Great Dane Puppies | Pictures | Note From Twinkie

Dearest furiends and friends,

Life at the Twinkersons has been terribly hectic since the gentle giants arrived. Everything is A-okay. I, the tiny chihuahua, am still in control. I may weight only 4lbs and have only 3 good legs, but I mean business and the Great Dane Puppies have been "informed".

You can see me in action here, supervising the pack.

My sister Linguini, the senior spotted dog, is doing well. She gets along with the Great Dane puppies although she hasn't really warmed up to them. She was never one to engage with other dogs. She loves humans more. The most important thing is that she is as healthy as any dog her age and size can be.
My other sister, Frankie, the brindle chiweenie, is doing really well too. She's appreciating the fact that our devilish chihuahua puppy bro, Pedrito, is busy with the danes. She gets along with everyone and enjoys the increased one on one time M is putting in all of us these days (she wants us all to feel loved and not to worry about being dethroned by the new puppies).
My brother Pedro, the incredibly naughty 9 month old chihuahua puppy is having the time of his life. He is in love with both Danes and shows it. He has become adorable and obedient overnight. He is in charge of the Great Dane puppies. He watches over them, leads them around the yard, drags his toys in front of them to get them to engage . . . M tells everyone about his change with teary eyes! As for me, I've got tears of joy in mine. He's finally left me alone! The pressure's off thanks to our new pack members.

 Pedro is having a chat with his Great Danes.

Pedro is watching over his puppies as they sleep.

The seven cats have their own issues to worry about and the presence of the Great Dane puppies hasn't made a big difference in their lives. The cats are mostly indifferent to the gentle oversized pups.

M is working overtime doing what she always did, but the addition of the puppies and the fact that she's back in school have added a bit of stress to her life. It's okay though because whenever she gets any breaks, she visits with us and all her trouble disappear. We make enormous doggy piles that always make her smile (that is when Sasha is not eating M's hair).

That's pretty much it as far as our news goes, but I also wanted to tell you about a new friend we made through our blog. Her name is Bek. She'll tell you the rest . . .


Hey Twinkie Tiny Dog,
 
I’m working on a short film that I thought you and your extended pup pack might be interested in.  The film, SICK AS A DOG follows Maggie, Betty, and Ginseng, three canine companions that have been forced to confront the ill effects of chronic disease, age-related illness, and poor diet.  Throughout the film, the dog’s humans get support from some of the Bay-Area’s top acupuncturists, dermatologists, water rehabilitation therapists, and other specialists in an attempt to help keep the dogs happy and healthy.
 
I recently launched a “Kickstarter” campaign to cover the final costs of producing the film so we can get it out the door ASAP.  I have only a few days left to reach my funding goal (until June 13th) and I am already 60% of the way there. There are some great perks for donating, including copies of the DVD and SICK AS A DOG keepsakes.   
Your sis Linguini has already been a huge help by letting us use her x-ray photo for the cover art!
 
CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE NEW TRAILER AND LEARN MORE!  
 
Hope you enjoy,
 
Rebekah Meredith
and the SICK AS A DOG Production Team


Do stop by to check out Bek's work and see what she's done with our Senior Spotted Dog's x-ray!


M and I are working on figuring out how to better maintain my blog. She says that we can't keep going at this pace and that we should post updates once a week. I say MEEP! It's my dog blog after all and I get the final word on this. 




Bottom line: We're one big happy family and it shows! Right Ziggy?



Lots of love,

Twinkie

Too Much Fun

Not much time to blog, but always time to . . . document (aka photo frenzy extravaganza)

Since the Danes came to live with us, Pedro has left Frankie and me alone. Phe-w!

Here's why:










The lil' dot on the right is no other but my nutty devilish baby bro, Pedrito. We've renamed him Paco and we're calling him a "good dog". Hopefully he'll make a better Mini Dane than a chihuahua mix.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OUR FURIENDS, THE GREAT DANES OF THE ANIMAL BLOGDOM FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL ADVICE. 
WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH. AS MUCH AS I'M WORRIED ABOUT BEING STEPPED ON, I CAN'T HELP BUT WISH THE BEST FOR MY NEW GENTLE GIANT SIBS, ZIGGY AND SASHA.

Great Dane Puppies And Us

After yesterday's shocking unveiling, I am under the obligation to at least answer your questions. 

Are we adopting or fostering?
Full on and permanent ADOPTION! These babies aren't going anywhere. They've already got a fabulous forever home, ours, and they ain't going nowhere. 
Our M doesn't care about flowers much, but she does love d-o-g-s. These Great Dane puppies were a pressie to our M. They are unfortunately NOT rescues, but once we met them, there was no returning them.

How are we all taking it?
Let me break it down for you...

Linguini, what do you think?

Here's your answer. She watches over them like the world's best pup-sitter!

The cats are not too worried. The Great Dane puppies' disposition is so balanced and calm, that even the cats instantly tolerated them nicely.

There are always exceptions.

Pedro, the chihuahua puppy, is convinced he's a Great Dane. Ever since he switched breeds (he used to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback), his disposition has changed completely. He's as sweet natured as his new siblings. We cannot believe the positive overnight change on Pedrito, the ex devilish pup!


M is in heaven. Somebody tell her she won't be able to do this for much longer, please!




We, the smaller dogs,  feel the need to stick together at times, but, other than that, we're all doing well, considering our full home. 

FYI, these great dane puppies are going to live the life! Our yard is a full acre.
They are fitting in beautifully and haven't complained once since they arrived.

The best news according to M:
Their poo is VISIBLE.

LOL

Any more questions?

M Has Gone Crazy

I promise to fill you in on the details as soon as possible!!!

Love,

Family Edition Friday

Brothers And Sisters

Our beautiful kittens are almost a year old. They have lived together their entire life. Contrary to what animal behaviorists say (that cats are indifferent to the notion of family), our cat family is a tightly knit one. From feedings to play time, they still stick close to each other. Below are some photos of Puddles, the calico kitten, and her baby bro, Charlie, the tuxedo kitten, engaging into adorable kitten play.

 Charlie: Puddles . . . Yo, baby sis. Wanna play?

 Charlie: I said, let's play!

Stop it, Cha-lie! Or I'm calling momma.

 Charlie: Not before I bite your leg.

 Puddles: I'm warning you, Cha-lie. Stop it!

 Puddles: I warned you! Now, I'm going to bite your  . . . Wait a minute, you don't have any!

 Puddles: Hmm . . . Now what do I do?

Twinkie: Thanks you two. That's a wrap. You can stop and get off now.

The Verminator aka "Rabbies' Breath"

Pedrito, The Verminator, demonstrates his Rat Terrier side

And the staple: "Wasn't me" Pedro shot.


And that's how Rabbies' Breath does it furiends. . .
Don't be getting no silly ideas now.

The Chiweenie Prayer

According to the infamous Wikipedia, the web's free and arbitrary encyclopedia, PRAYER is a form of religious practice that seeks to activate a volitional rapport to Dog or spirit through deliberate practice. 

Frankie, the chiweenie, will demonstrate:

 Dog is Great!

 Dog is Good!

 Let us pray . . .

 For falling pieces of yummy food!

Amen!

May lots of human food crumbs and other dog treats fall on this dog's path.
