Max is 3 years old! (Feb 2010)

Here is Max's birthday sledding party - Cisco has retired from sledding and Zorro is Max's permament sled buddy. It's funny to see how tall Max is next to short little stout Zorro, even though Zorro is "grown up" he will always look like a baby next to Max.

See pretty Max enjoying the snow (look at the big snowflakes!) He is such a sweetheart, and such a mature boy! For his birthday we are going for a long hike in all this new powder we've gotten recently.

Max doing a handstand in the snow (May 2009)

Ok... well he first dug this snow-hole then stuck his whole head in it, but notice how funny that his feet appear to be completely off the ground!

Max relaxing on his trampolines (April 2009 and May 2009)

Here is Max on the old trampoline - before Zorro ate a big hole in it. (bad puppy!)

And here is Max on the new trampoline - hoping this one can live through Zorro's puppyhood. (I know, I'm dreaming... but the boys sure love their cots). Isn't his big smile so precious?

Beautiful Max (March 2009)

Here is the most gorgeous photo of Max in Sedona, Arizona. Doesn't his red coloring look just awesome with the background in Brad's mom's courtyard?

Max is 2 years old! (Feb 2009)

We are trying to train Max to be a lead dog - he isn't used to being out in front, and really wants to know what Zorro is doing behind him! But Cisco is too slow to be the leader so it has to be Max! It's a lot of fun running the three in harness... they sure fly! (scary fast on corners!)

Max at 21 months old - he goes "pro" with some experienced sleddogs!

Max joined up with up to 100 siberians at the Rocky Mountain Siberian Husky Club's ATV outing - and got to run alongside some *real* sleddogs. He was awesome and had the best time!

Remember when I was a puppy and Cisco and I walked with our fearless leader Paco (see this section from my second week in the new pack)? Well look below - in the left photo was Paco as the leader and me in the puppy position at the right. Then look at the right photo - I have taken Paco's position in the pack as the leader, and new puppy Zorro is in the "puppy position" behind me, the leader! Cisco is still in his same position, both then and now.

And here are some more pictures of Max and his buddy Zorro (look how big Zorro is getting) - still sharing a bed!

Touching noses... brotherly love.

This month features Max and Zorro playing chase! on youtube

Also here are a couple of cute pictures of Max and his new best buddy Zorro sharing their toys:

Max got a little brother named Zorro for his birthday! As you can see, they both share the love of a great stick!

And here are the best buddies sharing a bed!

Max at 17 months old - hiking, scootering, and videos!

The highlight of our month was Brad and Max hiking over a mountain between Breckenridge and Copper. Once over 12,000 feet, Max kicked it up a notch as the temperatures cooled.

We also learned how to put things on youtube this month - haven't figured out the sound yet but we do have some funny videos - follow the links below to see them:

And here are some silly videos of Max and Cisco playing - be sure to to insert a mental 'woooo' in your head every time you see Cisco raise his head

Max at 16 months old - his 1 year Maxiversary of joining our pack!

Some fun photos from a hike where Max found some old cabin remains and and old mill (June 2008)

Max at 15 months old

Max has a new Diggler scooter (we got the off-road DSK)! We hope to get better pictures as time goes on.

Max hiked to 11,400 feet today (June 7) and found snow. And a restaurant (at the top of a ski lift). Ahhh.

Max sure does love his sticks!... (Apr 2008)

Max at 13 months old

See Max and Cisco in a Nylabone Chewoff (Mar 2008)

Max at 1 year old - wow time flies!

Little Max is now 1 year old - what a big, mature boy he's become.
Here we go, sledding with Cisco - 2 mature sleddogs!

Getting into high gear - Max has become a "sledding machine", Cisco can barely keep up... (and mom was lucky not to wipe out trying to take this picture while driving the sled).

What a nice focus, talk about paying attention!

Oops, puppy moment... So much for the "grown up and mature" talk ;-)

Max's first year

To see the fun we had in Max's first year with us, here are the stories.
