Update on Sir Lancelot... He is eating and drinking well, finally. He has his moments where he snubs his food, but eventually gets around to it. I think he is hoping we will add some people treats to it, which is a no-no in our house. Since he drags his toes while he walks and his nail are nubs that bleed, we are in the process of trying out different boots, without going crazy on expenses. Until then, the Pawz have worked fine, we just keep adding duct tape when a tear happens. Since XL comes in green, and using the silver or red duct tape we had on hand, he looked very decked out for Christmas.
He and Cinderella get along just fine. She has only swatted him twice, and that was because he "licked her ears". (Now there is a sentence I never thought I would ever say... "Sir Lancelot licked Cinderella's ears.") She walks between his legs and hasn't been stepped on. When she is sitting high and he wants her attention, he will let out a little bark, and she just stares him down. When she sends out a high-pitched howl, he will come see if she is OK. She had her first vet appointment, which went very well. She is being treated for ear-mites, so she has sensitive ears. We didn't know her exact age, so the vet is estimating she is between 2-3 years old. She is very curious exploring every space in our house, and is starting to show signs of wanting to sneak outside, which we are hoping to avoid.
Stay tuned for an introduction from Lance himself.
Happy New Year from The Parents.

OH my goodness, that is SO nice of you to mention my new store! Thank you so much! :-)
So orry I haven't visited in ages...I can't believe we missed Sasha's passing! :-( I am so sorry. I feel terrible now. I have fallen so behind with blog friends. Sasha was such a special doggie and it was a great honour to have known her.
I am looking forward to getting to know Sir Lancelot and Cinderella!
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
We're so happy to see you back with a Dane! Sir Lancelot is most handsome. We hope his tummy problems will work themselves out. What is the story with his rear legs and the toe dragging? He seems to have good medical skills, or a good nose; he identified Cinderella's ear mites before you did, with all that licking. We wish you a Happy New Year and many wonderful years ahead with your new fur family!
