the Pooch

Maka is now 5 months old and we recently took him to the doggy beach on Hickam Air Force Base for the first time.  It's a great place for doggies and toddlers.  He and Rieley had a blast (as you saw in the previous post).  Maka is getting to be a big boy.  He's about the same weight and height (when he stands on his hind legs) as Rieley is and uses that to his advantage when he plays with her.  He's always knocking her over and playing Mr. Tough Guy, but we all know that deep down, he's just a real chicken!  When he's at the dog park with the bigger dogs, he surrenders to them without a fight.  Haha.  He's got quite the terrier personality from the Airdale part...so hyper, but at the same time he's got a laziness to him and the most text book puppy dog face I've ever seen.  He's also got beautiful light brown eyes that I love to look into.  We all like to rile him up and he gives it right back to us.  Check out our playful little pup and his big floppy ears below.
