my puppy
here are pictures of my great dane puppy, jake. i have a few more pictures to upload to the site - he's growing pretty quickly (at 4 months of age he's now 60 lbs), though i can't tell all that much since i see him every day. i really only realize it when he can reach something he couldn't get to before.

there are a few rules in the house - he can't get on any of the furniture (a bummer, i know, but my husband is allergic and extensive contact with fur/dander makes him itch), no eating people food, and no licking the mac! yet again, my husband thinks i'm crazy - whenever jake comes near me when i'm on the couch with my powerbook, i say, "jake, no licking the mac" when he gets close. he's learned pretty well now, just from the tone of my voice.
there will be no drool on the powerbook!

That's a beautiful Dane, macLC40!
I want to get one once I get into a place that allows small horses as pets.
Did you get him locally? I've heard it's tough to find good breeders in the US - they're short lived enough as it is and I don't want one with lots of health problems from inbreeding.

My Puppy
This is Chick. She's a chocolate lab. Very sweet dog and she still thinks she's a lap puppy. Her favorite drink is coffee and her favorite food is grilled steak. I love her and she loves me so much. She cries when I go to work and nearly does flips when I get home! Her hobbies include ball chasing, squirrel chasing and lifting girl's skirts with her nose so that I can have a peek. Very well trained puppy.

yeah, we get that a lot. he's a blue dane, so his coloring is almost like a weimaraner, although his coat is a darker grey. also, he doesn't have the fully square head and jaw yet that danes have (which he should grow into, based on what his parents look like). that also makes him look more like a weimaraner for the moment. but once he gets to be full-grown and weighs around 150 lbs, i think the confusion will end at that time!

thanks! i did get him locally - out of a litter of 10! check out http://www.danesonline.com - there's great info there and links to breeders and current litters. they're great pets- he's been even better than we'd hoped for. he's so friendly and sweet, and wants nothing more than to hang around us all the time. definitely a good breed if you want a dog that will be part of your family (not to just leave out in the yard, which a lot of people do, unfortunately).
good luck on getting a dane soon! they need less room than you think - they're not like weimaraners where they need tons of room to run around. they're not very high energy, so a few daily walks and some playing suffices most of the time.

Awesome! Thanks for the info.
Right now we can barely have a cat due to the regulations in our complex - once we move to a place with a yard, we're so getting a dane.
oh dear god she's so cute! that looks like my basenji when i get out the scooby snackszyuzin4 said:
This is our basset hound, Vern. We got him a year ago through a basset hound rescue club, who found him at an animal shelter. He's about 2.5-3 years old now. I love bassets...great personality. The only thing that irks me is when people think he's a Beagle. Happens all the time, even though he looks and is 100% basset.

We are 'babysitting' an Australian grass parrot. We also have some budgies, quail and lovebirds. They all seem to get on well with each other (in a large aviary).

anyone ever hear of the term shuteeter? Say it fast...that's what little dogs are. Nothing personal to Little Bear.
