You may be asking yourself where has the beloved Great Dane been these last few months.  I know I have been away from my computer but I had some “issues”.  Really, I had one issue…Happy Tail Syndrome.  Basically, I wagged my tail too fast and too hard.  It became a weapon of mass destruction, especially to itself.  Dr. Edwards had to take about 6 inches off of the tail because of tissue and nerve damage (don’t worry, I still have plenty to wag).  Mom and Dad got to stay home with me for a whole 7 weeks.  They complained about not being able to leave the house, but I ignored the whining.  I had fun.  They baked me homemade treats, took me hiking and all kinds of fun stuff.  Good news is my tail is all healed.  It’s thicker on the end so I won’t hurt it again.

I still go to the office everyday.  What can I say?  No one would get anything done around there without me.  My job is simple.  I provide the opportunity for them to scratch my ears (or my rear, depending on how I’m standing).  Occasionally, they get to give me a treat.  It’s s tough job, but someone has to do it.  I have a bed in Mom’s office and a bed in Dad’s office.  If Mom is in, I’m with her.  If not, Dad is a decent standby.  So I don’t leave anyone out, I let Mrs. Courtney take me outside once a day.  It’s exhausting spreading my essence to everyone, but again, they couldn’t do it without me.
