LOL! Love it, love it, love it Lori!!!

Sorry to hear about Dezi

They don't live long enough as it is, then when something takes them even earlier.. well, it's just not fair

Our first dane died suddenly at 20 months due to a brain aneurysm. We had only had him for 8 months, but he was so very special. He was constantly glued to my side. I drove a white Explorer at the time and if I left for any reason he would whine until hubby took him outside so he could look in all the windows of all the white cars within eyesight of our house. Then he would lay by the front door with his chin resting on the windowsill waiting for me. The drool from his chin softened a chin sized depression on that windowsill that I just can not bring myself to fix. Yeah... he's been gone since 2000... sigh...

Now Louie... HE knows he's gorgeous! He's the most confident dog I've ever worked with, which makes him amazing in so many ways, but not mushy, lovey, glued to my hip, needy like Cobi. It's a loving, respectful bond, but he's much more independent.

Exactly, Don, if he were as stocky as a lab, especially while he was still growing, it would be horrible for his joints and I'd have Dane people on my case to take weight off him. lol Thankfully we don't have a barking ordinance here and it's totally up to them to prove it's my dogs barking and even then the worst thing that could possibly happen is going to a mediator. It's just the fact that I know it's not my dogs. I've done everything I can think of to ensure that mine don't bark and come on, they're Danes, they really don't bark much. Our yard borders 4 other yards and all have dogs. I finally left a note on my door saying that if you're here to leave a note about the dogs barking, take a step back, listen, and tell me if it sounds like a Dane or if it is one of the neighbor's dogs. I also left my cell phone number for them to call me so that I could verify and help solve the problem. Funny no one ever took me up on it.

Ok, James is going to kill me with all this dog talk when he gets back!

Sorry James
