My First Puppy

[peregrinerose 0]

I do volunteer work for a Great Dane rescue out of Pittsburgh, after having such a great experience adopting through them (Dane/Elkhound mix). Well, after serving as transition home for an elderly dane I adored and hated to move on to her permanent home two days after euthanizing our 12 year old Greyhound, we were down to 2 dogs. For the first time in 7 years. A transition dog was required, and the rescue I volunteer with happened to have a litter of puppies available. A week of convincing finallly got Chad to agree to it (he has subsequently turned to a puddle of man-goo over this pup).

See the pics of Wookie, and look how HUGE those paws are!!

Cute puppy Jen! We hope you guys have many years of fun together. Maybe we will see him at the dropzone sometime.

You need to check your HOA rules to see if you are allowed horses...

I hope you have a strong back. You'll need it when you have to pick up his poop.

My Bro has a dane.

Be warned you will hear either

"Is it a horse" or "Have you got a saddle for it" or Whos' taking who for a walk" everytime you are out.

Somedays you will get all three!

Little is in quotations because looking at those paws, it's not gonna be a "little" pup for long.....LOL

He is absolutely adorable!!! I recommend buying roller skates. That was you don't have to worry about running to keep up with him pulling you.

Sorry to hear about your Greyhound, they are one of my favorite breeds. We have whippets now but have rescued greys in the past. Congratulations on your new puppy.

Scott, he's going EVERYWHERE with me. My cattle dog is getting old and a little cranky, my other dane has bad knee arthritis/CCL injury, so they have to stay home. Wookie will be at the dropzone with us Sunday if you guys want to meet him.

Leash training starts this week, so we'll not be having any of that 'who's walking who' thing or need roller skates. I have a great book on clicker training that is working beautifully. He knows his name, sit, and down, puppy push ups (back and forth from sit to down to sit...) working on house training, 'come' and leash training next!

He's the sweetest dog ever, and I'm so glad my husband is letting me do all the work with him, so he's totally my dog.

His name isn't actually Wookie, is it?

Cute dog.

Yep, his name is actually Wookie. He has the crazy hair of a wookie with the wolfhound in him, and Chad finally started to cave on the puppy thing while we were watching Star Wars. He's about as coordinated as a Wookie as well.

Jen,
He is only your puppy when he does something bad and Chads when he is good. Thats how us men roll.
