Max is having a grand time in his new home.  He has a doggy friend and family and friends who all love him – and, as you can see from his picture, he loves them too!

 

 

 

Here he is, posing in his new collar.

 

This is what his owners have to say about him:

 

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve emailed you (you can always shoot me an email anytime as well).  Anyway, all is going good here!  I took Max to introduce him to our Vet and staff. They do a free check with any dog that’s adopted through a rescue organization.  They all thought he was awesome, the vet said’ “I think he’s part white tailed deer!”  He’s eating well and exercising a lot and making sure we are too!   =]

The weather has been so great we’ve been spending as much time outside as we can, and Max is loving that!  He’s still enjoying scaring the wild turkeys away, but doesn’t seem at all interested in the squirrels.  There is this little chipmunk out back that likes to tease Max when I have him hooked to our lead. He hops the rocks until he’s just out of reach of Max, it’s like watching a cartoon!

Oh, and about the turkeys….occasionally they like to peck at the windows downstairs (attacking their reflections) Max has taken over for Scooby in that department and now recognizes the sound and flies down the stairs and even once jumped up on our air hockey table, and scares them away! Angela was laughing so hard the last time because Max was so fast the turkey didn’t even have time to run! It fell backwards!! LOL!!!

I’m sending some pictures of what the smart boy came up with to do when I’m doing other things around the house. He takes HIS rubber tennis ball to the stairway and carefully puts it on the ledge and gently gives it a push with his nose…..then it rolls a ways and falls down the stairs and bounces in the basement until he gets it!! I think he’s pretty amazing! One time it bounced into our piano. Boy, did he whine until I came and got it out!

He has a super soft bed on the floor next to Louis (it’s a comforter all folded and fluffed up). He lays there next to Louis……until…..the lights go off! Then he jumps on the bed! (I think he thinks he’s sneaky).

He tries to play with Louis, but gets going so fast doing circles around him, that Louis eventually jumps up on my chair and acts all smug.  They walk well together though. Max is still showing Louis respect as the Alpha. I wondered for a while, but they get along fine now. They even ride together in the back seat when I pick Angela up from school.  Max starts wagging his tail and whining as soon as he sees her coming.

We are all doing well…..I think we’re good for each other! It’s super cool to watch/listen to my daughter change from being in pain, to totally caught up in doing something with Max.  Tonight she was trying to work with both dogs on staying, and also catching a treat in the air.

Hope you’re still enjoying being a foster mom.  We sure appreciate what you and PetHaven do!!!
