Max's First Day

Yesterday, we brought home our new Great Pyrenees puppy. We got him from family friends in Harrison County that also raise boer goats. We went for a puppy so naturally Rachel took more of an interest in the little boer buck in the pen with the pups.

But, she picked out her puppy and on the way home, with him yowling in the back at the top of his puppy lungs for mile after mile, she decided to call him Max. Whether it was after the boer buck, Max, or Max for her favorite show (Max and Ruby) only Rachel knows.

We finally arrived home and the first thing Max did when we opened his crate door was crawl under the (still hot) car.

Even Pepper came over to coax him to come out.

Snuggles with Gram are a comfort to little puppies as well as little girls.

There was no shortage to pets and snuggles.

Today he was a little more settled in and began showing his little big dog personality. He enjoyed playing with Ginger and followed Rachel up and down the driveway on her tricycle. Rachel gave him the farm tour today where he slopped through the mud. I think he's going to fit right in...
Good thing he's an outside dog, though...he seems to have a fondness for shoes.

Even Pepper played with Max this evening. She was having a pretty good time, until he thought the white tip of her tail was a chew toy. Then Pepper was done playing with the puppy.

Welcome home, Max! We do adore you already!
