Long Lost Brothers

Well, at least one of you wondered who Winston is. However, Winston is out and Max is in.

I was looking for another dog to be a companion for Buddy. I kind of liked Pugs and I was thinking of getting one and naming him Winston (after Winston Churchill). But then I got an interesting email today.

It was from the Safe Haven animal shelter and they wanted to know if I would adopt Buddy's brother. I found out Buddy had a brother and a sister. Originally all three puppies were found in a Dumpster when they were 9-weeks old. How horrible. What kind of low life would do that?

Anyway they had adopted out the brother and sister a month before I adopted Buddy last May. The people who adopted Buddy's brother (Max) could not take care of him anymore mainly because they couldn't handle him. They were considering putting him down but they didn't want to do that.

So I adopted Max. Max has very little training and no social skills with other dogs. He immediately tried to attack Buddy. So I am keeping them apart until they get use to each other. Otherwise Max is a sweet dog and likes me very much.

Here is Max:

Note that Max has more white hair than Buddy but they both have the single black toe nail on each front foot.

Am I crazy or what. Most of you know how energetic Buddy is. Well multiply that by two. I really have my hands full now!!

I will put a slide show together later with pictures of Max from puppy stage to now.

I hope I get some sleep tonight.
