There once was a dream that was Maximus...

1st let me say there are no new pictures because the computer we have now is ancient, and we have no clue how to load photos. I miss our Mac.

Now to the main news...

After our little Maximus showed a little aggression to our children (and myself) by growling, we were a bit worried. And please know that I don't mean cute little 'play with me growling' but mean growling. I called a local vet and she said that wasn't normal at all. She gave me a few things to do and said if it persisted that it was a major issue. Duh right.

Well, I told Clint I felt we had to make a decision a little faster than that. Because what if we kept him and tried to work it out and he didn't improve? The longer he was in our house the more attached Aslan would be. So we made a choice to put him on Craigslist.

I prayed that if the Lord knew he wasn't a good fit for our boys to send someone. Within an hour or so a woman contacted me. She had older children and they just moved to the country. They were wanting him to guard goats. Yay! Perfect fit for Maximus.

But then I wondered if I was making a mistake until... Maximus bit Abraham in the face. :(

So for those of you that are thinking 'I told you so'... here you have it. Please don't call us and tell us that :)

I guess we will keep looking, or maybe wait until the boys are a little older.

I'm a fan of waiting. But we'll see.

I am so sad that Maximus didn't work out! But believe me, I understand. You have to find the right dog for your family! Hope to see you soon :)
