: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: Kermit September 20, 2005, 09:06:35 PM
We had decided for sure, no more fosters. I have gotten way way way too attached to Sunshine Bear so I said, no more. I can't stand getting so attached. It is breaking my heart. Then I got the call... a Dane in need... he just had heartworm treatment... he needs a cool safe place just for a few days after he gets out of the vet... please.... :-*

So here he is, his name is Ivan. I have to keep him separated from my boys, but that's ok with Ivan and Will (who have become best buds very quickly) because Ivan's crate is down in Will's workshop. They are down there right now, a couple of guys hanging out, they are probably drinking beer together and talking about women! ;)

Poor guy looks like he had a home ear-crop by somebody  :'( but he is the sweetest guy in the world, full of love!!!

He's so beautiful!   :)  How long does he get to stay with you?

He is going to stay with us just until the weekend, since we are leaving town on Sunday. But we get a few good days to hang out with him! Since he just had heartworm treatment we have to keep him pretty calm, but he sure wants to run around and play!!! He is awesome. More and more I just love the Dane personality!! :D

What a sweetheart!! 

One of the danes staying at our house just finished her heartworm treatment.  I think she needs one more clean test and she's good to go to get spayed (NOT a fun time when she went into heat last month with their other male dane)

I'm sure he will find a new home no problem.  He's gorgeous.

You guys are cracking me up!  :D
I'm just glad we are leaving town so he HAS TO find a new foster while we are gone. Someone is scheduled to come and pick him up on Friday and we will part ways and I will wish him luck! It's WILL you guys should be concerned about! When I am upstairs I can hear him down in the workshop talking to Ivan in that smoochie voice... "you are such a GOOD BOY Ivan!! Come here you cutie pie! Give me a kiss!!!"...

Tell me these two aren't in love!!!

Jenn,
  Can you believe that mean ol Rebekah is doing that to Will? Separating that poor man from his new luvie-wuvie? Mean, MEAN Rebekah!

 Come on, Rebekah....don't you want to prove how nice you really are and let Will keep Ivan? hahahhaahhaha!


Good luck, he's an awesome boy!
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: GreatDanz September 21, 2005, 11:20:47 AM
Rebekah, I don't even know you, but now *I* want you to keep him too!!!!

Danes are SO special, I promise you won't regret it for a minute!
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: Kermit September 21, 2005, 11:34:30 AM
Danes really are special! They deserve the world, it is so so unfortunate how many of them come up in rescue.  :-[ Who knows what this guy has been through but he is so sweet to us, and he has the most innocent eyes I have ever seen.
And look at this close up!!! Can you FEEL the LOVE?
 ;D

: newflvr September 21, 2005, 11:35:32 AM
Oh, yeah....keep him!!!  He's adorable, he's happy and he has his very own man!   You just can't seperate a man from his dog!  It's against the rules ;D!
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: Moni September 21, 2005, 11:50:14 AM
Ohhhh, you've got to keep that sweet boy!  Once you've had a dane, you'll always have one!  ;D

Jenn,
 She's buckling...she's caving....I can see it!

Just give up on the idea of a little sister-hood, Rebekah! You're going to be surrounded by boys. That's all there is to it! hahahahha!

Speaking of that, did you ever go look at the little Newfish pup?

C'mon! I need another female in the house besides myself! I am SERIOUSLY outnumbered!!!

Ya know, I never did go see that little (newf?) pup Bebe, and she got adopted on Saturday. So they must have already had a great application on her. It just didn't work out for me to drive to Smithville because I was waiting for someone to bring Ivan over!

What was that? You want to see another picture of Ivan? ;)
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: newflvr September 21, 2005, 01:15:34 PM
Ivan looks like he's right at home!  Guess he is!!

I have two male dogs, three male cats, three sons and darling husband.  I have a daughter but she's living with her boyfriend in San Francisco.  While all the boys were home this summer, there was testostrone dripping from the ceiling!  You just get used to it!  Ivan is home...and if he's neutered, at least he's not really, really male!  You could get him a pink collar, call him Ivana and nobody would have to know!
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: dohertyswissy September 21, 2005, 01:18:03 PM
OMG - Rebekah, he's SOOO cute!  You HAVE to keep him!!!  I have a husband, a male dog, and a male cat.  I always say that I only have male pets, b/c I'm the Queen Princess (i.e. B*tch) in my household.  No need for another one.   ;)
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: Kermit September 21, 2005, 01:18:57 PM
Uh... he isn't neutered. Yet. But he will be!!! In about a month when he is better from the heartworms....
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: Kermit September 21, 2005, 01:20:51 PM
Actually, Jenn I think I like the idea of keeping Ivan AND getting him a little sister! Now, time to work on Will...
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: newflvr September 21, 2005, 01:23:08 PM
I think Will is already hooked! 

NOW, let's think about the little sister.... ;D

YIPPEE!!  Ivan has a forever home!!!
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: dohertyswissy September 21, 2005, 01:23:10 PM
DO IT!  DO IT!  DO IT!

Fabulous idea, Jenn!  The hits just keep on comin' ...

in all fairness, i'm usually the one saying "i don't know..." in regards to new dogs!
Ivan is terribly cute.  he's been helping me paint rebekah's sign down in the basement. 
I'll hate to see him go, but i know he will find a great human companion to really complement his excellent temperment.

I think you lost control when you signed on to BPO ... LOL


Control is just an illusion.....I van is the real deal!  You can control Ivan!!!  Isn't just the very best idea???

Darling I think everyone here wants us to adopt Ivan and THEN a new little terrier girl... and another big pawed girl...and... oh sorry
: Re: Our beautiful new (temporary) foster dog!
: nohesnotahorse September 21, 2005, 10:24:05 PM
He's a very handsome boy... I know how they can grow on you.  Good luck whichever way you go. ;)

Very shortly after you stroked that BIG furry head & swore to help him. :) :-*

: Nicole September 22, 2005, 02:58:09 AM
Rebekah....h*ll-O? DUH! Its so obvious! You didn't go see that little Newfish girl cuz IVAN WAS COMING. You're supposed to have IVAN.

Will...no need for a little sister. A pack of boys is just fine.

I've got three boy cats and a boy dog. It'll be fine. Just adopt Ivan already. Geeze. Stop keeping us waiting.

Well, regardless of what happens in the future for Ivan, I let him and Nigel meet briefly today and holy cow they loved each other!!! Nigel looked up to him with big bright eyes like Ivan was some kind of GOD!!! It was hilarious, because then Ivan just gave Nigel a gigantic playful paw to the face!!! :D I can't wait to show Will whan he gets home from work.

 ;D

Well tell that to Zoot! He would be HEARTBROKEN if we brought another male into the pack! He is my main squeeze, and I just don't know if I could do that to him! Look at his face! Look at those eyes! You want me to tell him another big gorgeous hunk of a dog is moving in with us?? Poor Zoot!!!
