Just like we did with Duke, whose full name is The Duke of Earl, we've given our newest little boy a special name too. His full name will be Count Maximilian, but we'll call him Max for short. He was born on 8-23-08, so he's about 4 months old. The oldest of the dogs available. We got him from the same place where we originally got Duke almost 5 years ago. He's a Schnoodle. A cross between a Schnauzer and a Poodle. As you can tell, the kids are already in love with our little addition. He and Duke have been getting to know each other for about an hour now and it's gone really well. They've been chasing and sniffing each other without any sort of territory issues at this point.
Since we had planned on adopting a girl pup to even out the boy-girl ratio, we had no name pre-chosen. While waiting for Max to finish his bath I threw the name out at George and he originally turned it down. Upon further reflection during our drive home, we decided we couldn't think of anything else more fitting and so Max it is.
We're looking forward to many happy years and memories with both of our furry boys!
