The other day, she was chewing on her rawhide and then started chewing on her bed and I caught her in the act and scolded her. She went and got in the corner of our bedroom and put her nose right up against the wall and would not move for 30 minutes! I have no idea where she learned this because we never make her stay in the corner (nor do we hardly ever have to discipline her). She was so sad so I finally had to go over there and tell her it was okay, that she was still our precious little "good" girl and that she didn't have to be so sad, just not to do it again. She didn't leave my side for the next hour. She sat by me in the bathroom putting my makeup on, followed me everywhere! It was so funny!
Danes are so sensitive and you don't really understand this until you have one. I had always heard about their sensitivity, but seriously they are so smart and loyal that they know when you are disappointed and they are pitiful!
Shelby still loves to go to the Locks and walk on the trails with her best friend Izzy. However, she got very sick a few weeks ago and had to have x-rays and very big shots of fluid put in her. They still aren't sure what it was, but we did start finding worms in her stool so we kinda think that was most of the problem. She lost about 10 lbs. and looked sooo skinny! We were very scared. She was so sick that she couldn't hold it and was going to the bathroom in the house and would run around in cirlces while she was going because it scared her so bad. Needless to say, Chan and I did a lot of gagging while cleaning up her watery poop! Ewwww!!!
We feed her a supplement called Ultra Oil from firstchoicenaturals.com. It makes her coat so shiny and silky! She feels like velvet.
We are so glad that we cropped her ears - it was months of hard work and very frustrating at times, but now that it is done we LOVE her look!
Her head is huge! Seriously, bigger than a human. We are really starting to see the European bloodline in her.
Right after a walk - she was worn out!
look how big that head is!
love, love, love her :)
Stay tuned for more updates! I promise I will start blogging about her more!!
