Shortly after adopting Max, I thought it would be fun to add another dog.
I missed having a golden & I loved the dream of a Max & Ruby - like the show the kids used to watch.

Before it panned out, new neighbors w/ a Ruby - a black lab/doodle - moved in across the street.

Here's Max intently & quietly watching for Ruby.
Her mom says she does the same thing - but cries & whimpers while looking for Max.

Another #Max #Morning.

Max's #Christmas #Collar (with a #Large #Bow) arrived today.

If you think he is showing a little #Attitude it's because #Yesterday when we left the #Park, he lost track of me and I hid behind a medium tree (so I wasn't completely hidden!). He had to hunt around to find me and I was snickering a bit as I watched. I know. I know. ❤️

Today he didn't let me out of his sight. 😂

#Max is all #Tuckered out #Tonight

Our #Woodland #Walks run a little longer on the #Weekend. Somewhere in the #Marsh, he must have got into some open #Water. So that meant a trip to the #Bathtub... Max is not a fan.

Just now, I found him #Snuggled on #HisChair in the #Library. It's #Funny to think I ever thought that spot would be #Mine.

Here's Max imitating a deer staredown...

I give it a solid 8.

Another #MaxMorning.

After a lovely #Walk in the #Snowy #Woods, Max found a patch of #Mud when we got home & tried to #Prance through the house like he was #Clean as a #Whistle.

This led to our first #SelfServe #Bath at #BubblyPaws, which was WAY better than using the shower.

I especially loved Max's Beyonce pose during the blow-drying.

Another #MaxMorning. 🍾

Yesterday I stopped by #Goodwill to look for some #Old #Christmas #Albums. 🎄

Max loves #Goodwill because he knows I'll bring him a new #Toy.

Yesterday's find was a #Mastodon!! 🦣
(I think it's actually #Manfred from #IceAge.)

Max likes to #ShowOff his #Treasures.

Today's pic shows him by the #Deck #Door waiting to bring his new #Buddy #Outdoors to #Laud over the #Universe.

Another #MaxMorning. 🙌

Max was #Pointing at a #New #Danger at the #Park the minute we got out of the #Truck.

We didn't stick around long enough to see if there were more of them.😂

Today is super #Chill. Only 5 degrees #Fahrenheit with a #Windchill of -20.

Now we're safely back home, & Max got a nice big #Treat for his #Gallantry.

Max is tired.

This morning he Chaunted a #TennisBall (combo of chomped & taunted 😂) right in front of a #Vizsla named #Dash, who loves #Fetch even more than Max.

Usually, Dash's owner brings a ball & launcher to the #Park. But today, the kids had #NoSchool, so Dash showed up with his boy, who didn't bring a ball.

After an hour, the ball was in #Tatters. I sent it with the boy so Dash could have a Max #Souvenir.

Another #MaxMorning.

Here comes my big #Goof playing #Fetch in the #Snow.
Looks like a #Treat is in order, right?

Very very cold here today.
6" of snow yesterday.

Max had a good layer of snow & #Frozen #Slobber plastered to his mouth by the time we left. #Proof of #Fun.

He certainly is a #Snowdog.
