I don’t think I have told you guys about all of our animals. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We have all of them for at least 3 years, with Smokie, the cat, being our first pet. Our two dogs are Breeze, 10 years, Great Dane and Drake, 4 years, Boxer. They get along so well with the cats, we are very lucky. As you know Great Danes usually live between 8-10 years so Breeze is definitely a senior citizen at this point. We are lucky have cars that are low to the ground so we do not need dog steps at this point but I am sure it will not be long.
We took Breeze to the dog park shortly after we adopted her 5 years ago. It was her very first time at a dog park so she was so excited. Great Danes love to run and run and run and she did. She ran so hard chasing all of the other dogs around and chasing Daddy. She was chasing a little dog and because they can turn very sharply when Danes need a little more warning she was having a blast trying to figure out what that dog was going to do. Well he turned sharp and Breeze tried to follow and she broke her toe. We could not believe it, we had only had for about 2 weeks and it was her first time to the park. Trying to keep a Great Dane on bed rest was not an easy thing to do we had to crate her. She was so sad but at least she had a cushy bed.
