On Christmas I got a new Great Dane puppy that I names Grace. She is black with white on her feet and chest. She got her ears cropped six weeks ago, and they have been posted five times now. At first the vet told me that they would only take two postings but then she broke the cartilage in them so they needed at least two to three more. And of course they still will not stand properly and now I don’t know how many more postings her ears will need. But I love her to death, I really do though she is a handful. She gets into everything and she really does eat my homework if I’m not paying any attention to her. Like yesterday I was working on an advanced placement class project and she chewed on one of my newspaper articles. Thank goodness I could still use it.

Lately I have been walking three miles everyday and she loves to walk with me, it gets all of her extra energy out - so why wouldn’t I let her come with me? Well I soon found out why not to let her walk with me. Sense she is still a puppy the pads on her feet are very tender and walking on rough sidewalks and blacktop make them bleed. Now she is my baby and I didn’t want her to walk because I didn’t want them to become infected so I carried her about a quarter of the way. Well I don’t have much upper body strength and carrying a forty-one pound fifteen-week old puppy is not fun. But as I said before she is my baby and I will do anything for her.
