I am thinking about feeding our pup, yet to be named, either Wellness, Natural Balance, or Blue Buffalo. Also, I want to do the Blackwatch feeding program recommended on the Great Dane Lady's website. I am scared to death of bloat and really want to do everything I possibly can to prevent any ailments, especially something as serious as bloat. I cannot wait for updated pictures to be posted of our little baby! I think about her all of the time and cannot wait for her to join us in our home. I have done extensive, extensive research on raising a Great Dane and I feel more prepared each day. I feel like I am going to have a child!
My husband and I have been talking about future travel plans and if we want to get a pet sitter to come to our house or if we should board. We really think that getting a pet sitter would be the best bet for our dogs in order to reduce stress. We are just nervous about letting a stranger into our house like that. If anyone knows any reliable pet sitters in the Augusta, GA (Evans) area, please let us know so we can start a relationship asap!
Also, another concern for me is the best time to spay. I have read a lot about spaying early to prevent breast cancer. The other area of thought is to let them go through one heat cycle in order to keep a balance of hormones. It is very important not to spay during or for two months after their cycle, etc. but I am not sure what to do. Also, I am not sure if I could handle a puppy that large going through a heat cycle in the house! We all know those doggie diapers don't stay on! Hmmm, what to do...
We should be picking her up on September 11th or 12th, 2009! Oh, and her ears will be cropped when we pick her up.
