Littermates!

As soon as the Great Dane Puppies, Ziggy and Sasha, joined our pack, many of our furiends' pawrents, approached us via email and Facebook, giving us sound advice on raising gentle giants and commenting on the difficulties and potential hazards of raising littermates. Worry not, dear friends.

The "lil' Dane" in the midst is way more attached to the Danes than they are to each other.




These two littermates are inseparable.

When M took the two Great Dane puppies to Santa Barbara, leaving the orange one behind, the lil' one got so depressed that he stopped eating and took to going around the house sighing deeply. 
Lil' Pedrito (a rat-cha), the orange blur, has infiltrated the littermates, creating an even stronger bond with Ziggy than his actual sister.



Sasha puts up stoically with her new littermate, Pedrito, the Orange Great Dane.

    This story kind of reminds me of the old, old Disney movie, "The Ugly Dachshund"! Pedro, you fit right in!

    That is just so funny - who would have thunk that the cure for the Terrorista was two giants:)

    In a couple of pics lil' Pedrito looks somewhat squashed, but he seems fine.

    I would love a tiny little living squeaky toy all my own who likes to play bitey face!

    Kisses,
    Stella

    Who'd've thunk it? Pedrito is really a Great Dane! It all makes sense now! ;-)

    To paraphrase, it's not the size of the dog with the heart, it's the size of the heart in the dog. Welcome to honorary Danehood, Perdito. We're looking out for a shirt in your size that says "I'm the BIG brother."

    He he they all look like trouble.... wait till the Danes get to be 100 pounds at 6 months old when they still have major puppy brain. Then have your hooman try to walk them while they jump and bites the leash - Dat is the best part.... BOL.. we do outgrow it.
