Thank you! I should be getting her this weekend and the lady who has her now will find out at the vet how far along she is!

I responded to an ad for a stray pregnant cat that appears to have been dumped (not used to being outside, very people friendly). The lady could not keep the cat because she already has SEVERAL so I offered to foster her and the kittens (once they are born) for a while. She is going to take...

It is normal; Cruiser was the same way. We started out by leaving him alone for small periods of time, like when we'd make a quick run to the grocery store. When he did good with that, we increased the time, maybe now to go out and play a few games of pool. Eventually it got to where we could...

Also, the first thing I did when we moved in was make sure all the our neighbors met Cruiser. Once they met him, they loved him and I don't have to worry so much about anyone complaining about him romping around during his 3am play session. If your neighbors love the dog, it takes a TON of...

My great dane/lab mix is closer to the size of a great dane and we live in an apartment. He does great, gets one to two walks each day and plays, plays, plays! We keep him gated in the kitchen when we are at work (to avoid accidents) and he just spends that time laying in his bed and playing...

Hello and thanks again for all the wonderful comments! TexasTulip: Cruiser and I are in San Antonio. Are you near there? LuvsDogs: Bella (Cru's momma) had a C-Section in which they delivered 9 puppies (knowing that there were a total of 10). The next morning, the day we went and picked out...

Cruiser is the first dog that I have had COMPLETE responsibility for. I had dogs growing up, one as a very young puppy, but the responsibility of those were on my parents. Cruiser is part great dane/part lab but his mannerisms are ALL dane and I couldn't ask for a better pup! Training is...

Give him something he CAN chew on. I also give Cruiser ice cubes and frozen dish rags, as well as freezing his ring toy.

Cruiser was completely housebroken at about 4.5 months. At 4 months he was having about one accident a week, usually because I didn't get up fast enough to let him out after he asked to go. Give it some time, use LOTS of praise and take him out after eating, playing and sleeping...and AS SOON...

Biting is very instrumental to a puppy, during both periods of teething. Be sure you always have plenty of toys on hand. All you can really do is redirect her when she begins biting you. Scold her gently and then give her one of her toys to chew on. It took Cruiser a couple weeks to realize...

Thanks for the welcome and the wonderful compliment! I love my little (quite large, actually) merle!

I have to back to work early afternoon the day after his surgery so I'm worried about not being able to keep as close an eye on him. My husband comes home on his lunch break so he will be checked on a few hours after I leave and I will be home a few hours after that. My concern is that he is...

He is a dane/lab mix. I plan on getting his tummy tacked before his first birthday (in February) and also having his displasia prevention surgery done before his 6 month birthday. I am VERY careful with him in the meantime!

Thanks! He's a great pup, lots of energy of course and the BIGGEST lover in the world! I'm very proud of him!

My baby boy is getting neutered on the 8th and I am being a worried mother. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to care for him afterwards?

My name is Dani and I am the VERY proud Momma of Cruiser, a 5 month old great dane/lab mix. He came from an "oops" litter that wasn't so "oops" afterall! He had 9 littermates to his lab mommy and great dane daddy! :D
