What have you been up to Max?

Once Max hit about 8 months, he's been a lot more mellow. He loves to lie around the house and just chill. I love that...

He's also been finding new little nooks to cuddle up in.

His first rainy day, he sat and stared out the window...and barked a little.

Max calls this his "Blue Steel"

A lot of my friends have been inquiring about how i got Max to look THIS sexy! I told them "Oh My Dog! Photo" was responsible for this photo and all credit goes to them. If you're interested in getting your pooch to look this posh? Contact them here. They are the sweetest team ever and they are located in Encinitas (North San Diego).

Max's exciting week...

Max had a fun playdate with Jobi (Constadine & Jessi's pooch):



Loved spending time with his Aunty Liz:



Max had a long, active weekend and finally relaxed when he got home:

Max, the pretty boy

I made an appointment with a photography studio in Encinitas called OhMyDog! Photography. I admire their work and decided to have Max photographed while he's still a young pup. I had such a great experience with them...if you're in the Southern California area, you should definitely check them out.

Here is a candid moment from the day of shoot:

Good News!

The doc called in and said the removed growth was benign! YEA!
The growth was identified as a Histiocytoma.

Max is excited to hear the news! (phew)

Max's Battle Wounds

Max had a growth on his neck that we noticed on our Pismo Beach trip. It was small then, but we made a vet appt nonetheless so they could check it out. They said it seemed harmless and to monitor it. It tripled in size over 2 weeks so we scheduled his neutering to be half a month earlier so we could remove that foreign mass at the same time. We are getting a biopsy of it and should receive the results in a week or so.



We brought him home the day after the surgery. He spent the night at the vet so they could monitor him closely. He seemed in such high spirits. The e-collar doesn't really bother him which i was surprised at. He slept most of the day when we brought him home.
