Perry - "That last picture is hilarious Jen. Epic chair fail."

 :D Is an 'epic chair fail' when she can't get her back legs over the arm of the chair?  :D So then she gives up and decides "What the heck, might as well have a nap"  :D

Yup. A "fail" is when a dog doesn't quite have the ability to use something in its correct form. On the greyhound forum there are dogs with expensive beds with only the dogs head on it, and some dogs sleep on their owners bed but their hind legs hang off cause they haven't figured out how to get them up there. Funny stuff.

Hey Jen,  I guess at this point keeping the puppy off the furniture isn't going to happen!    O:-)  Too cute!

Rrat and Perry, yesterday, Phoebe's second full day. She woke up and was full of energy and vinegar. Then in the early afternoon she slept hard for 3 hours. Then got up went potty, slept 3 more hours, got up had dinner, and kept dozing off all evening. I know that greyhounds are professional sleepers, is this normal for very young danes as well?

I would think so. Greyhounds are well known as the "45 mph couch potato" and they come by that name honestly. I think the bigger the dog it would apply as much. That is one big girl you have there Jen, probably just stopped growing really, and will now start to fill out a little. A lot of energy is expended just walking around when you're that size.

That's my instinct. Also, she's been removed from two other homes. So, I'm thinking all of the newness and excessive sniffing, new food just tuckered her out. I've also noticed that it's the mornings that she is so active and needs other dogs to play with. Katy is to old to play anymore. There is a dog shelter in our town, think I'll see if they have play time for other dogs to visit..

Here you go Jen. Theo at 2 years olf has outgrown his chewing stage.  But any dane when upset with you will get even.  He didn't want me leaving to go to the shrine temple election of officers last night and I came home with this setting on my bed so I could find it.  My 3 month old Red wing work boot.  Guess he got even

Heres the kicker I had it put up from him.  He will look over the house looking for something of mine to get even with no telling how long he looked to find the boot.  It use to be my shrine ball caps He got 5 of them before I finally started putting them in a closet where he couldn't get them.

Ha! Phoebe is doing good. I had a friend suggest getting old basketballs and footballs, deflate them and use them for teething toys. This one was in decent shape for about 48 hours, she does still chew on it. Albeit, you boot is the most costly loss. Yah, so if you're not going to let Theo have that boot, ship it to me  ;)



Also, see the end of her nose... my trainer said to consider having all the pink on her nose tattoo'd black. The vet can do it the same time she gets spayed. Seems that that moist pink part is very susceptible to melanoma and it's hard seeing dogs that have half their noses cut away  :sad:

Ole theo and the boot is just a long string of things he has destroyed.  5 shrine hats several paires of socks several tv remotes a pair of my eye glasses. house shoes couches the list goes on.  But still love him to death

I've got a trainer helping me with Phoebe, not as strong as I used to be.

Congrats Jen,
 Has she done the zoomies yet,Zoomies are when for no reason they have to run at full speed all over the place.

 And it will be a matter of time before you will get another one.We have two now.

Oh No! My miniature dachshund runs zoomies every evening. I can't imagine the destruction wrought by a Great Dane!

Yep!!! Phoebe has the zoomies/leapies LOL

Zooms across the room, jumps onto the sofa, zooms back across the room, leaps onto the over stuffed chair, zooms back to the sofa.. repeat etc.

We've had her two weeks now so I'm starting to catch when that is going to happen, so I run and fling open the sliding glass door, run outside, she zooms after me and zooms all over the backyard.

I also found a fanstasic sofa cover on amazon. Heavy duty, non slip, non skid. It has a light rubber backing for leather sofa's. Brilliant!
