Meet Our New Great Dane Puppy & The Cutest Dog Toys Ever!!
If you follow me on Instagram then you might have already seen that we got us a Great Dane puppy! But I feel bad because I have yet to share any pictures of her here on the blog. So Please let me introduce you to the newest member of our family, Stormy!
Well truely, that's what Stormy regarded just like the day we picked her up at 10 weeks vintage.
Today, Stormy is 20 weeks vintage and now looks like this:
She has already grown SO an awful lot and keeps to grow at rapid pace every day.
When my friends at Pavilion found out that we got a new puppy, they were so kind as to send Stormy some special new dog toys and accessories from their Pavilion's Pets line.
These sturdy canvas tug of war dog toys are great! Stormy has been caring them around the house with her everywhere she goes. These toys come in lots of different colors and shapes too. They even come in trees and snowman, so you may want to keep that in mind when looking for a gift for your pooch at Christmas time.
And this happy home microfiber cleaning mitt is wonderful for wiping the boogers from Stormy's eyes and the dirt off her paws. Great Danes are known to drool a lot, so I'm guessing this mitt will be perfect for cleaning that up too when we get to that point.
I put the bandanna on Stormy when we went for a walk to the park and I could just tell that she knew she looked adorable in it. I just slid her collar into the flap on the bandanna and was still able to attach her leash. These bandannas come in lots of different colors, sizes, and phrases too, but the Best Dog Ever was the perfect one for Stormy.
While we were on the park, we had to stop at the hearth hydrant (of path!) and I simply could not help however take a picture of her new toy on it :)
I have always been a huge fan of Pavilion Gift and the quality and selection of unique and thoughtful gift ideas that they carry. If you are unfamiliar with Pavilion Gift, then be sure to stop by their website and take a look around.
So now, I simply desired to share the story of ways Stormy got here to be our new pup.
You may recall, we use to have a Pug named Abby. Abby passed away in February at almost 13 years old. Abby's last year was a difficult one because she became diabetic which led to blindness. It pained me to have to give her shots twice a day and watch her struggle with daily life. The day she passed was definitely bittersweet. We all knew we would miss her very much and that one day in the future we would get us another dog.
Then comes June and I get a textual content from my husband, Jake, saying, "Ready for a brand new puppy?"
Jake turned into searching Craigslist and came across some Pyrenees-Boarder Collie Mix dogs. So that afternoon the family drove out of city to peer the dogs. The whole time I become debating if I could even deal with having the sort of huge canine in our home due to the fact I've never had a large dog before. I sincerely failed to recognise what to anticipate.
Not surprisingly the puppies were adorable! They looked like little balls of fur. But when we tried to play with the puppies all they wanted to do is go into their little dog house and sleep.
We were not feeling that, "This is our domestic dog" feeling that we were looking forward to to get.
Feeling uncertain of what to do next, I said, "allow's move see what's at the Humane Society" So we did, and we came across a cage complete of cute little mutt dogs. We were given a personal room and had them carry us a couple extraordinary dogs separately.
Again, those puppies were adorable, however all they did become crawl below the chair and sleep.
We had been so amazed, we have been anticipating to have little playful dogs leaping on us, making the lads giggle, and deciding on a favorite to carry home. But that simply wasn't the case.
So we went returned home.
Over the weekend, everyone in the family seemed a bit melancholy, especially Jake. He was really looking forward to getting a new puppy and I could see the sadness on his face because it didn't happen. I even debated going back to get the Pyrenees puppy just so we would have a puppy. I got on my iPad, looked up Craigslist and started scrolling through the pets ads.
And this is whilst, earlier than my very eyes, I see, "BLUE GREAT DANE PUPPIES"
You see, Jake has always wanted a Great Dane ever since I've know him. And not just any Great Dane, but a blue one.
(Blue is the shade they call this grey)
I showed the advert to Jake. He were given a massive smile on his face and said, "must I text the guy?"
Honestly, it took me a few minute to grasp the idea that we were probably going to go get this Great Dane puppy, and again and again I kept thinking, "Can I handle a big dog?" But looking back at Jake and that sad look on his face thinking that I might say No. I realized, this was SO meant to be! Right? Do you believe in fate? Because I do. And everything that we went through that weekend was leading the way for us to get This puppy.
Obviously, I stated, "Yes, textual content the fellow" the guy text returned with the information and mins later our family became inside the vehicle headed out of town to get us a Puppy.
When we got there, there were three puppies left. A super hyper male, a too sleepy to get up female, and one playful sweet adorable female, which is the one we choose.
On the way back home, Jake was driving, I was in the passenger seat with this little puppy on my lap. The boys were in the backseat giggling and deciding what to name our new puppy. Then all of a sudden it got really windy and rainy and by the time we got home there was a hailstorm with hail the size of marbles. It was crazy!
And I stated, "I assume we should call her Stormy!"
And so we did!
I seriously could not be in anymore love with this dog than I already am. And as far as all of the worry I had about the size she will be, I'm good with it. It's fascinating to watch her grow, especially her big paws. I love her paws!
I'm sure you will be seeing lots greater of Stormy as she makes her way into all of my domestic adorning photos.
Isn't she cute?
Thanks so much for stopping by way of,
And Thank you Pavilion for the new Dog toys and accessories. They are PawSome!
