Max

Max and Maya are getting along great. They have some sharing issues with their toys. Maya wants whatever Max has and Max whats whatever Maya has.

First Days

Maya is 2 months older than Max and twice his weight. Maya was happy to have Max as a play toy. Max stood his ground and snapped at Maya a few times. Max is more mellow than Maya but when he would get hyper he would trigger Maya and Maya would come back with twice the force. We crate trained Max like we did with Maya. We even had to use the crate to put Max in when Maya would not leave him alone. When Max is not eating or teasing Maya, he is sleeping.

Meet Max

We found Max online in the classifieds. Max was 9 weeks old when we got him. His mom is a yellow lab and his dad is a chocolate lab just like Maya's parents. Max was born on Valentines Day. The same day we got Maya. Cool huh?

Another one?

From the moment we got Maya, my wife was saying that we need to get a play mate for her. I was hesitant on getting another dog so quickly. At 4 months old, Maya has a ton of energy and goes non stop until 10PM. I then agreed with my wife that we need to get her a play mate. We decided on looking for a male chocolate lab in case we wanted Maya to be a mom some day. So, the search began.

First Dog Beach Trip

At 4 months, Maya has now had all her shots and can go to the dog beach and to the dog park. Since we don't have a pool, this was Maya's first exposure to swimming. I carried her into the ocean several times and had her swim back. She did not like the water much. If I threw a ball or frisby into the water, she would not go into the water to get it. She had more fun playing in the sand with the other dogs than playing in the water.
