garyeanderson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Turbox Thank you for posting Archie’s pictures. Itbrings back great memories as my Auntand Uncle had a Great Dane while I was growing up, I think he was couple yearsold when I was born so that’s about 60 plus years ago. His name was Jeffery andwas probably about the same size. He had a daily route though the woods in Lake Orion, Mi. that was about 5 milesand he would stop at every friendly house for handouts, 15 years after he wasgone the trails were still there as he pounded the ground so hard that nothing wouldgrow on the path. He had a pretty good appetite for almost anything but limabeans, he would clear all of the leftovers and out the side of his jowls wouldexit said lima beans without the least disruption in chewing the rest. Not manyphotos unless he was sleeping as the flash bulbs scared him and the only thing thatyou saw was a tail in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 When i was a kid growing up i always wanted a fawn colored Dane. Danes are just so Majestic. It wasnt until i was a bit older that i could get one. Need a shovel, and a garbage bag when you go for a walk though...Im thinking i should have thought this one through a little more...

Isn't that the truth! But, they are worth the extra effort. Just don't do what my neighbor did. She/they fell in love with our Dane, so she went out and got one. Then they "rescued" a "Blue" who weighed in at 175lbs with not an ounce of fat. THEN.... they rescued another older Dane. With three Danes in a city backyard, well..... Lets just say, you had to "tippy-toe" through the backyard! LOL They ended up giving two away, when the marriage failed. "He" kept the original "harlequin" named "Dukie" after the famous "Marmaduke" from the comics. Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Oh, another thing people don't take into consideration when getting a Great Dane..... Their tail is right at "crotch" height and a "Happy" Dog could be a very dangerous thing to the men in the family! [^o)] Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly my Aunt got pretty good with a steel snow shovel down in the basement when Jeffery was a puppy, she was a good sized women too. My uncle was away a lot and it was really her dane. That dog took up a lot of room in the back of a 57 Ford station wagon, That was a pair that no one messed with in Detroit back in the day...

rennoc442 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Speaking of dogs, anyone want to adopt any??? I found a pair of beautiful pit bulls in our front yard, and well in the neighborhood. No chips, non aggressive, very friendly. I want to find a home for them since I cant keep 4 dogs in this small house! I am in orlando fl.

jhoak Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 D@mn Kimba... I really wish I could help you out with those guys but I'm just barely feeding myself lately. Should my job situation change soon I'll take at least one an maybe both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That one kind of looks like ginger, but a little darker. Good luck finding them a home, it is a lot harder finding pit bulls homes. Especially around here most city's in the area have bans on them. Nice looking dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially around here most city's in the area have bans on them. Nice looking dog. They are both very nice dogs, sad to see what happend. It seems as though they belonged to a home up the road in our subdivision, but the home is now foreclosed and they just left the dogs behind. I am trying to take them to a no kill shelter, but its kinda full/busy as it is. Jeff, what you cant stop eating to fed some dogs??!![6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
