I came through from the kitchen this evening and noticed that Max was acting rather strangely.  He was walking around the couch staring madly at it and jumping back.  I wondered what the heck he was doing then I noticed there was a tear in the cover.  My bold and fearless Stafford (not) noticed something was different and he did not know what to do !

What is that ?
I haven't seen that before !
I'm not sure what it is at all.  I don't want to get too close though.
Max stares at the tear in the cover for a long time.  He studies it from different angles.  His body is taut and he is very alert.  He is ready to flee at a moment's notice.
OK, I'm closer to it now and I'm still not happy about this.
What is it Mum ?  Is it OK ?  Am I safe ?
I want a sniff - better close my eyes first - just in case !!!
Finally he plucks up the courage to get up on the couch for a closer look. 
He looks at me for reassurance but he gets none - I am laughing too much.
He actually closes his eyes before sticking his face nearer the tear for a quick sniff.
Oh, Oh, Oh, nearly there, nearly there.  I can do it.
OK - My Nose is in - What Next ?   Aaarggghhhhhh !!   Shriek !!
Nearly there, nearly there !  You can do it Max !
Finally, minutes later, he sticks his face in - only to get the fright of his life because I (being the sick person that I am) had put my hand through the other side and grabbed his nose when he finally poked it through :-)  I laughed so much that I didn't get any more pictures after that.
