The Joy of having Two Dogs

Like a parent who can't stop talking about how awesome their kids are, I gotta share how great it is to have my second dog, Max, in the family.  He was a "gift of desperation" from my cousin and his family - as I was about to leave their house after spending a month with them late last year, my cousin's wife Wanda said to me "PLEASE take a dog" (she had a litter of 4 puppies and they were... active, to say the least).  So I got Max, a black standard poodle. 

In a rare effort towards brevity, I'll just say this:  you gotta see Homer (my 10 year old stray) and Max play together.  It brings the biggest smile to my face.  The young dog makes the old dog feel and look young.  The old dog shows patience and playfulness that I aspire to at his age.  Wanna see pictures of my babies??
