Today we welcomed a new member to our family. Meet our "little" Minnie. She is 2 years old. Come on everyone, you knew that it would happen...as soon as we got into a house, Chris HAD to have a dog. I was kinda hoping that he could hold off for at least a few months, and that he would choose maybe a smaller one....but as soon as he met her, he just wanted to have her.
She is trained pretty well and can sit, shake (both paws), lay down & climb, luckily that is only by command. We are hoping that she fits in great and does well here. We are surrounded by dogs and they seem to bark ALOT, today Minnie met their "chatting" with a stare. I love it! We have not heard her bark yet.
So far, the only bad habit she has is the insistence to sit on our furniture. Sorry, but that will not fly with me. Other than that, the girls love her & we are all very excited to have her.

Dave just got a great dane too! He is black and white and only 5.5 months old...he is really fun, and HUGE!
Enjoy Minnie!
I really like the photo of her with Chris. I am sure you are all in heaven. Too much fun!
Oh, she's beautiful! Did you get her a large sized dog bed yet? Training her to understand that that is where she may sit, will break her of the habit of wanting up on the human furniture! Because she's a very large breed of dog, she may be susceptible to joint problems in her later years, and thus will need a nice sized bed or cushion to lay on...not advisable to let her on the hard floor unless of course she prefers it to a dog bed!
She is a cute dog!! I am jealous, although a big dog would in NO WAY work in my house!!
