OMGoodness opening your thread and seeing Max ahem, Feisty Max just made my heart leap at his cuteness! What a precious BFF to fill the hole in your heart left when Maggie Mae went to the Rainbow Bridge... Our beloved pets that we lose never leave our hearts but there is such a huge vacuum when they leave.
I'll bet that you'd forgotten how much energy a puppy has in bursts, then a power nap and they're back at their job of being cute! I'm very happy for you.
