Thank you everyone! I am sorry for the delay in replying, I been trying to keep the puppy busy while she is on a chew fest due to her adult teeth growing in..

Karen congrat's on the sable. He is beautiful! Our new puppy is a female black sable with a small spot of white on her front breast.

Jen thank you for the help, and thank you again! I wish I could keep Maxwell forever without seeing him in such a condition but I know his time is nearing. I just want to make it so his 16 yrs end on a happy note and comfortable one!

I am such a sucker for animals !

Angela thank you, yet I can not crate Maxwell. When we got him he was never crate trained and to be honest with you we can't find a crate big enough to hold him. Maxwell is to long for a crate and with how his legs are I am not so sure getting in and out of the crate. Yet, I think I am going to do what you do but outside of a crate. He likes to lay on soft surfaces so I think I will make a bed like that and put it on his favorite laying place. Thank You

Connie, Thank you for the links! They are very helpful and I will be sure to do my research and puchase a good brand! Thank you so much again!
