Growin' Like a Weed

A little over a week ago Gwen weighed in at 61 lbs (she probably weighs more than that now). 3 months ago today we brought Gwenevere home- she weighed 17 lbs. My baby is growin' up so fast!

It won't be long before Jordan can't hold her anymore!

And they called it puppy love...

I am not sure who liked who more...

Great Dane Meet Up

Today we took Gwen down to Long Beach to meet some new Great Danes. Gwen seemed to have a blast!









Does it make us weird that we drove for more than an hour just so our baby could make new friends?

Gwenevere

So, I am sure most of you know Oso's unfortunate ending but for those of you who don't...Oso is in a much happier place now where he doesn't have to be afraid or hurt or remember all of the horrible experiences of his life.
Oso was my baby and I was devastated but knew it was the right thing to do. It's been a rough week...Jordan must really love me because today we brought home a new puppy!
It is a long story but basically we got her from a breeder through a large dog rescue. (If you want particulars I will fill you in.) She is an almost 10 week old Fawn Great Dane. Her father was 180 lb. and about 35 in at the withers and her mom was 120 lbs. and about 30 in. Gwenevere has a fairly dainty bone structure so she will probably be a smaller Great Dane around 120 lb. when she is fully grown.
Isn't she beautiful?

Picking Gwen up :)

This is what I found when I got home.

Going for a walk.

Friday: Pizza Bites with spinach salad.
Saturday: Netty is going to be here.. probably will be at my parents house.
Sunday: Parents house (?)

Thoughts? Suggestions?

And baby makes 3...

Meet Oso, the newest member of our family! Oso is a5 year old, Great Dane/German Shepherd mix that we adopted from the pound. When we got him he was only 108 pounds, you could see all of his ribs, he had wounds all over his body and a tail that had obviously been broken.

He wormed himself into my heart...

and Jordan's!



He looks so little in his pictures but he is definitely a big boy. He loves his mom and dad more than anything and would rather be loved on than play- silly boy.
