Meet Max!

Max Emerson

This is our new puppy, Max! (I use the term "puppy" loosely, he's actually just over a year old.) We're getting him from Operation Kindness later this week (he has to be fixed first--yikes) and he's just as sweet as can be! Sam and Max had an hour long meet & greet yesterday and everything went VERY well! There was much "doggy handshaking" as the woman called it and Sam wasn't a bit aggressive. Max is an incredibly shy dog, which makes me think that he wasn't given much love at his previous owner's house. He was an owner surrender and the reasoning was, "too many pets". Poor thing! Well, I have the time, love and TLC to give him so he should be good with us! The OK worker noticed how calm Sam was and said that he, more than the 2 of us, would really bring Max out of his shell because he'll imitate Sam. Good thing Sam's such a good dog!

Strangely enough, while we were at the meet and greet, some professional photographers came over and asked me if they were brothers/siblings (no checking of the undercarriage was involved, obviously). They were they taking pictures of shelter dogs for a book they're writing--what a great idea! Sam and Max were both quite photogenic and I had to sign a waiver for Sam, SO funny!!

Anyway, so this is Max and I'm sure I'll have many more pictures to come soon! Have a good day!
