Bazino's loving smile this morning was a little more restrained than when we first got him.

I gave Mr. Archibald a bath today while his dad was at work. I love having those sliding glass doors on the tub. Even though he's usually cooperative about bath time, it's nice to not have to worry about him hopping out while I go to fetch my camera ;)

 

By the way, that Martha Stewart shampoo makes him SO SOFT!

In typical third-child fashion, Spike Dennis has been photographed far less frequently than his sister Delphine or his brother Salvador. Nor was his personal photoset graced with a pretentious foreign-language title. Off-camera, however, he's completely stolen the show.

Pippi is one of my son's class rats. She and her sister Squeaky are visiting us for Thanksgiving. Here, my wife holds her shortly after she has enjoyed a carrot.

 

This shot was in iffy light and handheld, so is far from ideal in many respects. But I thought the rat looked cute.

my dog Turbo was amazed at the bouncy black dog and the floppy beagle cutting sic on HIS beach.

Frisco uses his invisibility cloak.

I found some old photographs of Molly as a baby, I cannot believe this is over 13 years ago. She is so small. I think what is worse though is the furniture. I miss her.

Panting and drooling and generally making a mess. I don't think he cares

Pronunciation

Great Dane

 

Description

The Great Dane is a giant dog that combines nobility with robustness and power with elegance. It has a long narrow head with an accentuated frontal stop and a rather large nasal canal. Its neck is long and muscular and its front legs are perfectly straight. It has muscular thighs and round feet with short, dark nails. The Great Dane's tail is medium-length, reaching to the point of the hock. Its eyes are round and usually dark - with a lively intelligent expression. Its ears are either cropped rather long, pointed, and carried erect, or left natural. Its well developed white teeth must close in a scissors bite. All Danes have short, thick, shiny, close-fitting hair. The color of the coat indicates the variety, fawn, brindle, black, blue, mantle harlequin and sometimes merle. Although not a recognized color, chocolate does occur in a recessive gene. Merle is a common result of harlequin breeding, but it is not a recognized color. Black coats and dark eyes, while blue Danes may have lighter eyes.

 

Temperament

The Great Dane is a gentle giant. Dignified, kind, sweet and affectionate, it is playful and patient with children. It loves everyone and needs to be around people. The Great Dane does not bark much and only becomes aggressive when the circumstances require it. A steady dog, responsible and dependable. Brave and loyal, it is a good watchdog. Because of his giant size, the Great Dane should be thoroughly obedience trained when young so it will be manageable when fully grown. Teach this giant dog not to lean against people, especially children. The objective in training this dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined. You and all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. That is the only way your relationship can be a success. Dogs who know their place below humans in the pack order will be good with children. If you are not a firm, confident, consistent pack leader who knows how to correct the dog when he is showing signs of aggression, the dog can be dog-aggressive, especially with same sex dogs.

 

Height, Weight

Height: Dogs 30-34 inches (76-86 cm.) Bitches 28-32 inches (71-81 cm.) Weight: Dogs 120-200 pounds (54-90 kg.) Bitches 100-130 pounds (45-59 kg.)

Dogs of even larger size are more prized.

 

Health Problems

Not a long lived breed. Be careful to buy from a conscientious breeder, as some very poor specimens are being sold to the unsuspecting public. Beware of hip dysplasia; buy only from OFA certified stock. Also prone to bloat, tumors, heart disease, and tail injuries. Do not jog with this dog until it is at least one year old.

 

Living Conditions

The Great Dane will do okay in an apartment if it is sufficiently exercised. It is relatively inactive indoors and does best with at least a large yard.

 

Exercise

The Great Dane needs plenty of exercise. They need to be taken on a daily long walk.

 

Life Expectancy

The average is under 10 years, however some can live to be 12-13 years old.

 

Grooming

The smooth short-haired coat is easy to groom. Comb and brush with a firm bristle brush and dry shampoo when necessary. Bathing this giant is a major chore, so it pays to avoid the need by daily grooming. The nails must be kept trimmed. This breed is an average shedder.

 

Origin

Incised on some Greek money dating back to 36 B.C. is the image of a dog very similar to the Great Dane of today. The Great Dane is known as the "Apollo of all dogs." In 407 A.D. German Gaul and part of Italy and Spain were invaded by an Asiatic people (the Alans) who brought with them powerful mastiff-like dogs. In Germany especially, where these magnificent animals capable of overcoming bears and wild boars were much admired, a process of selective breeding was begun. The dogs were crossed with Irish Greyhounds, and the issue was the beautiful, large, thin, agile dog known today as the Great Dane. Despite the fact that they are called Danes in English, these dogs have nothing to do with Denmark. Some of the Great Dane's talents are tracking, watchdog and carting.

Staying close to her mom.

When we were at this spot on our hike, I couldn't help but call it "Pride Rock". These two standing up there totally reminded me of the scene from Lion King where Mufassa is explaining to Simba where he is and isn't allowed to go.

Man, I wanna watch that now! Lol

I needed to escape and get out of the apartment today, so we went to Brindles for some wonderful ice cream and sorbet. They really have some of the best I have ever had...

A girl sitting close by... God Bless her and all, but was talking just like a valley girl, 90 miles per hour and used the phrase "Oh my God, like..." probably 10 times in under two minutes. Neither of us could keep a straight face to say the least... t'was very entertaining.

This was the best pick from my panning attempt... it's a lot harder than I thought it would be. I need more practice.

I dont know why he looks so guilty, but it's a cute pic. Kane is now 26 weeks and 80 lbs.
