i'm officially at my max capacity for dogs, and i CANNOT / "will" not go over. last minute adoption for a little girl who's owner was moving. we heard about her this morning, and here she is. she looks and acts almost EXACTLY like diesel, how could we say no? her name is scout, that's gotta go, any suggestions? she's 8 months old, purebred, no papers. big sweety, a definitely snuggler and leaner! she tried to ride in my LAP on the way home, which didn't work ha ha. can you tell which ones is scout and which one is diesel?? diesel has a blue collar and scout has a black for the moment.

Bless you for taking her! She'll fit in great with your crew! And she does look just like her new Dane brother. Names? Hmmm. She kind of looks like a "Sissy" to me (don't mean that in a bad way! I mean the name!). But let the others come up with some names. I am sooo unoriginal. Congrats on your new girl!
-
it's really ironic how much they act / look alike. she came from tennessee, hmmmmmmm, maybe they are related? who knows. this is her 7th home, although i can't figure out why, she's a complete angel! apparently, she went breeder, home, rescue, home with the guy i got her from, another home, back to the guy i got her from, and now me. poor baby. the only thing i can come up with is that the ppl didn't know what she would be like! the guy said she'd jump on me, but nothing yet, she just came up to me, nudged me and leaned. it was so great, i had to remind myself it wasn't diesel! axle didn't realize even at petsmart, until we got home and he saw TWO "diesels" ha ha. she really is a joy so far, she especially loves me boys!
-
i'm not sure about sissy, she's actually really pushy ha ha, not to mention that's my sisters nick name. axle tried to bully her away from the food, and she shoved right back ha ha. it was really funny! she's been on bil jac large breed food. does anyone know anything about it? it REALLY stinks, and is in a pellet form. the main ingredient is Chicken By Products (Organs Only, Including Chicken Liver), Chicken.

she's REALLY friendly and outgoing, we went to petsmart on the way home to get her dog food, she ran circles around me and axle she was so excited, she wanted to greet everyone! she was great though, and didn't even have a little accident, and only pulled a little here and there, but never hard! she loves dog parks (apparently) and people, dogs, but likes to chase cats sometimes. her favorite people though are KIDS! they give her yummy treats ha ha. she isn't much of a talker, so far, more of a "hey pet me!" leaner / nudger. just like diesel! me and hubby were wondering if ALL danes act like they do, or if it is just a fluke.
-
Awwww - isnt she a lovely looking lady? Thank you for being her rescuer- she is a great looking girl and sounds like an angel. The rescued dogs seem to know when they have finally made it home and they are the most wonderful dogs ever. Congrats
-
Does she bounce when she's excited? ;) Like a Kangaroo? What about Kanga or Roo? :D So great, I know. Or Rabbit! Or Frogger! Or Ribbit! (okay, someone stop me! I've cracked!)
-
the guy said she jumps, but we haven't seen it at all. she's really quiet, and calm.
-
Oh my word, she is GORGEOUS!!!!! :o Lucky her and lucky you!!! I can't fathom how a dog can go through that many homes. I cannot wait until I am in a bigger house and can rescue more dogs! :D
I don't have any idea on a name, sorry! You will know when you find the right one!!! :D
YAY FOR RESCUING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
-
Oh she's gorgeous! How about Ditto because she looks so much like Diesel!
-
ha ha, such a good idea! i'll have to see if she likes it! i also wanted to throw out the question, is it common for their eye lids to sag? it looks almost like cherry eye, but not quite, because there's no bulging. just a good bit of saggage. also, her toes are crunched up all the time, but her nails are cut short, so that isn't the problem...
-
She is such a beautiful girl! Grey has saggy eyes too, the vet says its nothing. Here is a pic of his eyes.

here's a picture of her's. they aren't really pronounced unless you're in front of her looking down. i sure am glad to know it's nothing! the guy said it was ok, but just wanted to be sure!
-
Grey's eyes gets all saggy when he is really sleepy or tired, so prety much all the time LOL. I know there is something else, not cherry eye, but I cant think of the name of it. But the vet told us that Grey didnt have anything wrong with his eyes, he just had doppey eyes. Im sure some one that knows more can give you better advice on her eyes LOL She is a beautiful girl though
-
OMG she is SO beautiful! and yes, identical to Diesel... wow. Darcy suggests the name Nitrous Oxide (aka Nos). to go with Diesel... lol. cuz i thought that something that went with the name Diesel would be cute ;) anyways. SHES awesome. congrats.
-
thanks for all the compliments and suggestions, everybody! you guys are the best!
-
Awww, she's adorable! You're awesome for taking her in. ;D
-
What a lucky girl to have found a wonderful mama and a brother that looks JUST like her. I like the name 'Tess' ~ just a thought, glad to see everyone is getting along so well already ;D
-
Steffanie - you ROCK! Congratulation s on your newsest addition - thanks for rescuing the big girl - she is beautiful!
p.s. once you get to five dogs... what is another two or three more...lol ;D
-
It is awesome that she found you! I have to give you credit, I thought 3 dogs were alot!!! She is gorgeous...and I have to give my "name" vote to Lotus. That would seem to match her calm demeaner. Congrats on your newest addition!!!
-
She is so cute! You are the best for taking her in.
I really like the names ditto and Mercedes. My very first dog when I was really young was a Mastiff named Mercedes.

i'm soooooooooo tired... we found out what "scout's" alarm for when she has to go potty is... she jumps up where you are and SITS on you... if you don't take the hint then, she'll lay down across your chest and stick her nose on yours. she decided last night she wanted to go outside every 30 minutes. it's cute, but my chest is sore and i'm tired ha ha. she didn't eat anything she wasn't supposed to or have any accidents though! boy, did she eat a lot last night, apparently she likes our dog food a lot better, because i had to pick it up because she was eating so much i thought she might bloat. she still hasn't figured out what the yard is for, i'm not quite sure why she won't go potty in the yard, but then she won't go in the house. i know she has to go, because she keeps telling me, she just doesn't. i sent the other dogs out with her to try to show her, but nothing yet.
-
Oh, I vote for the names Ella and Patti!
