table and give the most angelic look to Kay). Our biggest issue being Sasha's fence fighting and Max's aggression (he attacked a dog on New Years day). She explained they were looking for unique problems and suggested we videotape the problems and send them to her for later viewing.
That was it, we were done. A little disappointed we headed back home. However, we did get to see Cesar up close, and he did see Max, well, sort of, but it counts right?
We still watch him all the time, and continue to learn tips. Want to learn some yourself?

Staying Calm & Assertive- Mommy
Mommy lets us lick the spatula!!
BARK!! Sasha the Princess
We didnt know where they went, so while mommy was showering, I had Max keep a look out while I checked the flashy thing for evidence.
Looks like they found the water hole. I cant beleive they didnt take US with them!!! I dont know if I would want to ride on that floating thing though.
After we all got home, Mommy said we needed a bath. Max went first, then I showed him how it is done. 
Step 2: Enjoy the massage
Step 3: pretend you arent loving all the touches and massaging with the towel on you
Step 3: Smile pretty for the flashy thing.
The next morning, someone vadalized the Big Green Machine. I saw mommy lick daddy's face, so he may have had something to do with it. Mommy didnt seem mad. 
Loading the green machine was quite an exciting event. Both dogs were anxious to go somewhere new. Max just gets in and settles down. Sasha likes to sit between us, and watch where we are going, paying careful attention to every turn.
We were told of this waterhole in the next town over. I was still unsure exactly where it was, or if other dogs would be there or not. I called a friend on the way to ensure we were in the right area, but was unable to reach her. Google satalite didnt show water very well, so we decided to risk and try it out.
We reached what we thought was the designation, saddled up the horses, opps, I mean leashed up the pups and hiked off the main road.
Sasha was very excited about all the new smells and sounds of crickets, birds and insects. We kept a close watch for critters and snakes. 
Finally, we reached what we thought would be a water hole, but...
Where's the water??? Oh no!!!
So we hiked back, through what felt like the barren desert (yes, this is sunny California!). Despite what Sasha says, Max is NOT afraid of his own shadow:
Where to next, mom?
Fortunatly, I had thought ahead, and made reservations at a friends pool, just in case we didnt find the water hole. So back to town we go. Sasha has been here before, but we cant get her past the first step. She wants to try so bad, but cant get past the depth drop.
This was Max's first visit. He comes to the edge and just lays down, no matter how hard we tried!
Even though we never found the water hole. Both dogs were thourghly exhausted and slept the rest of the day. Until next monday--- Sit!

I can wag just the tip of my tail. Any other doggies out there that have that secret trick?
PAW--- Max the Dude!
Once I get their attention, I then know I can enter the food room. I have learned to act like I am very dis-interested in what WAS on their plate. They think I am a very well behaved dog for this, and will then relax.
That is when I move in. Right under their unsuspecting noses, I can then move in and sniff to find out what may be remaining that a good doggie can hope to get later.
Then the looks start. I give them the most innocent look I have. That usually makes mommy say something like "aaawwwwww". Daddy tries to act like it doesn't affect him, but I hear his energy saying "I can resist, I can resist".
Max and I have started learning team work. He knows he has mommy's attention, so goes and sits by her chair and wags his tail and looks very sweet to really break her.
As Daddy tries to continue to pretend he isnt noticing, I move in with the Sasha snuggle. This always gets him.
But if all else fails, laying my head on mommy's lap is a guaranteed lovin' session. 
I know how to make mommy and daddy melt. When they are within sight, I just start to roll onto my back, and put my paws in the air. They immediatly get their doggie voices going and one will always come over and rub my irrisistable tummy. 
YUM! Mom held it so I could lick all the yummy-ness out of it!
Thanks mom! PAW- Max the Dude!
Im not sure what it was, but it made mom laugh and laugh. Dad came in to see what was so funny and he got a good laugh too.
Now what do you suppose made them both so happy? I had no idea, but since it made them happy, I kept putting my nose up for more.
Max can't even keep his eye's open
Mommy woke him up for the picture
I woke up and posed real pretty!
Every year, after mommy and daddy eat that REALLY REALLY big bird, they dropped me off to visit Ms T for a few days and always seemed real relaxed when they came to pick me up. Well, last year I didnt get to go to Ms. T's. Mommy and daddy took me with them to Monter-hay. They seemed real excited, and I was excited I got to ride for a long time in the Green Machine with them!
Mommy had said this was where her and daddy had their first kiss, so I went to ponder that thought, while overlooking the vast sea. "What is a kiss?" "Have I ever had one?" "Do I even want one?" "Whatever... just let me get back to sniffing!" But it sure made a good flashy shot, didnt it?
After a few days of exploring, we got back in the Green Machine for another long drive. Daddy found my favorite spot of the whole trip. He take the long red thing off my neck and let me run, run and run! Even daddy started running. I had so much fun. Daddy finally got tired and so we got back into the Green Machine and drove some more.
Then I smelled the oddest smell ever. "Quick daddy! Pull over now!!" We jumped out and went to investigate. "What in the world were those things?" They were making all kinds of noises I had never heard before, and to my surprise they didnt run away when I came near. They made some sounds like me and Max do, that usually make mommy and daddy run from the room. I stayed quiet to watch them more closely. They didnt seem to be a threat to our pack, so I signaled it was ok to leave.
