I think we all feel like we know each and every one of your Dane babies through the posts and pictures! Glad Poggy is still bringing you smiles...I am still working on getting her big picture framed...already have a wall for it in my office!

My dogs are the same, though they desperately need their toenails trimmed...I feel like a bad mom. They are going Tuesday. Shammy has the same "zest" that Poogy has...loves to get the zoomies, mess up my bed and play.

Bubba Chad is just all about getting love, barking at anything outside the front windows and sleeping.

Got my carpets cleaned today and the dude reccommended a vacume brand to me...guess he wasn't impressed with my housekeeping skills. Oh well, dogs are dogs, I will never have a pristine house. At least they don't use the bathroom inside...just barf now and then and lick brownie mix into the carpet. Guy had never had to treat a brownie mix stain before.

Hope you both are doing well!!!

Coming to this message board & being involved with GDRNT has been a big part of my life for the last year. I feel so lucky to know you through our common love for these gentle giants. I soooooo look forward to any and ALL posts about the LA herd....love all the pictures and can visualize what you type in your updates. I feel like I'm getting to know each of them, from afar. Thank you!! Losing Moose in October was devastating but the friendships from special people, like you and Phyllis really kept me going ..... ultimately making me want to stay involved with GDRNT. I'm now just a dane "admirer" instead of owner....but hopefully that will change this year. I'm still working on hubby to foster but secretly want to be a foster failure immediately. I think he's not too far off from being ready himself. He was flying this weekend and had a Denver overnight. he was walking at this outdoor mall by his hotel (talking to me on his cell phone) and came across this young black dane (2ish). He was going on and on about what a good looking dane he saw and how much he missed Moose. Time will tell....but I know in my heart that I will have another dane or 2 or 3 in my future.

It's so great to hear that everyone is doing well :) With that many Danes in your house it always amazes me how smooth things run there!! They're all very lucky pups (as are you and Phyllis to have all of them)!!

Our house seems so uneventful to yours! Harley just lays around and sleeps all day, Piper won't leave my side, and Tex is usually laying on his bed unless one of us makes a noise and scares him. Then he paces for a while until he realizes that the world isn't coming to an end and he can lay back down. He's such a silly boy! I'll never figure out how a 150lb dog can be such a sissy...hee hee!

thanks paul for keeping us posted. we're all so awed by you guys and the herd. you have the home we would all love to have if we had the courage!

we've all shared some of those pics with friends and coworkers because we know they just can't believe anyone could live with 9 danes (and be rational human beings). glad all are well.

keep the updates and pics coming.

btw, what is the human version of rimadyl? my joints are really bothersome and even the glucosamine is not doing much anymore.

Part of my life stopped when we lost Bullet. My fur son. He and I had a special connection. I suspect very much like you and Moose had. As I've posted before ...I cried more over Bullet than when I lost my mom or dad. I felt wierd, but at the same time I knew what Bullet and I shared was totally different.
Guess it doesn't make much sence....but.....in time you'll know when to get your next Dane. And it will be the right one for you and your hubby :)

As I came to realize......there are more Danes that need our help. What we had ( me and Bullet) was wonderful and will always be that. We can't turn our backs on those that still need. When the time is right.........

Liquid Gell caps..........Aleve !!!!!!!!!!! They work!!!!!!

A nice NSAID :) Actually IBUPROFEN is the counter part to rimadyl......carporfen.

I use ALEVE :)

Aleve is what I use for my headaches....and hangovers. Works every time. I think it has caffeine in it maybe. I don't know but they work really well for me!

You are absolutely right and it does make sense about the differences you felt losing Bullet versus losing your parents. That bond and connection to Bullet (& Moose) is like no other.... I've said this before so forgive me for repeating myself....but Moose was my dream come true. I'm just the anxious one looking to have another chance at a bond like that....while hubby has the practical and financially responsible side wanting to get our ducks in a row first. I get it....just don't like it. This journey will be long but well worth the wait in the end. There will be that special dane (a velcro "shadow") for me someday in the hopefully not to distant future. When he/she finds me....look out...b/c this website will become flooded with posts and pictures:) Thank you for always being so kind and supportive:) Hugs to you and Phyllis and all your furbabies!!

OH? did my ears deceive me? Hangover? You wanton hussy of liquor. LOL

Yes.........I know that feeling too.......what works for me is good old asprin.

Hope you don't mind me teasing you Sara.
You know you're A number one in our book. :)

Paul

Yes, it's true...once in a while I dare say I do partake of the devil's liquid and am punished the next day! I know my halo is tarnished now! :-)
