....I hopefully will be buying a house soon..next year or 2..and at that point I decided that I would like to resuce a dog from a shelter...since we will have a backyard I am thinking about getting a larger dog for my bf..lol..but also for Maximus...because he made girlfriends with what looked like 60lbs. of golden retriever and all the big dogs at Petsmart (they had a photographer there )..were really gentle with him...lol
