H13 posted:Excuse me? So, I didn't post about it but we lost Archer, whom I've posted pics of in here, right at the beginning of all this covid poo poo, we took him to the vet for a suspected bladder infection as he was peeing blood and it turned into finding out he had Hemangiosarcoma. I don't want to go into all the details and poo poo, I just hope we gave him the best life he could have hoped for and we loved him with all our hearts. RIP My Friend  So, I have never had a puppy before, we got Archer when he was 1 from the humane society, so it was already decided we'd get a puppy. I was also pretty dead set on a male harlequin. We thought we weren't going to get another dog till closer to the end of the year, especially after we started actually looking for puppies and found out quickly that to get the dog we wanted we'd have to get put on a wait list from a breeder and hope one comes up. So we found a few breeders in our state and most of them weren't going to have litters until closer to the end of the year, which would've worked out perfectly. So we started our wait. Until I happen to come across a breeder a few hours away that had some puppies, and they have 1 male harlequin available. Immediately we emailed to see if he was still available and some days later a meeting was setup and we had picked up this guy about 2 months ago. Meet Watson  These are from within a few days of us bringing him home https://imgur.com/gallery/UTVAZ5E A few weeks ago https://imgur.com/a/QreKmzN Past couple days https://imgur.com/a/bV089Vz Such a derp lol He'll be 5 months old on Thursday and ready for his next weigh in which I suspect will be around 70 pounds! So ya, Great Dane puppies, certainly a handful! This image sums it up pretty well  If you want more pics he has his own instagram because why not -> watson.thegreatdane

 sorry about Archer. He was a good lad. But I do very much like your new little speckly friend Amythest will be 13 in January if she makes it. She's still able to jump on the bed unassisted, so here's hoping. She's slowed way down over the past few months, but she's like 110 in dog years. Merinath is a baby at almost 3. All he care about is his favorite toy duck and his best buddy. Said friend is Luthin, who will be 2 in February. He runs at the speed of light and it's terrifying. He also can jump Meri from a standing start, like a goddamn hurdle. I've never met such an athletic dog and I think he'd have a ton of fun with agility or flyball if I could find somewhere to do it.

I don't know if anyone else is reading the Lore Olympus comic right now, but I instantly thought of Cerberus just chilling out on the couch and Hades being too soft to kick him off.

Oh, that looks like doggy heaven right there. Tons of space to run around in, plenty of stuff to smell, probably some birds to chase. Dogs living their best lives, right there.

It's the best dog spot in the world at low tides. You can walk out at least a mile in low (1 foot) deep water, nice soft sand and in the summer, the water and wind will keep the dogs cool. There's a lot of people (and dogs) but more than enough space to be on your own, should you want to. Luckily Hana never had the inclination to roll in smelly stuff and has mostly stoppped picking up dead fish/crabs.

Amythest is still doddering along. She can still run, though she doesn't do that too much anymore. She hops up on my bed with absolutely no problem and she yells at the other dogs to keep them in line. She's 12 years, 9 months, and 20 days old today. I see some loss of muscle and a little loss of coordination. Sometimes she doesn't wake up when I first gently poke her to get her up to go potty, but she eats her dinner like a champ and she still come over and slings toys in my face when she thinks I've worked too much. She happily goes on the occasional car ride, too.

I wouldn't think a golden/poodle/lab mix would be that big. dang. Moo is still kicking around at 13+ now! She's snoring super loud over here by my desk and kicks both Lu and Meri's asses daily. I hope she lives to be 90.

This thread may have influenced me in my shelter dog choice. He’s been home less than 24 hours and has settled in perfectly. Absolutely a gentle giant.

Pongo loves his bed/blanket. Every night after I take him out for last call, he lies down on the bed, I cover him up and tuck him in, and he sleeps there all night until I come down in the morning.  It also works really well for tug with the kids; he is so great with them.  He thinks he is a lap dog.
