Max has more friends than me!

[Julie and Max]

So I haven't been around posting very much. Living in Canada as I do, I like to spend every minute of good warm weather outside that I can. Winter is always just around the corner here. Max has been making new dog friends all over the place and we often have new and old friends coming over to visit which he always love. Gavin was over to visit us awhile ago, which was fun and a little exciting as Max found a hole in the fence but all turned out well.

Max is also quite the ladies man now. He has several girlfriends that like to come over to play. 

These are the girls, Nelly, Daphny and Kenzie (something weird happened to Daphy's nose in the picture!)

Here is Max playing his favourite game with Nelly. 

Max is taking beginner agility, let me just say he is not the most agile of dogs, but we have fun. My trainer told me Max doesn't know where his butt is, but I am not so sure about that, he sure does swing that doodle butt around a lot when he's playing with his friends. 

My stepdad finished building me a new catio for my cats, one cat loves it, one hates it, but it's great for keeping Max from bothering them.

Here is Max checking it out.

Along with all his more mature friends we also met a little golden doodle named Doug. I met them one day when I was walking, and we got to talking, then we made a play date, and then I ended up dog sitting him every day. It's great having Doug over, it's like having two doodles without the cost. Doug is awesome, and they play really well together.

Here they are playing tug together.

I got a beautiful new backyard swing, and the only problem with it is Max and Doug love to go get wet in the dog pool and then jump up together on the swing and then have a little tussle there, so I hardly get to sit on it!

It's been a great summer so far and hopefully it just keeps getting better.

Thanks Karen, I always love seeing Linda and Gavin and so does Max!

The catio is awesome Laurie, you can't see most of it there, but my stepdad built it around a tree, so they can climb the tree up to a certain point then the branches are fenced in. He also built a little house for them in the tree, and I planted catnip in there, it's a cat paradise. Doug is wonderful, sometimes I wish I could just keep him :D

Thank you Leslie, yes Max is a very happy dood, oh you got your puppy! I need to go check out the updates on your page. :)

Jen, when I take Doug and Max for walks people ask me if Max is the mommy lol. I agree about the swing, no matter where I sit they seem to want to try to play on me, I'm trying to teach them some personal boundaries now, not that easy with these doods as they seem to have none.

Great photos, and it was especially nice to see Max & Gavin together!

I loved all the photos and the update on Max's exciting life :) Wow....he sure does have a lot of friends and how great is it to get to watch Doug and then send him home :) I think you might need to get another swing. LOL

Thanks for sharing all the wonderful pictures. Looks like Max is a happy dood!

Looks like you have a backyard full of summer fun! I especially like the picture of Max and Doug on the swing - it's hard to tell where one dog stops and the other one starts bc their fur blends so well.

And I agree with you about the second swing - you sit on the second swing, doodles pile on, and first swing will sit empty. Or vice versa. ;-)

Thank you Cheryl a friend of mine calls them Max's selfies lol. I am sure if I got another swing they would just want to be on the one that I was on no matter what, that's how those doodles roll!
