Baby Max

He is just so stinkin' cute! If you've ever had a puppy you can remember how they invaded your senses. That intoxicatedly charming new puppy smell, which helps them bond with their mothers, makes you want to gather them up in your arms, close your eyes and inhale it deeply. And there is nothing as soft as puppy fur bringing forth the urge to touch and stroke its magical feel. Eyes and ears are alert ready for fast and energetic playfulness. If you go all in you'll be met with 28 wickedly sharp puppy teeth. Despite your bleeding fingers and shredded slippers,"there is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face" or falling asleep in your arms.

Max was born on our wedding anniversary and is shown here not quite six months old and in the second day in our household. Oh the magic! 12/10/09
