A year has passed

A year ago tomorrow I was beside myself and time was standing still.
Our breeder had said any day now our new fur bundle of joy would be born.
And he finally was born.
I was flying high on happiness. I had already gotten everything in place. Crate, bedding, food, veterinarian.
And now we had to wait until he was three-years old to meet him.
That was a special day too. We went up for a weekend and the last day we were there we got to meet Baxter.
That was a LONG weekend. We couldn't focus on anything else.
It is so hard to believe a year has passed unless you look at before and after photos.
The photo I took of Baxy when he was three weeks old today looks like the tip of his nose.
He is really a very good boy. He just has way too much energy. But I know with time that will change.
He does keep us guessing.
Taking him to doggie school has been very helpful. But he needs to continue the socialization.
Friday I hope to check out a doggie day care where he can be dropped off in the morning and picked up at the end of the day tires out.
The daycare said they already have 2 other Gt Danes who frequent them.
What is also good is that they want to check us out as much as we want to check them out,
Happy Birthday Baxter. The year has flown by quickly.
