New Furry Addition

After our loss of Charles we all mourned---we're still mourning.  We'll miss our big boy forever.  Molly, however, got into a deep depression and wasn't eating well and was melancholy all the time.  We felt that she needed a new playmate, so we decided to adopt another Golden. 

Way back last Summer, I had the opportunity to transport a Golden for MTGRR. His name was Maximus, and he was a real charmer.  For some unexplicable reason, all this time later he had not been adopted.  Other than being younger than the age of Golden we typically adopt, Max is practically perfect in every way. 

He joined our family about 3 weeks ago, and has fit in quite seamlessly.  His full name is Maximus Diocletian Hopkins.  It's a little cerebral for a pup's name, but Diocletian is the real life individual that Maximus from the movie Gladiator is based on.

These photos were the ones that I took on Max's transport day.  I think it was in July, but it may have been August.

 

And these are of Maximus in his forever home with us:
