This is Maxx!






This is what Dave got for Father's Day (a little early) He really wanted one, imagine that!, and since we never say "No" to each other.....He is a seven week old mini doxie. He is very cute, sweet and cuddly. Madi and Lindsay came with me to pick him out and he was the unanimous favorite. Madi calls him "putty" and has been very gentle with him. However, we know better than to turn our back on her ;)
All the dogs seem to like him, well ok they are actually completely indifferent towards him unless he thinks about looking for a likely place to nurse. He started his crate training last night, he hated it, and proceeded to cry for an hour. He did eventually settle down and slept until 4:30 this morning. Dave took him out and then he put him back in the crate, a couple of minutes more of the crying and then back to sleep until 6:15 when he decided he was ready to be awake!
We made him this little shirt/coat out of one of Dave's sock because he kept shivering when we took him outside to go to the bathroom. We are used to hairy puppies so this was the best we could come up with given our lack of experience. Dave embellished it with "Tap Out", naturally.

Side Note: We know we are crazy, we will start saving for therapy soon :)
