Meet Maximus

This is Max.

Max is 8 weeks old.

We met Max on Saturday, and he joined our family today, quite unexpectedly. However, we are already quite fond of little Maximus, and he is also quite fond of 2 little boys and the great big dog.

All the boys love playing with each other,

just looking at each other,

And napping/watching cartoons with each other.
What more could you ask for?

***Now for the rest of the story***

My sister had been looking for quite some time to get another dog to keep her dog company during the day. This weekend, after lots of looking and asking Dave lots of dog-related questions, she decided on Maximus (She named him Maximus because her current dog's name is Brutus...) and purchased him Saturday afternoon. Yesterday afternoon, she found out that her apartment complex wouldn't allow Max to live there due to his breed. He is a boxer/shepherd mix. That is the *only* thing we didn't think about and are still quite surprised by it. Evidently pure bred boxers are okay, but anything mixed with a shepherd is not. Go figure.

Anyway, unfortunately for Ashley, she had to get rid of him pronto. It was either sell him or let us take him. So, we took him! This way, Ashley still gets lots of visiting time with the puppy and we get to enjoy playing with him all the time too.

And yes, if you're wondering...potty training a puppy and a boy at the same time is exhausting. And messy. It'll be a race to see who gets done first! :)
