Happy 3rd Birthday

This is Max chillin.... He is at the cottage now enjoying his birthday!

Three years ago you came into the world. How did time go by so fast? Above is a photo of Patches and Abby celebrating their 3rd birthday! Aren't they adorable?

Got email from Max's family. Here it is:

Hi Darlah and Nathan,
I cant believe 3 years has passed since our baby Max was born. Sorry it has been so long since we communicated. Max is such an incredible dog and loves his 2 cousin doggies at the cottage. Max still loves the water and if you say "boat ride" he bolts to the shore and waits impatiently haha. Max is so calm and easy going and sleeps silently for 3 hours when we drive to the cottage, one short pee break and he is excited to jump back in and get going.
He is still a cheeky puppy and the neighbourhood all love him as he greets and kisses everyone... I have never seen a dog lick so much it is adorable. Bill and Max are the closest as he spends more time at the cottage with him.. Bill can't walk anywhere without Max following - which is funny as one of the best pictures you took was Max kissing Bill on the nose on one of our puppy visits. . He gets along with every single dog and we often told what a lovely nature he has.
Hannah works at our local animal hospital and gets alot of exposure to dog personalities boarding and getting medical attention and still says we are so lucky to have such a calm loving dog you can take anywhere and that is full credit to you both!!!
I hope you are both keeping well and thank you both again for giving us the sweetest most loving doggie we have ever had. When Max returns from the cottage we will send a photo...xx
Best wishes Kerry, Bill and Hannah

Happy third birthday little darlings!

So happy to see photo's of Max's siblings...They are so cute and i notice their fur is very straight, our Max has very curly coat so even when groomed he is very wavy....

I truly hope one day we can all visit Nathan and Darlah.

Best wishes

So glad to hear about Max - Abby's brother - Happy 3rd Birthday! Hope to see you again one day?
I am also thankful to Darlah and Nathan and of course Jeannie for birthing such an incredible, loving dawg! Abby brings such joy into my life. And my family adores her!

Wonderful to hear about Max, Kerry. Jeannie has lovely pups. Patches is very loving and laid back too. She loves everyone and everything. We are very lucky. Happy Birthday to brother Max from Patches (and Patches' brother Radar)! ❤️

Celebrating our loving canine companions happens every day, but it is extra special on their birthdays. Happy third birthday to all of you.

Happy 3rd Birthday to Jeannie's beautiful babies Patches, Abby and Max!
Hope you have a wonderful special day.

Kerry: Jeannie has curly hair but the weight and blow drying straightens it - not totally but mostly. The shorter the hair the more wavy curly hair will appear. I like his hair and he's a handsome guy!

Kerry, Max is so adorable. Just love his colouring and curls. He is a beauty. Hope to see him in the flesh soon. Love to all, Ang, Ed, Patches and Radar xxxxxxxxxx

Yes, Abby's hair is also curly. It only looks straight after a grooming!
She is my pride and joy!
Max is so precious! Love to see him one day?

Happy 3rd birthday to all Jeannie pups. It was so nice to see Patches and Abbey at the picnic (and Farley of course). It is so nice to hear how gentle Max is. All Talemaker pups are so gentle. In fact I was telling my friends how we had about 30 dawgs playing together at the picnic and they played beautifully and gently.
