About Dan's Great Dane, Zara

​

...Ever found an apple in your bed? 

​

I have. And I was stunned because I don't keep apples in my bed. 

​

I keep them in the apple bowl downstairs on the counter. 

​

Well, it turns out this Great Dane, Zara, takes apples off the counter when I'm on the phone and she feels she's not getting the attention she needs! 

​

...It's just one of many odd quirks that come along with living with Zara, my 180-pound Great Dane.

 

You can see her below engaging in one of her other odd quirks: callous disregard for obvious rules! 

 

Here, she stands on the furniture:

And here she wakes up from her nap on my outdoor dinner table:

Anyway, that's what you get when living with Zara. Just when you think she's calmed down (she's older now), she comes up with a new one for you. 

​

Harmless shenanigans aside, she's a pretty good dog to live with. Since Great Danes are a low-energy breed, we spend a lot of time just laying on the couch and relaxing together. 

​

When we're not doing that, we do go on walks, short hikes, and brief excursions to the dog park. 

​

She takes her job as protector of my property a little too seriously. And I do my best to help her realize when protection is or is not needed. 

​

Overall, she's a great dog. And her companionship and protection I both need and appreciate. 

​

And I'll be sure to show your dog(s) or cat(s) the same bit of love and attention I give Zara!
