Max has been living with me for almost a month. He is everything I would wish for in a dog. If I was not returning to work and had a big garden, I would just bite the bullet and have him as my forever dog. Max and Alice the cat continue to get on fine. The cat is the tease and I do always keep an eye out incase she starts going mental around the place. I never leave them alone together, she goes into the kitchen when I go out. I have spent a lot of time with Max, so I can see that he is a dog that thrives on attention and would not suit a house where everyone is out all day. He needs plenty of exercise, which is easy in big open spaces as he has great recall, but won’t always drop the ball. Two balls makes life easier. He ideally needs 3 hours walking running each day with a little late night walk as I don’t have the garden to let him out. He can safely go out with me to front of the house which is a cul de sac. I have no worries about him running away as long as he has company. He has met 12 week old twins and a few toddlers. He is not really that interested in the babies but absolutely loves the older children who can run and play ball with him. Whoever rehomes Max will be getting a lovely dog, who will be so loyal and loving. I wish it could be me.
