My mom called and told me there is a Great Dane female (2 yrs old), needing to be adopted. Her name is Geneva, she is fawn colored, has cropped ears, and weighs 140 pounds! She belongs to a friend of a friend of my mom's, who is ill and can't take care of the dog anymore. I have always wanted a Great Dane. They are such gorgeous, gigantic dogs.
The Mr. says no, we cannot adopt Geneva. Great Danes have a very short life expectancy (6-7 years). He does not want to get attached to a dog only to have it die a few years later. Besides, if we get a second dog, it will be a pointing Lab.
I know I'm probably not going to be able to talk him into this one. I'm still trying to convince my parents into adopting her. Wish me luck.
