Watching Tampa Bay beat the Pens in game seven.
***Update***
Just so you guys will quit telling me that I torture my dog, here is Max out on a walk.
And here he is losing one of my expensive Chuckit! balls.
Happy?

The excitement depicted in the photo is so electrifying, I think I’ll just go back to bed.

Trolling our blog-host, I see. This blog contains the best self-trolling in the entire blogosphere.

usually I’m so entranced by the dog that I don’t notice the quality of the photo – but that’s a good photo.

Well, thank the FSM that you have Max to comfort you.
Fuck. I can’t believe you’re watching when you already know how bad the outcome is. Is it kinda like a car accident or train wreck for you?
And, in case you missed me saying it the hundred times I have, Max is just the most awesome doggie. Love, love, love him.

Hockey in Florida is just so wrong.

@geg6: No, the game is meant to explain Max’s mood.
bkny
max has perfected the guilt-inducing look. what are you doing taking a photo when you could be throwing the tennis ball.
Omnes Omnibus
@Tim F.: Takes his hockey seriously, does he?
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: Sports fan puppeh is a sports fan. And a dayum good-looking doggie to boot.
Josie
Oh, my. Somebody is watching tv instead of taking Max for a walk. For shame.
Poopyman
Poor Max! Now that the Pens are done, all he has left are the Pirates.
I don’t think even Max can get excited about the draft, although Heyward was a good start.

What I would have typed (perhaps not as cleverly) has already been said in comments 1-5,7 and 8. Clearly I’m not needed here, so I’ll just wish everyone a happy Friday.

Have never been able to really appreciate hockey. I watch a game & someone get slammed into the boards & I think ‘that’s got to be a foul’ & they play on, then someone tries to neuter a player with their stick & I think ‘that’s got to be a foul’ & they play on. I also don’t understand the substitution rules, seems like at times there are too many people on the ice (when they change shifts). I also think the rink is too small. Would like them to use Olympic size rink. (end hockey rant).
I’m sure that is part of the appeal for a hockey fan.

Aw, Max does, indeed, look very hangdog. Get off yer ass, Tim F., and take that boy for a walk!
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: I agree. Tim F. is just neglecting that poor puppeh. I will be more than happy to take Max in.

Those new pictures are obviously Photoshopped — with adorableness! Who’s my iddle puppy? Who’s my iddle puppy? YOU are! Oh, yes you are! Yes you are!

Max made my day!
Sweet Jeebus he’s teh cutest.

i’m sure max is resigning this season’s overall failure to the injuries to malkin and crosby, and that they only played two games with them and jordan staal in the line up at the same time. that does not look like the face of a dog who is unfairly blaming shero or bylsma, when the team played valiantly, if undergunned.
though i wouldn’t blame max if he thinks even ahl’ers shold be able to do better with the power play chances the pens had throughout the series with tampa bay.

i’m sorry Tim, but THAT dawg looks blackety, blackety black to me. Has he got a long form birth certificate to prove that he’s a legal resident of these United States of ‘Merika? What kind of special strings were pulled to get him into the Harvard School of Canine Bidness? Where’s his transcripts?

Why is Trump being treated differently than George W. Bush? They’re the same person.

Max is so adorable. Love the sad face in the first photo. How can you resist giving him treats when he gives you that face?

1. Those are MAX’s Chuckit! balls, not yours, so they are his to lose if he wants.
2. Teasing someone about hockey within a week of a crushing loss is more cruel than many things prohibited by the 8th Amendment.

I don’t know if this was brought up in another thread, but Donald didn’t always have a great relationship with the blacks. He was sued for racial discrimination by the Feds in the 70’s. Here’s an interesting nugget:
The judge threw it out, calling it a waste of “time and paper.”
quaint irene
Oh, man. That second pic is just priceless. What a face!
Tim F.
@West of the Cascades: I’m not teasing anyone. I’m from Pittsburgh and Max really was acting like captain grumpy near the end of that game. He probably picked up some of the negative vibes that Dr. Mrs. Dr. F and I were shouting at the TV.

@Fucen Pneumatic Fuck Wrench Tarmal:
Which, to me, is indicative that the Pens had other problems besides their two best players being out (which is, of course, a very big problem). A commenter on another blog pointed out that in spite of that, the Pens were still up 3-1 in this series, against a team with some pretty darn good talent. They just couldn’t put it away.
Earl
You can find a chuckit or identical competitor that takes plain tennis balls. Thus we spend a small fortune on lost balls instead of a major fortune.
Tim F.
@Earl: Any Chuckit will take regular tennis balls. The orange rubber balls are just much, much better. They go farther, bounce better and last forever instead of getting barfed up in pieces at 3 am a day or two after I open the can.
mcd410x
Go Bolts! It really is an honor to be able to watch St. Louis play. Just an amazing player.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: Then he would be mine by fake-marriage! Me-likey.
That second pic of Max is fabulous. Poor neglected puppeh.
Sophist
And here he is losing one of my expensive Chuckit! balls.
The water’s like four inches deep. Wade in and get it yourself, ya pansy!

Beautiful dog, beautiful pictures, utterly jealous…
PIGL
not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he? Very attractive, though. Something about these eyez.
AkaDad
Those pictures have clearly been Photoshopped.
Josie
Sounds like a vicious smear to me. He is obviously trying to find the expensive ball. What a beautiful, healthy, happy dog.

@Tim F.: Ach! Thanks for the explanation. I am from Buffalo originally and have been dying slowly the last week about the Sabres’ departure from the playoffs – sorry about being overly touchy about perceived hockey-related taunting!
pjcamp
Happy.
What a beautiful doggie.
