Lily, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lily
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane
Home: Anacortes, Washington, USA
 
   Lily is special because she is the sweetest, most considerate Great Dane on the planet! She is my first rescue Great Dane and I love her to pieces. All I can figure out is that the previous owners just didn't want to keep her. There's nothing wrong with her! I've been a Dachshund owner for 20+ years and love that breed to pieces, too. That's Max she is sitting with so carefully - she's perched on the edge of the chair, so he isn't getting squished!

    Great Danes are snugglers to the max! She has to be with me all the time and I love that. At her height, it's hard to ignore her when she wants your attention...sitting in a chair, her face is level with mine! We walk in the forest lands with a few neighbor friends. I should say that Lily crashes through the forest lands while the Weimy she runs with glides through! We have endless hours of laughs and giggles watching her sniff everything in sight and run like a gazelle!

    Lily likes to go bowling for humans. She and I were walking one day and while she was desperately looking for that "perfect spot" to "do her thing," she hit me with her shoulder and I went to the ground! After she was done, she come over to me and looked at me as if to ask, "What are you doing on the ground? Aren't we going for a walk?" I was nursing my pride more than my hands and bum, so we got up and continued our walk!

    Lily is a friend to most everyone, though I'm quite certain she would protect me with all her might if required. She doesn't drool like some Danes. She gives the sweetest little kisses, though she could cover your face with her tongue. She doesn't counter-surf like some Danes. She walks beautifully on a leash. She is a happy dog who loves life! She doesn't ever go far from my side when she's off leash... she's the perfect dog and I love her so much! I hope you can see how beautiful and sweet she is.
