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?






Apparently the camera loves her too, as did the photographer! She was definitely the belle of the ball. But I didn’t want to bring her into our home and then have to give her up because we were violating a city ordinance. So I will have to love her from afar.
I hope someone adopts her soon!



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

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.

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?

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.
