Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Well we just got home from the Vets. What a TRIP!!! It was my husband, my 6 month old daughter, myself, and 3 dogs. Robin and Moose were the only 2 that needed to go, but when Brody stands up and looks over the brick wall and watches the car back out of the driveway how can you leave her home? So we took her along. Moose got a clean bill of health and EVERYONE loved him.He is 49.8 lbs at 16 weeks old. Brody is 79.6 lbs at 11 months she was my abused great dane so I don't know that she is going to be a very big dane. And Robin is 76.7 lbs at 3 yrs old. She also got a clean bill of health. I'm really tired from trying to handle the monsters and the baby. Just thought I would let you all know.

I started this quilt probably about 4 yrs ago. I started by cross stitching the animal babies. I cross stitched 12 of them and then sewed them together to make this quilt. I am soooo proud of how it turned out. Just thought I would share it with you guys. I started a fire truck quilt for the little boy we are adopting so I will post pictures of that when I finish it.

We took Robin and Moose to dog park last night. Poor Brody had to stay home because she is in heat. Anyways there was a couple of girls there that had 2 italian grey hounds. A male and female. They were VERY cute, and VERY fast. This little boy was out running EVERY dog at the park. Anyways the female has given birth to 4 puppies about 8 days ago they said. Isn't it dangerous to take the mother dog out to a place like that? They said she needed excercise, but the poor dog kept going to the gate and crying or wanting to be picked up. I felt so bad for her. I told the girls that you never know what the mom dog is going to pick up and take back to her puppies. Am I wrong? Or are you not suppose to do something like that. I understand that the mom probably needs excercise, but I know that after I had my daughter I didn't feel like going out for excercise. It was hard enough to walk through a store. I just feel so bad for her.

Hi Everyone,
My husband is coming to San Diego from Arizona, and is bringing Robin and Brody with him. We are planning on going to Del Mar Dog Beach Saturday (march 25th) afternoon probably around 1pm or so (but could go earlier if anyone needed us to) Was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up there. We would love to meet some of you. Let me know.   

Here are recent pics of my Moose. He is 23lbs at 9 weeks old. I love him to death.

Moose. Everyone in California kept telling me that my puppy wasn't a puppy but a Moose. So the name stuck. He is doing great. I am at my mom's house in California and we got him here. My mom does daycare so Moose is getting a lot of interaction with the kids. He is doing great. I just love him. Everyone that sees him wants to steal him.

Hi Everyone,
I don't know that I even posted anything about it but thursday feb 9th was my birthday. It was the first time in 3 yrs that my husband was actually going to be home on my b-day and Valentines day. I was really excited about it. Well he forgot. Didn't do anything, didn't say anything about it. I was hurt and a little mad and honestly wanted to kill him. Well yesterday he had the day off and told me that he wanted to go for a ride in the car I thought ok. So we loaded baby Makaylee up in her seat, and off we went. Well what was suppose to be a 3 hr drive turned into a 5 hr drive because of traffic. Well, we got to this ladies house, and we were greated by a very large fawniquin(sp?) great dane. He was gorgeous. Then we were greeted by a lady with a silver merle great dane puppy that had a happy birthday ribbon on. She handed me the puppy and I cried. I have been looking for either a silver merle, or a harlequin since I lost my Tonka in September. I haven't found any in Arizona and if I did I couldn't afford the high prices. It turns out my husband has a friend he works with whose parents had a litter of great danes and they had a silver merle. They worked out a deal with my hubby. We got home late last nite, and Brody and him have been playing nonstop. The lady had been calling him Bullet, but we changed his name to Luke because we got him up by Luke Air Force base. He is such a sweetie. He has HUGE paws and was a lot bigger than his brother and sister that they had left. I love him to death. Luke LOVES Makaylee and tried the entire ride home to get in her carseat with her, and every sound she makes he is right there. It is really cute. His coloring is beautiful as he is a silver merle but has fawn in him. It almost makes him look dirty. A lot of his grey spots are actually brindle looking. Hes beautiful. Pictures don't do him justice but I know that you guys will want them. So I've posted a few that the lady had sent to my husband. Well I have to go I will chat with you all later. I guess my husbands not so bad after all

We took my daughter to get her 3 month pictures done today. She is growing up way too fast. But I loved the pictures and thought I would share them. The photographer (at Walmart) was the best. He even used her security blanket (the pink striped zebra thing) in the pictures to calm her down. She was in a great mood until the first picture was taken and then she was so crabby. The last picture she had had enough and was screaming. So we called it quits. But I was so impressed with the guy who took the pictures.
