Crate Cover & Some New Pics

Ruff-lo everybody. As I promised long ago that I would bring you pictures of my crate cover. It was made by my Mommy's Grandma Jean. She did an absolute amazing job. She is a true sewing machine wizard. Though the fabric that we bought wasn't the first choice of my Daddy it has made the kids very happy. The cost of fabric did astonish my parents a bit. It cost over $70 for 7 yards of fabric. That's neither here nor there now, because it is absolutely amazing. It has given me one of the best looking crates I have ever seen.



I also promised the other day some new pics of myself, which I will now deliver.

Aren't I a handsome fella? Bark at you later.

15 Weeks and Growing

Ruff-lo everybody. It's been awhile since I last barked at you. I've been busy growing, going to puppy classes and the worst of all "the vet." It's has been a busy few weeks, here's a quick review.

My puppy education classes have been going ruff-tastic. I pick up on all my signals very quickly and just love it when my Daddy is pleased with the results. I have the sit, stay, leave it, take it and come command down fairly well. The only signal I have trouble with is down, but I heard a lot of Danes have the same issue. It's just such a long way to all the way down when you are this big. Unfortunately, I had to miss my last class due to being at the vet so long.

My last vet visit I came in it a shade under 33 pounds. Which seems average for my breed. I've been adding 4 pounds per week on average. At this past visit I was put on some medications for what my vet seems to think are little infectious bumps on my face. They don't seem to bother me, but my family and vet don't want them to spread. So I was put on some fancy, light-sensitive antibiotics and a cream to put directly onto these bumps. Other than that I am healthy as a horse and starting to look like one also.

The family life has been pretty hectic also. We are getting ready to move to a new house along with trying to spend as much time as possible outside.

In a couple weeks I'll be getting my rabies vaccine and then I can finally go to the groomer. My nails are in desperate need of a trimming. I'll have new pics posted soon. Bark at you later.
