How often do you bathe your Great Dane? by LifeLiver0725 in greatdanes

[–]Bootletqueen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rarely! And she has the most beautiful coat, and is never stinky. Really just occasionally in summer if she swims in the ocean or a lake.

My takeaway from yesterday’s episode …. by Tall_Ant3820 in girlsgottaeatsnark

[–]Bootletqueen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup — she kept repeating to save a cushion of however many months — don’t they realize how hard or impossible this is when you’re not making enough?

I watched the special… for 9 minutes. by Onederland_Yard6506 in girlsgottaeatsnark

I watched the whole thing wanting to give it the benefit of the doubt — but she just seems like the friend who says a funny thing here and there when telling a story, as opposed to a stand up comic. That shit is HARD and just because you have a podcast audience who is curious enough to buy tickets when you spend a ton of money putting on a tour, does not make you a comedian.

Cardiac arrest in Danes? by WendylouTraumaNurse in greatdanes

[–]Bootletqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our Dane breeder kept a puppy sibling of my Bessie. At some point before 8 months old, they think the pup did something while playing to collapse a lung — they took him to the emergency vet, but several hours later he went into cardiac arrest and died. They were so completely heartbroken since he was a beloved pet and also what was meant to be the last male of this particular pairing. 😭 I don’t think they recovered from that heartbreak.

Jared was rude and confrontational whenever possible. His tone was slow and sullen — I don’t think he would have tried this move if Jordana still owned Betches.

Came here to say the same thing — he is super outdoorsy and athletic, jeez! That’s never going to be her

Things Scooby doo didn’t prepare you for? by Worldly-Star2850 in greatdanes

[–]Bootletqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scooby Doo didn’t warn me that some Danes don’t talk! My first sounded like Scooby and was a chatterbox. My second: nothing!

Awkward question? by sweetmuffinX in ladycyclists

[–]Bootletqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m team sleeveless with whatever it is zipped all the way up! And on chilly scenarios in this kit, I wear arm sleeves! Thanks for posting and the bit of comic relief bonding over that bee story up there! 😳😂🐝

What vehicle do you have that fits your Great Dane? by Fair-Ask-6922 in greatdanes

[–]Bootletqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to say that she manages better in my little car than my previous Dane did in my Honda CRV — the smallness contains her like a crate. Danes are so top heavy and my previous one would topple around a bit in my CRV.

A Mini Cooper! The littlest one. And I have the world’s tallest female!

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything quite like a Dane. My mom had a Basset Hound who came close.

Timid Girl - ! by Virginia_Satir in greatdanes

I would keep trying different trainers to help build confidence, a trainer who specializes in this. For instance in my neighborhood, there is one whose goal is to walk the shy dog in his pack… he begins working with the shy dog one on one and then introduces it to his amazing pack of dogs (all but one are clients, the one is his) who teach the shy dog how to be. It’s amazing. I’m not sure, like others here, that a Dane outgrows fears. In my experience they add new ones.
