Thank you!!!!

He is a Great Dane. A mad Great Dane right now. I gave him a bath and he seems to think that wasn't part of the agreement. LOL

Oh my, I know, Preppy. I worry about the hip thing all the time. I researched food for weeks before we got him. I keep reminding myself I have to keep him thin. *sigh*

Awww, cutie cute cute!

Better keep him awake as much as you can during the day. He'll be up alll night. Hehehe...

AW!!! I'm so glad you got an intact merle. They have such a sad story. A roommate while back had 2 merles. Didn't dock them or anything. They were precious. They were saved from euth because of their colouring

That is so sad!!!! I can't even imagine that line of thinking. I know they aren't a showable color, but my goodness, I don't expect pets to HAVE to be show quality!!! And, it just happens to be my favorite color!!!

Congratulations, he is unbelievably adorable! I remember reading your post a while back about how excited you were to get him, and there is absolutely nothing in the world that compares to bringing home a new puppy that you've been eagerly awaiting.
Now, just be prepared for him to double in size every 24 hours... LOL, not quite, but my Aussie puppy is now 7 months old and it is so ridiculous to look back at her puppy pictures. Course, I get the same feeling every time I get baby chicks -- how do they start out so small?! (Or in your case, how do they start out so medium and then end up so XXL?)

PS -- My pup's a blue merle, and it is such a special coloring... be prepared for everyone to gawk and stare... and maybe wonder if your dog is really a purebred, because they've never seen that color before...

Thanks!!! And yes, I have been reminding the kids not to expect him to stay a baby for very long at all. I almost wish he would.....he is so precious!!!

You know, a lot of people I told I was getting a Great Dane, when they asked what color and I said blue merle would say "WHAT color??????" so yeah, I can imagine people having no clue!!! The kids and I have been marveling over his spots and how absolutely random they are. Big ones and little ones and one on his face that looks like he was attacked by a sharpie. It is just such a fun pattern (or lack thereof).

I have a Merle......her name is Tinkerbell. and you're right, people will stop you to ask "what kind of dog is that?" Usually followed by "is that a horse?" Enjoy your "little baby" he's beautiful.
