B is for Beau

Beau

Beau is our fourth Great Dane in 34 years of marriage. He is our second "rescue" Great Dane from the Willamette Great Dane Rescue. We got him a year and a half ago from a home where he was abused by a man who wore a hat:( He had a fear of men for a long time but is better with my husband and son but still has a fear of other men. 

In the last year and half we have had a hard time getting him to eat his dog food. We buy high quality dog food for him  but he turns up his nose at it and has continued to get thinner and thinner. Well, it appear that his previous family fed him "people" food and even took him through the drive-thru at McDonald's to get him hamburgers! No wonder he doesn't want dog food. So we have started mixing his dog food with some "people" food and he is eating every last bite! I have always been opposed to giving the dogs "people" food because the vet says it's not good for them but it's not good for the dog to get so thin either!

Beau and Rocky

Beau and our English Bull Dog, Rocky, are the best of friends! They play together and lie on the floor together in front of the wood stove. One of their favorite activities is wrestling in the living room:( 

I hope you enjoyed meeting Beau! 

Thanks for stopping by during the A to Z Blog Challenge. Stop by tomorrow for the letter C!

The Dog Ate My Homework!

Well, not exactly my homework, but close! I usually sit on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table to blog, do Stampin' Up! orders, blog surf, etc. This morning was no different. I had my Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog on the couch next to me with papers spread all over the couch. My mistake was when I left it there forgetting that our precious "little" English Bulldog puppy Rocky can jump on the couch and loves to chew up magazines and such. Sooo...
this is what my catalog looked like AFTER he had already chewed up the Retiring Accessories List and the Occasions Mini Carryover List! Good thing I caught him when I did. And it's a good thing we only have one more month to use this catalog! My catalog usually looks pretty tattered by the time the new one comes out (next week!!!) but this one will definitely takes the cake!


The culprit is our 8 month old English Bulldog. He thinks everything belongs to him and he doesn't think anything is off limits for him. He is finding out, however, that the garden is definitely off limits--we put up an electric fence after he ate all of the kale and had started on the asparagus patch!


He is so cute it is hard to get mad at him even when he is really naughty. And he has the best disposition of any dog we have ever had. Today at the vet he weighed in at nearly 43 pounds! Getting really hard to pick him up! 


The other day our Great Dane Beau was outside and Rocky was on the couch. He saw Beau out the window and jumped up in the window sill behind the couch to chew Beau out!


He thinks he is the boss of everybody--kinda like my daughter when she was little--so thought he could tell Beau he couldn't come in!


Have a great day and guard your Stampin' Up! catalog--at least till you get your new one:)  Kat
