AW: The newest member of our family

[mustloveerica]

Well DH has been dying to get another dog for about a year. I was a little hesitant because we already have a large breed dog, 3 cats and we are trying to add children to the mix. Well after some bad IF news and some emotional weeks DH approached with very carefully gathered research about why we should get this dog. I guess it didn't take much to convince me because he's so gosh darn cute. So here he is...he's 9 weeks old now, a fawnequin Great Dane with two different colored eyes who just happens to be the mirror twin of our other dog ...meet Dexter Dane.

Sister ;-) everyone always thinks she's a boy even when we are on a walk and she's decked out in pink. That's my Bindi Lou. She's a 90 pound border collie/Akita mix so she'll hold her own against her brother until he's about 8 months old and he outweighs her haha.

Stop it. He's so cute!

Now I want another dog.

So...weekly updates please? I'm curious about the growth!

Yes! We are doing growth chart pictures. The one above with Bindi is his 8 week picture. I took a better 9 week one on my nice camera so I will post that one when I get home. I can't wait to see his growth so we're doing a series of photos. He has already gained 4 pounds in the week and a half we've had him. He already outgrew his crate and I had to buy the biggest crate I could find on Amazon, which I'm referring to as a zoo exhibit.

Here's a not so good version of the 9 week picture that I tried to take on my phone. You can already see a huge difference between this one and the 8 week one above.

Also wanted to mention I was soooooo close to stopping by a breeder in a nearby town that had great dane puppies. We've wanted one for ages. But with winter coming, two kooky dogs, and stuff it just didn't seem like the best plan.

Someday we WILL get our great dane.

I hope all your other furbabies get along with him. I love the comparison shot of the two dogs. So cute!

OMG, He is so stinkin' cute.

[RajahMD]

THE CUTENESS IS KILLING ME!

Gah! The pictures of the two of them together are adorable. I've been trying to convince MH that we need a second dog so that our first dog as a playmate. I might use your post as proof.

mustloveerica, seriously, those dogs are precious. Congrats!

I have a thing for big dogs. DHs very good friend from high school breeds them so we got to play with the adults she has and oh my goodness they just have the best personalities. I give DH the credit because he did some serious I research before even approaching me with wanting to get a Dane. He knew what kind of food to feed (protein vs fat %), how much exercise they need and how much is too much (there is such a thing as too much when they grow so fast), how to train Danes, etc. I will say that a Great Dane is a bigger commitment than another large breed. I had no idea they needed special food until DH researched it. But I'm excited. I love me some big dogs.
