Well - we're starting our 4th day together and everything's still hunky dorey! Max hasn't destroyed a single thing - except perhaps my husband's bamboo plant this morning. He jumped the fence and peed in the bamboo garden, but I don't think that will hurt anything.

It's funny watching jake's behavior now. Jake's 7 years old and has never showed the slightest interest in rawhide chew toys. Now that Max has one, Jake keeps stealing it! He's like a little kid - only wants what the other one has.

We're not having any problem keeping Max exercised either - surprisingly, he and my son have become attached at the hip. Kyler brings Max everywhere he goes, and I practically have to fight him for time with the dog! I don't know how he's going to feel when Max starts travelilng with me.
