How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Waiting To Adopt!

in Family on 08/11/14

Our little family of four is on a waiting list to adopt….a new puppy! Yup!  So as we await the news that the new babe has arrived and it’s our turn to take home our new bundle of joy, (and trouble), we take every opportunity to stay in touch with our truly awesome Great Dane breeder and some of the events she has out at her farm.  This past weekend, was a walk and BBQ.  We walked, chatted and played with dogs and puppies until our hearts were…..almost content.

Ack! So much cuteness!

A walk through the fields and sun streaked woods with 40 or so Great Danes?  It’s not something you get to do every day! DantryWalk1

I kind of loved it!

I simply can’t wait until it’s our turn to bring home our little Blue Great Dane baby.

Now taking suggestions for names!

      Great danes are beautiful dogs. Are you guys thinking boy or girl?

      how extra adorable they are going to be when they havent grown into their ears. I was watching puppy videos on youtube this morning melts my heart.

      Fantastic news! Hope you will have your puppy soon. I had a dog many years ago, funny little thing. Her name was Greta. I’m sure that whatever name you choose it will be perfect for your new family member.

      As a retired dog groomer & current dog sitter I commend this breeder. Adoptors see the size of the poo before you jump into living with it, so to say 🙂 We had a wonderful dog named Blueberry, Blue for short. So that’s my suggestion. Miss her like crazy. Congratulations on your adoption!! Can’t wait to see all the pics on Instagram

      I love the name bayou that was suggested above. I can’t wait to “meet” your new puppy once they are finally in your arms!

      What beautiful dogs! We just adopted a little pug and have been enjoying every minute of him. Have fun!

      I lobe Great Danes – we had several when I was growing up. But always with uncropped ears so they didn’t have to go through that painful process.

      I like the blue color – almost like smoke.
