The Girls

Taking some time out to hang with the girls.

Skateboarding

I am very interested in Blake's skateboard. It is fun to step on and off of it. I know that it should move, but it doesn't go anywhere on the grass. Maybe when I can get my balance on the board, I can move to the driveway. How cool would it be for a dog to skateboard??

1 week at home!

Well, it's official...I've been here for 1 week now. I'm learning lots of new things and getting used to my new home. I like wearing my collar now and walking on a leash isn't so bad. I have my very own jewelry for my collar too. I am listening better when I'm told to sit and come. I do have my moments when I choose not to listen and run the other way...Mom and Dad don't like that too much, but I think it's pretty funny! What can I say, I'm still a baby!!

I love my crate and only get up once during the night...usually around 3:30. Then I'm up for the day around 6:45. This potty training thing is harder than I thought it would be. I'm learning that it's not okay to go potty in the house. Yesterday, I only had one accident...so that's pretty good, right? I get treats for going potty too...that's really cool! I love my treats!!
I have lots of toys and things to chew on. My favorite toy was my stuffed Monkey...but I accidently chewed off his arm this morning. Oops!

Picking Daisies

I was sitting by the flowerpot so nicely this afternoon, so Mom decided to take my picture. Well, when she went to grab the camera...I thought that I would just try and pick one for her! Well, she didn't like that at all.....I was just trying to be nice! Mom says I can't touch her flowers anymore...but they're so pretty!

My first visit to the Vet

07.20.09 Today was my first visit to the vet. It was fun. My Mom and my sister, Cynrae, brought me to see Dr. David. I liked him a lot. He said that I was very healthy! Mom was happy to hear that. They treated me like a princess there, and I even got treats!! I had to get 2 shots, but they didn't bother me at all.

They needed to know my weight, so I had to stand on a big scale. At first I tried to bite at it, but I quickly found out it wasn't food. I weighed 27 pounds!

My appointment went great and I can't wait to go back in a month to visit my new friends!

Sleeping Beauty

07.19.09 This is my favorite place to sleep. On the floor...leaning against the couch (since Mom says I'm not allowed to go on the couch). Today I fell asleep on my back with my paws in the air. Everyone thought it was a funny way to sleep...maybe you should try it. I find it quite comfortable!!

Finally at my new home!

07.16.09 Hi, my name is Willow. I am finally home! I am so excited to be with my new family. My new Mom and Dad picked me up from Nekoosa, Wisconsin and we drove a long way home to meet the rest of my new family! Although I did sleep all the way home, it was still a long 3 hours!
I am a blue-merle Great Dane. My Dad was a "blue" and my Mom was a "merle". I was the biggest girl in the litter and am told that I will eventually grow into my paws! I don't want to brag...but my Dad says that I have very pretty markings. I'm not going to disagree...I am very beautiful! I was born on April 12th, 2009.
Being a puppy is so much fun and I am so excited to start learning, playing and hopefully not getting in too much trouble!
