Woo hoo for long weekends! It's the 4th of July weekend so we get Monday off of work and we're taking a half day today!
I ordered Darwin a Thundershirt, and I'm hoping it gets here before I leave for the day! Hopefully it works on Sunday too!

Honey's mom has a great post up that I think EVERYONE should read, Dane owners or not, it applies to everyone, Great Dane Reality.
We didn't do years (or months) of research before deciding to get Darwin like Hsin-Yi did, but we did do some research and spent a lot of time thinking about it and discussing it before committing to keep her. Getting a dog, especially one of the size of a Dane, should take heavy consideration and not a decision made on a whim because they are cute puppies. All puppies are cute, but not all puppies grow up to the the size of a Dane. It makes me think about Darwin's brother, Kona, who we helped rehome because his original owners "underestimated his size" when they got him as a puppy. OI. That infuriates me still. Anyway, here are some pictures of our goofball from 4th of July last year.
Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday weekend!
Ahhh, sweet baby Darwin! I can't get enough of these Flashback Friday posts. :)

Hope all is well with the Thundershirt. This will Remi's 1st 4th, so we'll see how he does.

Hey there Darwin! Did you get your thundershirt? Did it help you through the 4th? I thought of you b/c a friend just told me they are using one for storms and said it seems to be working great! Can't wait to hear how it went!
