Max is such a good boy, and minds really well, but I think he gets bored. If I had 4 children around that would be a big help, but my oldest is 24 this month with a 3 year old of her own and my youngest is 14 and doing his own thing most of the time. I figure the activity in the house with 2 boxers will definately liven the place up!!! Glad to hear your girl likes the snow, that must make it more fun!
