Introducing Maxx & Duke




Mom and I would like to introduce everyone to Maxx and Duke, the latest additions to our Browntown family. They came to live with us last Friday and are settling in quite nicely. Maxx is the sweet old guy with the white face. He's 11 or 12 yrs. old and quite the character. He immediately let us know that he enjoys anything soft: squeaker toys to balls of mom's yarn. So far no damage to any of her projects, although he eyes them longingly. Duke is Maxx's best friend and sticks to him like glue. Duke is about 6 - 7yrs old and is a HUGE boy! While we haven't been able to get an accurate weight on him, records show that he's somewhere around 125lbs. Fortunately he's a sweetheart and not the least bit aggressive but rather mild mannered. They were both rescued from a Golden rescue outfit in West Virginia and both are quite happy to live in Browntown now. We (and they) hope to see you all soon.




Both of the guys have found the fish barrell and enjoy many long drinks from it. The fish doesn't seem to mind.



Maxx has a very unique "Angel-like" personality. You kids all remember Angel? and her total disregard for personal space? Well Maxx has that same personality. I've wondered over the last couple of days if Angel has been reincarnated, or has she sent Maxx to us? In any event, he's very entertaining to be around as you can see from his performance when I tried to pose him.














Duke on the other hand is quite content to just sit and look regal. Quite a handsome fellow isn't he?

Both have been groomed and vetted. They look beautiful and, more importantly, are as healthy as can be expected considering their age and their recent ordeal and adjustment to a new life. Duke is quite a specimen and the groomer apparently had a good time with him. Maxx's personality continues to come out more and more - he is a really funny character! A yarn dog!
