I made a chicken dish a week or two ago. I used a seasoning I had purchased but not used in a while. We were eating and I asked, “What do you think?” I got a lukewarm “It’s good.” but I knew the truth. Now it was a “zesty” seasoning, but it was missing something. I knew very well what it was missing, so I brought it up. “The seasoning I used was a no-salt/no-sugar mix.”

We both made that face.

We now pull the toys from the pups once they’ve become small enough to be swallowed. We’ve had one or two ER visits for that.

The “Yahoo” banner seems a bit unfortunate and ill-placed in light of the topic.

We had one die at seven. He was a good boi and we were heartbroken. Our PITA Dane lived till 11. She was a pain right up when we had to take her in. In the parking lot she wanted to fight rando dogs. Lol, give it up, girl. You can’t hardly move!

We had one with medical issue and he died at three. He was a wonderful tempered dog and it was tragic. They are heartbreak dogs with those short lifespans, but they also are very cool dogs during their prime. We said no more Danes, but here we are again with two.

That’d be a Harlequin. We have two Danes at the moment (black and brown, not Harlequins) and have had several. We love the breed, but they don’t live as long as we’d like.
