Meet MAX!!!

Benjamin got an extra special Valentine this year from Mommy and Daddy...

a new puppy!

He decided to name him Max.

Max is an all black, male, 9 week old, English Cocker Spaniel puppy from Buerstadt Germany.

He is the perfect puppy in every way!!!

Perfect size, perfect temperament and perfectly precious.

Such a sweet sweet face, and the disposition to match.

His fur is unbelievably soft and shiny and very very black.

He's adorable!

What a terrific playmate he's been already!

He's wonderful with the boys... and already has Chloe smitten.

The feeling is mutual of course.

He already appears to be completely at home and it's only been 8 hours.

He's sleeping at my feet right now as I write this, utterly pooped out from all the excitement.

I'm sure you'll be hearing a whole lot more about Max in the coming days!!!

Oh by the way, his full name is Maximus Gustav Schnitzel Summers

(just in case you wanted to have anything monogrammed for him :))
