What I Miss About My Great Dane

What I miss about my Great Dane:

• His deep bark whenever anyone came to the door or on the property
• His “whisper” he did in puppy training
• His fierce protection of our family
• His super soft ears
• His huge front paws
• How he was obsessed with food
• His kind, gentle nature
• His obsession with routine
• His intense dislike of any change
• Him in the garage every day as I worked out
• His whining at my TrueForm runner
• Being scared of his own shadow
• How he laid on the front porch every morning to soak up the sun’s rays, blocking the front door
• How he was insanely jealous of his sister, Jewel
• How he pulled during walks and I couldn’t ever get him to stop
• How he was afraid of the dog ramp
• How the first day we moved, he got out, when down a dirt road, and stopped and barked till we came and got him
• His look when he did something wrong, but he loped anyway
• His droopy eyes
• How he kept getting sunstroke when he couldn’t walk and got stuck in the sun
• How I picked him up every day when he couldn’t walk, not wanting to ever let him go…
• His cute winter sweater
• The day I knew he was ready to go home
