Hi Andrea - it's been awhile. I wanted to send you a recent pic of Max standup paddle boarding with the kids. It's hard to believe he will be 2 in a few months. He has a lot of puppy energy still but has such a great disposition - he is so friendly and sweet. We are down at the beach for most of the summer and every time we walk him we get stopped several times and told how he is such a good looking dog. The other week a mom came over to him with her son who was in a wheelchair and although max has a tendency to jump up on people sometimes, he stood calmly next to the boy who petted him and then max put his head on the boys lap - it was really sweet to see how he made this boy smile.
