Hi everyone. My name is Max Payne Essig. I was named after one of Mom's favorite Playstation games, Max Payne. But around the house here, I'm known as Mikey Mike ... Dad's favorite name for me. If anyone's ever heard of my brother Eddie, they'll know that Mom and Dad are beagle people. One day, our vet calls Mom and says that he has a beagle at his office that needs a home and she came to mind first. Well, Mom and Dad already had Earnie, Emmy Eddie and Bobby, so Mom tells him that she will try to find me a good home ... huh ... she hadn't met me yet and had no idea what a cutie I was!

So Mom came up to the office with her camera to take a few photos of me so she could show her friends. Well, that did it! I turned on the charm big time! Once Mom met me, it was all over but the naming! I won her over big time. So, needless to say ... here I am ... part of the family! And I am lovin' it!
