Hello. My name is Max. I am a 6 month-old toy poodle. I come to the school almost every day with my owner. While my owner is working, I usually sleep or play with my toys and try to be a good boy. I wag my tail to whoever comes to the school, because I love meeting people and playing with them.
I am looking forward to playing with you!

Max is a toy poodle born on December 6th, 2005, and it has been more than 4 months since he came to my house. He is full of curiosity and loves to observe things around him. The way he stares at my face makes me wonder if he is trying to read my facial expressions. He accompanies me to work almost every day now, and sleeps on the floor, or a chair, or sleeps in his own ‘house’ while I am teaching. He is so adorable he has become popular among students as well as our staff. He is always ready to offer his friendly welcome with vigorous tail-wagging to everyone who shows at the door, though this keeps him from taking a good nap. So by the time we leave work, he is usually very worn out and ready to go to sleep. We have so grown accustomed to having him around us he is now an important part of the school as well as my family.

Please remember Max next time you come to school!

マックス（Max）は平成17年12月6日生まれの　雄のトイプードルで、我が家にやってきて　もう4ヶ月以上になります。　何にでも興味津々で観察力が鋭く、じっと話している私の顔を見ている様子はまるで、一生懸命表情を汲み取ろうとしているかの様です。　ほぼ毎日私について職場に来て、授業中はいい子をして床か椅子の上か自分の「お家」のなかで寝ています。　マックスはとても愛らしく、先生や生徒さんの間でも可愛がられる人気者です。　とっても人なつこいので、生徒さんが来られる度に　しっぽを一生懸命に振ってお出迎えするため、お昼寝も十分できず　夜帰宅する頃には　ぐったりと疲れ、もう早く寝に行きたくて仕方ない様子です。　もう今や　大切な私の家族とスクールの一員となりました。

皆さんもマックス君と仲良くしてくださいね。
