Rec

Rec's Happy Ending

We adopted Max (formerly Rec) in July 2016, and every day he brings us so much joy. He's joined our family of 11 rescue cats and another rescue dog, and he just fit straight in.  He and Talley (a one-year-old boxer/pit mix) accepted each other from the get-go and instantly bonded over a shared love of cuddles, play-fighting and pup-peroni. Talley enjoys taking Max for a walk and will grab his lead in her teeth and guide him when we go outside. We're not sure if she's trying to be helpful or just big-sister-bossy!

Max loves car rides, chasing round the yard, and chasing after toys we throw. We can't call it fetch yet because he hasn't mastered the 'bringing it back' bit! He greets each day with a very enthusiastic song and is working on his commands. He's learned 'sit' and 'calm' (we use the latter when he's bouncing up and down with excitement), "let's go", and 'wait' - but just for the count of 5 so far.

He came to us via an absolutely wonderful foster mom, Carrie. We can't thank her enough for all the love she gave him. Max has epilepsy but hopefully is stable now on his meds. He's such a little lover-boy that we can't imagine life without him. Thank so you much CSAC!
