Hello Everyone,
As most of you know I'm very active in giant breed dog rescue. I work for a rescue based out of Washington that is a national rescue and I coordinate things here in Arizona. Rescue work can be wonderful, fulfilling, and a some might say amazing. It can also make you physically ill, cause you to randomly burst into tears and on occasion make you contemplate murder.
Tonight was one of the latter sorts.
We have picked up two "lethal white" seven week old great dane puppies. At seven weeks they are about the size of most 3-4wk old great dane puppies. They are both female, both deaf and both have some vision though our vet will have to determine how much vision they have.
You can find pictures of the sisters here:

We are stuffing them full of puppy formula, satin balls, wet food, goats milk, yoghurt and anything else I can think of. They will be going to the vet in the morning to check for internal cooties amongst other things.
We have not decided on names for them yet. I keep telling myself not to get attached so it won't hurt so much if one or both do not make it. However how can you not? I have already lost that particular battle.
