Awesome News about Gracie !! :thumbup:

Sooner or later you knew the Golden Terror will show up

Bailey destroyed one of my wife's old slippers last night :shock:

They've been secluded in the house for almost 3 days because of all the rain !

I think he was bored

"The Golden Terror" went to the park, played frisbee, met her peeps and got a bath yeterday.

You know how good a shower feels after being sick in bed? I'm assuming that's how Gracie's bath felt.

Good news bud. Hope it's nothing but good news from here on in.

We got to pick up our new little girl on Sunday. We've decided on Orbit for a name.







She's 8 weeks and still super goofy on her feet.

I'll bet just about everything familiar feels good to sweet Miss Gracie.
Glad to hear the news, this made me smile really big.

Thems are some pretty big feet to manage! I can picture her gallumphing around.
What a cutie! Love the name. :thumbup:

OMG, Orbit!!!

I'm no Great Dane expert, but I would think it's really important to feed her a puppy chow that will somewhat slow her bone growth. A dog her size....she's going to grow like a freaking weed! Good luck and keep us posted. Orbit is a cutie.

Welcome Orbit!!! She is sooooo CUTE!

What a beautiful Dane...such a unique coat, aren't those called Blue Merrill's or something like that. I'm probably wrong, but i remember when i worked @ the dog kennel in Georgia one of those came in and I was blown away by it's beauty and the owner told me that's what they refer to those breed of Danes as...

Rob,
So great to hear of Gracie's well-being. You remained strong through a rough period and you prevailed. Many celebrations and years of happiness to your fam and to your Gracie.

Now, good luck on that move! :crazy:

Austicman

Yeah she's a Merle Dane. We got her from a really good breeder. I was reading the stuff about "greeders" and the lady I got her off takes them back if you can't look after them and has been breeding them for 38 years. Her house is like a church of dane She only lives 10 minutes from home so we can take her back for lots of visits.
She had a folder of all the instructions we need about their growth and what to feed her so we're all set. Her feet are aready as big a Bubba's!! At this early stage we have to her from keep jumping down off things as it jars her bones.
Our two other dogs are a bit wary of her at the moment but their slowly interacting with her more. She's super cheeky already. God's knows what mischief she has planned!!!
I'll try and keep up with pictures as she can grow an inch a day.

Does she have blue or brown eyes?

My sheltie Django is a blue merle.
Here's some pictures of him when we first got him in January 2003.









Wasn't he precious? Isn't that a sweet little face?
Would you believe that it disguised a MONSTER?!?! :shock:
He was one of the smartest and most mischievous puppies I have ever known!
I thought he would never grow up!
He eventually turned into a very sweet-natured boy that we are just crazy about but not before chewing up the hems of the new living room curtains, 2 pairs of Birkenstocks, the corner of my favorite quilt, and countless dog toys. He just about drove me crazy! :crazy:

Here's a picture of of our other dog Pete taken at the same time that Django came to live with us:



We had lost another dog to cancer 4 months before and Pete had been very lonely. I had always known that when you bring a puppy into the house, adult dogs usually don't like it and will take a few days to get used to it. But Pete liked Django right away. He would let Django climb all over him and chew on his ears. He would even roll on his back and let Django "attack" him. Once in a while, Django would get out of line and Pete would put him in his place but that was very rare.

When Django got bigger the two of them loved to play together. I called them my Rough Boys.



We used to talk about them as "brothers" even though they weren't really. In a way, Django was his brother's keeper. Pete had epilepsy and Django would wake me up during the night if Pete was having a seizure. :angel:

Pete went to Dog Heaven in February 2008. We really missed him for a long time.
A year ago we found the one we call the Circus Dog but I'll tell about her another time.

We're all very hopeful! And you have gotten through that period of not knowing what was wrong. I hope that will turn out to have been the toughest phase.
