Well, we finally did it. We have added to the family!!! Meet Max! He is our 10 month old beagle/basset mix puppy. He has been a great dog so far. He came potty trained so that was a big plus and surprise. The girls love him to death and he has settled right into the family. Max is a rescue dog from the local Animal Aid Society. He was well taken care of there and has had a great transition into the house. He had a great visit with our local vet and is as healthy as they come. He is happy and fun loving. More to come...I'm sure!
