I received a telephone call from someone who had a Great Dane that needed a home. The couple was splitting up and the Dane couldn’t go with either of them. I agreed to adopt the less than one year old Mantle Dane and proceeded to go to the country to pick her up late one night. When I got to the house, through the pot holes and mud, “Baby” was in the house and delighted to have visitors. She had no idea that she was getting ready to make a trip into the unknown. After much crying and saying goodbye, I left with Baby to make the trek home.
It was very late when we got home so I put her a pallet down next to my bed and turned in. I was dead on my feet, but Baby was nervous and wide awake. She talked all night long in her own way and kept me awake so I comforted her and spent time consoling her in the new surroundings. By morning I realized that Baby had the wrong name. A Great Dane does not need a name like Baby, on the other hand, she talked all night long so I named her Lady Chatterly. Baby and Lady sounded very close so I changed her name because she earned it.
One week after bringing Lady home I integrated her successfully in with our other Dane and German Shepard. They would run and play, but unlike Lady, the other two dogs are older and just didn’t have the energy that Lady did. When Lady wore them out they were ready to lay down and rest; on the other hand Lady looked for things to keep her occupied and out of trouble.
Did I say out of trouble? Wrong!! She started on the blueberry bushes in my backyard. I guess she didn’t like the way they looked or where they were planted. Lady ripped every one of them out of the ground and chewed them up. There was nothing left to replant. She proceeded to find my telephone line which is buried 18 inches under ground and dig a hole to uncover it. Lady did not eat through the line, she just wanted to dig enough to find it. No matter how many times I filled that hole up she was determined “it is my hole and I want to keep it.” I finally filled in the hole and put large concrete blocks over it until she forgot about it.
I realized the problem was that she was bored and needed extra curricular activities besides playing with the older dogs. We started a bicycling routine and spent quality time together. This increased the bonding effort I was making and generated an outlet for her excessive puppy energy. She loved running next to the bike.
She no longer dug up any fruit trees or bushes, but she did do a really nice job of eating every limb on my fig tree down to a nub. The tree was only about 5 foot high and I had just planted it a year before. Lady was definitely a challenge. I put a fence up around the fig tree, replanted blueberry bushes with fences around them and kept the concrete blocks in place. It looked like everything was incarcerated. My backyard looked like a prison block. The fruit trees were in prison and the prisoner, Lady, was running free.
The blueberries were doing great because I planted new bushes. The fig tree was still an unknown. I knew it was still alive, but it looked like a five foot stick with no branches or leaves. I would just have to wait until spring to see what would happen.
The fig tree continued to be protected and in the spring a wondrous thing happened. Little buds came out and grew into limbs that sprouted and became a full beautiful tree. The pruning job that Lady did on the fig tree actually helped it. The tree was much fuller, greener and took off like a rocket. It is now 7 foot tall and is loaded with figs. Wonderful!!
Lady Chatterly was no lady but she made a great gardener. Let’s not tell her about what a great job she did. No need to have a repeat performance!!

Chloe died tonight. Earlier in the day we had all the dogs in the house because it was so hot outside. I had bathed all of them yesterday and today, now that they were dry, I brushed them. As they lay on the cool ceramic tile floor they languished in the treat of being let into the house and groaning with pleasure with each stroke of the comb. Chloe, my Shetland Sheepdog, kept coming up to me and my husband for a pat on the head or a snag of her nose. She loved this. It made her bark in exaltation for the special attention. For dinner I had cooked some chicken meat and added some beef drippings to the mix; this I poured over their dog food as an extra treat. Chloe was especially excited because it was her favorite treat.
This evening, after dark, I commented to my husband that it was unusually quiet outside. Chloe was the one dog that we leave out of the fenced in backyard. She never strayed from the yard and was always on guard. She kept us and every other dog in the neighborhood apprised of any danger or unusual appearances on the street. Chloe was our barker in times of trouble, so it was unusually quiet, no barking at all.
I stepped out my back door to go put the trash out for pickup in the morning and that was when I saw Chloe laying near the back door. I called her name and she did not move. I called again. I saw the tell tale sign of death as I looked at the glazed over eyes and feces on the patio. She had died alone and did not make a whimper to let us know of her passing. I like to think that her body just wore out and it was her time. Chloe was ten years old in body but still a puppy at heart.
I shall never forget how introverted and shy she was around people she did not know. She was playful, happy and curious around everything in her life. She lived and slept with cats who were good friends and she mourned the death of her sister, Duchess, six months ago. Chloe was fiercely courageous when necessary and devoted to her whole family. We shall all miss her terribly.
We love you Chloe and will remember you always.

Do you get telephone calls from your neighbors about your dog’s barking? It’s no fun and doesn’t help with neighbor relations. You need to teach your dog, in a harmless way, that excessive barking will not be tolerated. As much as you love your dog, training is
essential.
The PetSafe PBC-102 No-Bark Collar is a nylon collar with a lightweight receiver operated by a 6-volt battery. When your dog barks, the collar senses the vibrations in your dog’s throat and emits a mild static shock and a warning beep. The collar is designed to train your dog, not punish him, so the collar will shut off for a period of 3 minutes if your dog barks 15 times in less than 50 seconds.
According to a Tuskegee University study, the shocks are not harmful and have no long-term effects. The PetSafe No-Bark Collar works with dogs weighting from 15 to 120 pounds, is water resistant and is not affected by rain or snow conditions.
Following is a testimonial from a satisfied customer who rated this collar 5 STARS.
“This is a must have if you live within the city limits, have fussy or close neighbors in proximity to your yard, or have a strict home owners association that prohibits excessive dog barking. I am a lab breeder and own 3 of these units. I am very pleased with the performance and function of this product because it stops “nuisance barking” by administering a minimal buzz that gradually gets stronger the longer the dog barks the lowest setting delivers your common “prankster hand buzzer” volt. “
Train you dog to control his barking and make your neighbors happy.

I didn’t know Great Danes like water, but it wasn’t long before I found out different. Titan liked to go into the pond, but only in the shallow water up to his chest and stand in the cool water; he wouldn’t swim. Onyx would go all the way into the pond and swim, especially on hot summer days. I enjoyed watching both of them cool off.
The girls, Duchess and Chloe my Shetland Sheepdogs, would herd the geese from their pen to the pond for a swim every afternoon and post guard, one on the island and one on the bank. Any time the geese would try to get out of the pond, the girls were there to bark and chase them right back in the water.
One day the girls had just put the geese into the pond and Onyx decided he would go for a swim. This was the first time that both the geese and Onyx had been in the pond at the same time. Onyx is deaf, so he couldn’t hear all the honking going on or the barking from the bank. He could see the geese in the middle of the pond and they looked very interesting. He had to check them out. Every time he would get close to the geese, they would turn and go to the opposite bank to get away from him. When the geese got close to the bank, Duchess or Chloe would bark at them and turn them around back into the water. The geese were caught between a rock and hard place. On one side was this barking dog that would chase them back into the water, and on the other side was a behemoth trying to get to them. They were going back and forth. When the geese went to the left, Onyx would swim left. When the geese went right, Onyx would swim to the right. Onyx was stuck in the middle of the pond going around in circles. It wasn’t long before my 168 pound baby was getting tired. The dilemma was that he was in the middle of the pond and was too far away to see the hand signal I was giving him to come to me. Because he was deaf, I couldn’t call him.
Onyx started sinking and I was about to dive in when Titan came to the rescue. Titan swam out to Onyx. Once Onyx saw Titan, he followed him in to the bank. Both Great Danes were safe and pooped. I was proud that Titan showed his true colors by swimming into the “deep end” in order to save his friend despite his fear of the deep. Onyx never followed the geese again and never, ever went swimming to the middle of the pond. Titan stands in the shallow area with the water up to his chest, but he keeps an eye on Onyx just to make sure that doesn’t get himself in trouble.
Thank you Titan for coming to the rescue, once again.
