Nate has been wanting a german shepherd for months now and he finally got his wish. Maximuss Ceraliuos Barthamual the Third is his full name. Max is four years old, house broken, trained, and is a Gentle giant. He loves to play stick and catch and he will bark on command. He also enjoys riding in the back of the truck and will just hang out in the truck bed hoping we will go on a drive.

I have never really liked big dogs but the moment I saw Max, I loved him. He is an awesome dog and so much fun to be around. It has been so nice skipping the puppy stage and getting a dog already trained.

Nate has been having a blast with him along with the boys. Nate and Justin went on a four wheeler ride with Max and Ruby (Justin's dog). They wore those dogs out and had a great time. We have been enjoying many of our evenings outside playing fetch. Gavin likes to climb all over Max and Owen likes to feed him a piece of dog food one at a time. I have also gone jogging a few times with Max in the morning. Nate took me on a horse ride the other day and Max tagged along. We have had so many great times with Max and look forward to many more.

I dressed Owen one morning and we were about to go somewhere in the car. I needed to water the garden first then we would go. Owen played around the yard while I watered the garden. I turned my head for one minute and he decided to play in the mud. So much for a clean outfit...
