<----- Another TTA refugee

[Dom]

Last time I was able to coerce the goddess to stand still on the vet scales, she weighed 125 pounds and had maybe 5 or 10 to go before fully grown. Not the biggest of Danes, but on target for a female. Her dog buddies weigh 10 and 15 pounds. The cat weighs 20, a huge black Tom.

I was brought up with Great Danes from a young age.

My first dog was for my 4th birthday and was just a mere spaniel, but when I was 9 we got a male Great Dane which towered over me and my parents have owned one ever since (except their last rescue dog which was supposed to be a Dane cross but turned out not to be, just some small bullmastiff cross, well small to my eyes anyway). As the saying goes, once a Great Dane owner, always a Great Dane owner. I absolutely love their uncropped ears. They are the most delightful things to stroke.

Oh yes, those ears! Hence the Goddess is also known as Velvet. She is my 4th Dane. Danes and German Shepherds, those are my favorites, but I love them all.
