The Max Chronicles - Chapter 4

SPITTING BACK

Max was fascinated by Eloise. She could not get away from him, he was always staring at her or climbing all over her or chasing her around the house. They wrestled frequently. Eloise would growl and howl at Max to no avail. If she got the better of him, Max would make the oddest little sounds. Sounds that reminded me of monkeys chattering. The sounds would go on for a very short time and then he would lunge at her and the wrestling would start again. Max was now one pound heavier than Eloise. I knew if he continued his bullying behaviour, he would be hurting her as he grew bigger and bigger. He was still biting a lot. He didn't use his claws much but his teeth were always in action.
