Hi everyone,
Thought I would take some time to introduce my dogs one by one. I already introduced Pita so now I would like to introduce Brody. Brody is 7 months old and a purebred great dane. I rescued Brody when she was 9 weeks old. I hadn't been looking for another great dane I already had Tonka a male great dane, Robin my lab mix, and Pippy my chihuahua. However I got a call from one of my friends saying that they knew someone who had a great dane that they wanted to get rid of. My first response was whats wrong with her? However being an animal lover I went over to look at her. I was SOOO glad that I did. When I pulled up to the house I was greeted by several kids and several barking shih tzu (sp?). I kind of scanned the area for a great dane and didn't see one. I went to the door and the house smelled of urine. I was handed a cat carrier. I'm thinking to myself NO WAY!! When I took the cat carrier from this lady I poured pee allover myself, I looked inside to see a tiny black puppy literally crammed inside this carrier. I couldn't get the screws out to take the top off of the carrier so I had to move her side to side up and down to get her out. I felt like I was delivering a baby. She didn't have any skin on the pads of her feet, she had ants all over her, she was covered in her own poop and pee, she had burns all overher legs from the urine. I couldn't leave her behind so I wrapped her in my shirt thanked the lady and left. I found out that the lady's husband had bought her and the lady didn't want her. Brody's parents are both AKC but because they bred a Harlequin to a Fawn AKC wouldn't acknowledge Brody's litter. SO I was given copies of the parents papers. I took this scared, filthy, starving puppy home, I gave her a warm meal, a hot bath and made an appointment for the vet. I tracked down the breeder to see if she wanted Brody back after meeting with her she decided that because Brody had been through 2 weeks of abuse, was skittish, under weight and had a LOT of sores on her that she would never be able tosell her. The lady asked if I would be interested in keeping Brody. She paid all of the vet bills to get Brody's sores treated. Brody is now 7 months old and the best dog. All of her wounds have healed. She has a couple scars from them but they aren't nearly as bad as I had expected them to be. She still has a lot to overcome. She is afraid of new people but warms up quickly with reassurance from me. She is VERY bonded to me she loves to be held and cuddled...you try telling her no
lol. I still every nite sit in the rocking chair and rock her. She sleeps at my feet, and is never very far from me. She is still pretty skittish and jumps at new noises and cowers if my husband gets to loud. But she is awesome with the kids and a very loyal dog. Here are a few recent pictures of her.
