Hi everybody! Maxwell is still gowing at 18 months old! His bones are getting thicker and he's getting a little tubby. My vet said he's a bit fat....Can you guys easily feel your dogs ribs? We cut his food back a bit and are exercising him more. One big thing that happened is that he was in a Christmas parade!!! He was excited and hard to handle at first but he came around. He's pretty darn strong and could easily pull me around if he wants to but he wasn't too bad. There were thousands of people screaming Beethoven!! The kids love him and the parents seemed to like him a lot too. I can't get over how many people ask me if he's a newf? Unfortunately we are putting him in a doggy resort for Christmas
We go to my Mom's every year for Christmas and this year I decided to give her a break from Maxwell. She's not scared of him but this whole menopause thing is totally stressing her out and she doesn't need the added stress. It's supposedly a five star pet resort. At night he will sleep in a 4' by 8' room with in floor heating and during the day he plays with the other dogs all of the time. I'm sure he'll love it but we haven't spent one night with out him since the day we got him!!! I'll miss the huge lump in my bed!! It's getting tight in our Queen size bed. Me Hubby, my cocker, my cat and now Maxwell!!! We're like sardines!! Well, here's some shots of him now. Enjoy.
