*gasp!* you have a great dane?? i'm sooooo freaking jealous. i love those dogs! they're so huge and gentle. did you actually buy a full-blood, or just save a dane-mix from a local shelter? that's my only dilemma ... i dont know if i could ever bring myself to spend that much money for a dog when there's so many wonderful shelter dogs that need homes. maybe for a great dane, but that'd be the only exception. ;) i'm too much of a softy (and perhaps too much of a tight-wad? haha) at heart.
We DO have a great dane!! He is a purebreed. He's soooo cute!! I love the *idea* of rescuing a dog, but after rescuing Lucky, who was an adult and already set in his ways and bad habits, I just didn't want to do it again. We need a puppy who will be raised along with Dorian and will be good to him. Loki came from a shelter and is AWESOME, but he was only 10 weeks old when we got him. Plus, the place we got him from was a DUMP, so it was kinda like rescuing ;), we just had to shell out a fortune for him!
gah! as i said, soo jealous. yeah, our dog is wonderful and he's a shelter dog. he was acquired when he was just a wee pup though, so he's really only ever been with us. i'd like to rescue an adult dog someday since they're by far the saddest ... often feel unloved and unwanted - not to mention everyone always wants a puppy instead - but we probably wouldn't get an adult until we've had kids and they're fully grown. we want to get another dog way sooner than that too though, but i dont know if it'll happen. we'll see i guess!
