Max & I use to put on an awesome show during the summer. I use to take him up the canal & toss a homemade stick into the water, & max would jump off the wall an avg of 10 feet or more & max one hell of a splash. We use to go at the same time everyday for about 3-4 hours. People started to bring friends & tourests were always watching. Some would join in (by swimming with him), but I stopped that after a couple of kids wouldn't listen to me (they kept hanging off him & he kept choaking on water). Heres a few pics:


I found the origionals to these photos, so I'll have to scan them back in & make em larger & clearer, but this'll have to do.


I don't jump max anymore, the pressure of his body hitting the water is harming his neck & causing the aritritus to get worse. Its been almost 1 year since I've jumped him & hes only had 1 aritritus attack (thats when we learned it was the jumping), but hes been fine since.
