Max is longer than he is tall, too...didn't really notice it until this weekend (he's been at the doggy hospital, lost over a pound...so I was inspecting him when he got home! LOL) but he's still perfect to me!
No breeding plans...he's already been neutered...and he looooooves his slipper (actually, MY slipper) but it's Hello Kitty, so maybe he likes her? LOL
I've had people comment negatively about Max before, too, especially his coat...seems I can't please anyone, since it's either too long for some or too short for others. I think only Max & I need to worry about that stuff.
