So... everybody who has a Great Dane (or two...) : do your danes absolutely
LOVE giving you big Great Dane hugs???
Leeloo has been really affectionate lately and wanting to give us hugs all the time! I think it has finally sunk into her mind that she is here to stay. So she has been really happy and it seems to make her feel very special to be able to hug us. She gets this look of contentment like she is feeling high! It's really sweet.
So... I went to Samson, who is a few inches taller and about 50 lbs heavier than Leeloo, and I was like, hey boy- wanna learn how to give a hug??? Well, I don't know whether this was a wise decision or not, but he LOVES it!!!! Ever since that evening, now when I am hanging out giving him his special Samson time, he gives me this look, and luckily I know what the look is, it's the I'm-about-to-jump-up-on-you-and-give-you-a-Great-Dane-hug look!!! So I am trying to decide on a command for it so he doesn't do it at random, cause he sure enjoys it! And he is really eye level with me when he hugs me, or maybe taller. But he gets that same sweet look on his face that Leeloo gets, like he feels so loved and special.
Anyhow, I just think it is the sweetest thing to see them so happy.
