Ashly is trying to write her paper from one of her college classes and Nevaeh is wanting attention instead.

Vet appt went well. She weighed in at 43.2 lbs. she’s gained 11 lbs in 2weeks. She also has some brindle coming through on her back legs. She did well on her car ride today and no accidents. Thank goodness.

Oh our pretty penny puppy. As of last Saturday she was 37lbs and had gained 5 lbs in a week. LIke her sister Nevaeh she came with some issues: she had parvo and was treated at the vet Pryor to us getting her and recovered well, she was wormy and full of fleas, poor hair coat and had vaginitis. Since then we have been wormed 3 times, on flea meds, on antibiotics for our infection and restarted our vaccines, she is due for a booster tomorrow and will update her weight then. She is now fat and sassy, super active, has a slick coat and is so smart. We love these two very much .

These two fell into our laps so to speak and were in situations that the needed new homes so we came through and provided one as we needed to add Danes back into our home. That being said: these two are prime examples of why you should research the breed, breeder and make sure they are tested.

Nevaeh is non registered, was bred by previous owner and previous owner did not believe in heart worm preventive and so here we are with a heart worm positive Dane which could of been prevented for less that $20 a month, we had to redo her vaccines as well. And she’s a very anxious Dane with superstition anxiety. She knows basic commands but is very much a 1 track mind Dane. If she’s focused on 1 thing that’s all she can focus on. Mainly cats. Oh and I believe she is cryptic as she has some brown patches popping in her black coat. I do not know her pedigree so I do not know colors of her parents. She is due to be spayed first week in October.

Penny- pretty little penny- other than the issues listed above penny is the product of a uneducated breeder who bred spot to spot. Harli to a Merle . I do not know anything about littermates and hopefully they have no issues. Penny is supposed to be registered but the previous owner traded another dog and $$$ for her and elected not to get her papers, that is ok though. She will also be spayed at the appropriate age. Unfortunately I do not know pedigree as no registration means no pedigree:(

These two are now well loved and taken care of. They may break the bank but that’s the cost of Danes. I am not bashing anyone for the above issues. Mistakes is how we learn and educating ourselves as we go along. There is never enough info to attain and things are constantly changing and research is one of our best resources.

Once again: we are not starting our program back up at this time.

Much love to all. 💕

Update on Nevaeh: she did great with her bloat surgery and recovered completely after licking out a few stitches and having to have staples, those have since been removed. Nevaeh had the worst happy tail I have ever seen, in all the years I’ve owned and raised Danes I have never had one have happy tail such as this, my walls would look like a mass murder scene daily, and after ever effort and trick up my sleeve we had to have part of her tail amputated as we could not stop or control the bleeding long enough to let it heal, since surgery we have had no more issues and she definitely doesn’t miss it. And honestly we do not either as she would swing it so hard she would leave whelps on you and I’m sure that hurt her as mush as it hurt us. So she has been home since yesterday and loving being back with her people as she spent 3 days at the vet. She enjoys playing with her Dane baby sister penny.

Oh my what a adventure and not in a good way: update on Nevaeh- Saturday we had our vet exam to update vaccinations, draw blood for a heart worm check and general exam. She tested positive for heart worms. She is being treated for them and will be fine. With that being said we decided we will have her spayed. She came into heat and is scheduled for her spay in October after she is over the stress of a heat cycle. Well today she decided to sneak and knock the cover off of Cynthia’s fish tank and proceed to gulp water- well we know with deep chested breeds like Danes they are prone to bloat, and that’s exactly what she did, we caught it immediately called our vet who is closed due to the holiday, they meet us at the clinic, inserted a stomach tube and pumped her stomach, they also did emergent surgery to put her spleen back where it was suppose to be due ti all the gas build up, tack her stomach and check for damage. Fortunately we caught it in time that they did not have to do any cutting to her stomach or intestines. She should recover fine and is restricted on food and water. We will be moving the tank as we just go home. She is with me and is under supervision. She is still a little wobbly from the anesthesia . Prayers would be appreciated for all she’s been through. On a side note we did get another Dane Saturday. She is a black female. We will update with names at a later date. She is definitely all puppy and Nevaeh loves her. We will also be having her spayed as well as these are purely pet and with no registration or anything and both were rescues so to speak. If we ever do decide to breed again you will all be the first ti know.

I hope and pray for a better day and a blessed Labor Day!

We had a house full of Danes for 15 years. Then we were a house with no Danes for a year. Even though we made a new home after the house fire we were missing having a Dane. We were reluctant to open our hearts to another gentle giant, fortunately while upgrading our cell phones our sales women just so happened to be in the process of trying to find a new forever home for her Dane. After much discussion and all we have now added a Dane to our home. Meet Nevaeh a 1.5 yr old black Dane. She’s a Velcro Dane and still very much puppy. She is intelligent and hard headed all into one. We love her. She will require additional training as we live on a farm and she’s not used to livestock and turkey, guineas, ducks, and chickens. She wants to chase what ever runs so we are working on that with lead, a training remite collar and she will have to adjust to a wireless fence collar once we finish the training. She is excellent inside but being a Velcro Dane if you love, she moves. At this time we do not plain to start our breeding program back up, if we do I will update on that in the far future. As of now we are just enjoying being a Dane owner again. Remember if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate and also we love updated pictures of your fur babies. Hope you all have a blessed day.
