For some reason I didn’t realize Great Danes were mastiffs. Oh well, no biggie.
What’s funny is I don’t like dogs, but there is something in me that says I have to own a Great Dane before I die. I don’t know why, there is just something about the dog that I love. I also have a love, although not as big, for the Pyranian mastiff. I can do without a bull mastiff, however the movie Turner and Hooch just cracked me up!! (yep, Hooch was a bull mastiff).
My ultimate goal is to go to Colorado to the Great Dane rescue and adopt 2 Danes, male and female, and their names will be Marmalade and Marmaduke (Duke and Lady). However, if I adopt 2 older dogs they’ll keep their own names. That’d be like my husband changing my first name once we got married.
It’s been awhile since I looked into the rescue, so I hope they are still open when I get the chance to do this. Unfortunately, right now our house is too small and the back yard isn’t fenced. Due to the economy we could barely feed ourselves let alone a big ol’ dog, so we’ll have to wait just a bit. Ideally I’ll complete my live in the country goal first, then the room issue shouldn’t be a problem.
One step at a time I guess :)
