About 5:45 PM.. Chip and Hunter start barking and there's a beautiful BIG Brindle Great Dane in my yard. I see a collar, so go out to check tags and of course none except a Petsmart grooming tag. So Grammy debates whether or not to take the chance and bring her in. That is about 300#s of dog flesh versus 102#s of Grammy flesh. Since the boyz are neutered and she's young, I get her into the garage and water her and give her a few kibbles. Then I let the boyz meet her and Hunter says " What fun"....so all come into the house. All's fine...except the wading pool was set up on the patio and both she and Hunter have a great play romp in and out of pool and through the house. Well. I don't compare to New Orleans , but the house is drenched.!! I've called around and drove around and checked Petfinders.com and posted. While I was driving around, she jumped the fence but was at the front door when I got back. Tomorrow will call all animals controls, have her checked for a chip at my vet, and check with petsmart in case they know her. I haven't checked to see any spade scars yet...the house is a Zoo !!!! Lord, I hope she doesn't sleep with her family as the 3 will get my twin bed tonight and I'll sleep on the floor !!! Sigh....maybe a glass of whine will help.
Grammy's cup has runneth over !!

Now that I've been around her more I'm wondering about her breeding. What do GD ears look like when not clipped ?? When I errect them she is GD... but they flop over. She's a brindle but darker than most I've seen. Is there a breed I'm not familiar with that looks GD but isn't ??? She's not mixed as far as I can see. She's Gd dane body, head , face, tail etc.
Yes, twin bed. Chip usually starts out with me, but after a little rubbing and lovin' gets hot and goes to the floor to guard my bed. In the AM, he's usually on his pad beside my bed. Hunter ( when here, which he is now ) stays on my bed all night long .... glad when Chip goes off and with a sigh spreads out. Will be interesting what " Tiny" (LOL!!!!) does. Right now all three have crashed by me and the 'puter.... I'll put a quilt out for her and hope for the best. She's very good and quiet when not playing... gave me her paw tonight, and when I said " other paw" gave me the other. When I take her in to check on a micro chip tomorrow, I'm anxious to get her weight....she's huge ! Hope tomorrow's headlines don't say " Elderly lady found dead in bed smothered by a golden, a lab and a great dane" !!!
My GD was a very dark brindle. He was a great dog. Very calm when not playing. I have been laughing the whole way thru this. And GD's do love to play in swimming pools, And they can sling the drool. But wonderful companions and friends. I bet his owners are missing the poor baby. if you can't find the owner's, you must get a bigger bed. They love to stretch out and poke you with their feet. And can sometimes push with the feet. They are bed hogs. HeHeHe
