Crazy Dog Guy

You’d think that this post might be about some guy in my neighborhood who lives with 100 dogs.  And you’d be right.  Kind of.

Because I almost adopted another dog.  A fourth dog.  What stopped me was the fact that the town I live in has an ordinance to keep people from “hoarding” animals, and only allows (3) of any type of animal to live in a residence.  That includes foster animals.

However, over the past weekend, I was involved in an annual picnic for the Rocky Mountain Great Dane Rescue. All of our current foster pups were there, as well as former fosters and other selected Danes.  I was put in charge of two dogs: Bronco, a 135-pound Albino and Deaf Dane that understands nearly 30 ASL commands, and a true sweetie; and Meesha, a fifteen-week old Lab/Dane mix.

Can you guess which one I fell in love with?

I hope someone adopts her soon!

  1. Sounds like you should run for city council, or mayor!
    And put a picture of Meesha on all your campaign posters.

  2. Argh… must… resist… cuteness…

    My dog is staying with my Mom for a few months while she’s back in the country, and it would certainly be nice to have someone around to fill the dog-shaped void in my life. However, I think I’ll just be patient and wait for Boots to return.

  3. LOL Noturus! Perhaps I shall! :-) And welcome! I’ve added your blog to my blogroll.

    Wade – You. Cannot. Resist. Cuteness. :-) I hope Boots comes home to you soon! You wanna borrow one of mine in the meantime?

  4. Thanks! We’ll return the favor.

  5. I could never resist a puppy. I do wish you had a picture of that giant albino, though. You had me curious for a visual.

  6. Tricia – pics of Bronco (and his sis) have been posted.
