Thank you for your condolences. I, time to time, visit this thread to remember.
Well anyway, last week, I was staying at a hotel next to another hotel, where there was a Great Dane dog show and there were 10 Great Danes doing nature.
Petted then, they were gentle and great creatures.
Thank you for remembering. My wonderful Dane still lives within me. There is no other breed of dog that can do this to a person.
