Family Reunion

At the beginning of October, we were invited to a puppy meeting by the owner of Canagold. We were very eager to meet Max' siblings as well as see how they would interact with each other.

It was a very fun afternoon and I think everyone had a great time. I do wonder if the humans or the dogs had the bigger blast.

The actors:

• Saga (the mommy), Tanya (an auntie, I think, as she has the same father as Saga), Tazza (half sister as they share the same mother). You can read about these lovely dogs here.
• Max, Nova, Yatzie, Teia, Tindra, Stella (Max and his sisters. Samos, the other male puppy, was the only missing one). About 5.5 months old.
• Nikki and her daughter Luna, golden retrievers.
• Minnah, Belgian shepherd/Malinois puppy, about 3.5 months old.
• Oh yes, the owners of all these fine dogs and puppies.

Max was a little wary at first, as he usually tends to be. However, it did not last long and soon enough, he was running around and playing with his siblings and the other canine guests.

He happened to be the only male dog during that day, and he got chased around quite a bit.

The puppies are patiently waiting in line for the privilege of being petted.

Max is doing his funny face to make his siblings laugh.

She looks funny!

Niclas thinks he can be a flock leader. Minnah seems to be about to prove him wrong.

Welcome Home, Max!

After about 2 months of waiting and 2 hours of car, Max is finally home!
He was very quiet and well behaved in the car (for the most part).

Have you noticed his eyes? They went from blue to green! They will change one last time and turn brown within a few weeks (or a few days?). II find it quite fascinating (and very pretty, although I wish they could stay blue or green, but he will be as gorgeous with brown eyes, of course).

Aside from marking Niclas' mother's rug as his own, he has been very good so far with doing his business outside. Then again, I've spent quite some time with him in the grass. I think he was having quite a blast! He has fallen asleep just outside the door when Niclas tried to take him for a walk, so I moved him inside his crate.

He looks so tiny in his big crate. Soon enough, he's going to fill it up pretty well.

Little Max also received a parting gift from his mother Saga. A green toy to chew to his heart's content and a few cookies for when he has been a good boy.
