Max is almost 6 months old now.  It’s crazy how big our little yellow lab puppy has gotten.  He’s about 45 pounds.  He already out weighs both the kids.  I take him out every day and we usually go by our local dog park.  He has a best friend.  I didn’t know dogs could have best friends but Max totally does.  Her name is Maddie and she is a 9 month old husky X.  They are crazy when they get together.  They wrestle and chase.  It’s hilarious to watch.
