hey kids
let me tell you about the 3,000 pound puppy i have become
mommy number two to
im sure many of you will know full well what im talking about
we had a dog when i was a kid
but i was 6 when we got scout
and i think 10 when he ran away forever
he lived in the backyard
he was a medium sized mutt
filthy
un-fixed
and probably never doggy trained since he lived outside
i loved him anyway
even if i did have to wash my hands everytime i pet him
when my dear lovely everything friend miha
decided to get a great dane puppy
to which he would be full time daddy
and i would be part time mommy
i thought how fun
how cute
how adorable
well...
greta
arrived at the airport
he was 8 weeks old
flown in from his breeder in arkansas
he was already more then 30 pounds
BIG PUPPY
he was scared and adorable
and miha held him the whole ride home
and we pet him and loved him
and he was overwhelmed
and just so cute
then
2 days later
greta got comfortable...
he began to bite
growl
pee and poop on everything in sight
miha bent down to scoop up gretas poop
and he bit miha in the ass
it was not at all what i expected
then came time
to leash train greta
he was 3 months old
the vet said his shots were done and he could go out
well normally a 3 month old dog
is easy
it pulls
you pull back
but greta at three months old
was 60 pounds
and already bigger then most dogs
he pulled
your feet left the air
thanks to miha's experience, he'd had a great dane before
and swears they mellow out once they are grown
and his deligence
and an expert dog trainer who lives in the building
g-man pitching
in
and a training collar
the pulling is getting better
the day
greta was allowed in the thompkins park dog run
life got better
miha didn't have to run so much anymore
and on my part time shift
i could just let him in and sit down and watch
like a furry tennis game
he could play and run free
the problem is
several rough cut home-boys seem to take delight
in bringing their agressively trained pit bulls
into the dog park
to eat
i mean play with
what im sure they think are
the yuppie dogs
greta is not a yuppie dog
he is the dog of a hard working chef
and the part time dog of another hard working chef-ette
one of the pitt bulls, (i don't have anything against pitt bulls, just the trainers) bit greta over his eye
we no longer feel thrilled with the Thompkins square park dog run
greta is now 4 months old
he is kept very clean by his daddy but still smells
often
and a lot, some musky stinky puppy smell
that can only be washed off your hands with scented palmolive
his teeth are coming in
so he drools over everything
i spent a day with him
and it looked like i was raped by 1,000 snails
he is 71 pounds
and oh yeah
as it turns out
im allergic to him!
but
yes the but is coming..
he is so cute
he is smoke gray and white
with two different colored eyes
and ridiculously huge paws that
he will grown into
he is playful
and affectionate
and
so funny
so interested in everything
and he just melts your heart
they say he may reach 180 to 200 pounds when full grown
i pray the leash training sets well in by then
im thinking to buy whatever they scoop up horse poop with too
as a gift for miha
in the meanwhile
i started lifting weights again
so i can keep up with him
the other day miha admitted
he's planning on getting another one
puppy love
