Hadassah Hips
Trip to the vet today for xrays on Hadassah's hips...just to clear her for breeding and the results were very good! She has great hips. Way to go Hadassah. :)

Winter Exercise
Feels Good.
Early this morning I looked outside at the bright sunrise and hesitantly opened the sliding door to test the temperature. It seemed crisp and not to cold. I decided to go out for a walk. I knew Baccara would be happy to join me. So I woke her up and off we went. We walked 3.5 miles in one hour, I don’t like to walk too fast because then I don’t enjoy it as much. The sunrise was beautiful and we got to see it for most of our walk.
When I got home I entered the kitchen to find the girls flipping chocolate chip pancakes on the skillet. mmmm!!!
60 minutes and 3.5 miles = 350 calories burned
So, hey… go walk your dane.

Website Updates to See
I’ve been working on updating pictures on my website. On those nice warm days recently I took the danes down by the river and got some great pictures. Go over to the site and check them all out. Click on the “Our Pack” page and then click on the boxes to see each dogs individual page. There are new photos of Anchor, Hadassah, Baccara and Fudge. I meant to get some shots of White Cloud too but the weather got colder and the snow fell, so that might wait until spring.

Recipe... Dane Ice Cream Treats
Almost Frosty Paws “Doggie Ice Cream”
- 32 oz. vanilla yogurt
- 1 large mashed banana (or a large jar of baby food banana)
- 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons of honey
Blend together and freeze in small Dixie Cups or plastic “take out” containers. If using Dixie Cups, just peel away the paper and put directly into their food bowl to serve. My dog prefers that they “warm up” for 10-15 min. before serving.

No Snow in Chicago
It's so weird, here in Chicago we still have no snow! So, I dug up this picture from our archives to remind us of our usual dreamy white winter wonderland. This particular winter was very cold with many days of -10 degrees weather. Today in Chicagoland the forecast is 50degrees!

From a book I'm reading...
As we came near our house i could see what looked like three big white sacks of grain hanging from a crossbar at the back of our barn. I jumped off while the bays were making their circle in our yard, and ran around the barn. Our three biggest pigs were hanging there dead, with all the hair scraped off them. It kind of startled me at first, and I guess Father noticed it. He came right over and bent down on one knee beside me. Then he put his arm around my shoulder, and said, "There isn't a thing to be afraid of, or to feel bad about, Son. The only time to feel sorry for anything - or anybody - that dies is when they haven't completed their mission here on earth. These pigs' mission was to get big and fat so as to make food for us. They have done a good job of it and their mission is completed. And I do want you to know this: they didn't know what was happening, and they weren't hurt a bit - they didn't even squeal." Father could always explain things like that so I'd understand.

Way to go Anchor!
Awesome news from the vet today. I took Anchor in to get his hips xrayed and Dr. says they look fantastic.
This is such good news I told the Dr. I could kiss him!
Alas, I restrained myself.
Yay Anchor!
weight 135 lbs at 12 mths old.
