Charlie and Max, the young and the old

Charlie is coming up on two years old. Our 2nd beloved boxer and man is he a riot. He wiggles and snuggles like the best of them - a person trapped in a dog's body.

Max on the other hand is coming up on 15 this year and though he's now blind and can't hear or smell well, it looks like he might just live forever.

Together they have gelled perfectly. Charlie spends his time chasing birds in the back yard (leaping as high as the top of the fence) and talking to us every morning and Max blindly goes after Charlie for about 10 minutes like he did Sam in the old days and spends the rest of his day sleeping in the sun.

One day we will lose Max like we did Sam a few years ago and it will hurt bad. Charlie being a boxer you never know how long you've got. For now our family enjoys them both fully.

Dogs are man's best friend. God's gift to us that demonstrates His never ending love.
