Some of you may know that I am a HUGE dog lover. It's my mothers fault. As a baby my best friend was a 140 lb Great Dane named Julio. Ever since Julio died I have wanted another Great Dane. When Donnie and I purchased our first house I expressed my desire for a Dane. I got a Beagle. Still not sure how that happened. When moving to the new house again I said "I want a Dane". Donnie was not feeling it. To make matters worse there are 2 beautiful Great Danes that live across the street from us. Then my brother told me about a girl who had a dog who was going to have puppies. GREAT DANE PUPPIES. OMG. Still Donnie was not feeling it, certainly not a puppy. So I did what I do best and begged. :-) He said yes. I can not tell you how thrilled I am. I know it will be loads of work but I have been doing research and planning for our new arrival and I think we are ready. A few weeks ago we went to see the new puppies. I had my heart set on a boy but mama dog had other plans for me. 2 boys in the whole litter! So we picked the cutest one (I say we because Donnie suddenly took interest) she looked just like a baby panda bear. Shortly after we made our choice Donnie named her. Thira, it's the original name for Santorini and now the name for the capital. I still need a middle name so feel free to make a suggestion. She will not come home until mid September but I'm doing my best to make sure we are all ready for her arrival.
