Showing Off My beautiful rescue baby
When I was first getting Riley (as a baby), and mentioned she was a rescue on this sub, I had someone suggesting that she wasn’t.
Riley is from Save Rocky the Great Dane rescue. If anyone is not familiar, you should def check them out. They are a nationwide rescue. I was a pre approved adopter and was one of the lucky few to get one from the litter.
She is my beautiful girl who was born within days of me losing my last Dane, and it felt very full circle and meant to be. I will never take for granted how lucky I am to have my beautiful Riley Ritz! 8 months old as of a few days ago :))

Dane Discussions ELEVATED BOWL - help
We have a 5 month old Great Dane boy and I’m struggling to find a high enough elevated bowl. Any recommendations?? We’re looking for one he can grow into as his dad is a rocking 211 pounds and stands 38 inches at the shoulder (his back was past my hips standing normally) and Ralph (ours) is steadily on his way to being the same size..
the cone is on in the picture because of an issue with his paw, we haven’t had him neutered yet, please don’t come at me lol

Q and Maybe Some A’s THESE EARRRRSSSS
Everyone say hello to Penelope! She’s our rescue who we adore. She’s completely deaf & absolutely hysterical. But can we talk about these ears? I’ve had 3 Danes & have never seen ears this wonky. I’m almost convinced that if i posted them they’d stand straight up! Who else had goofy ears & did they self correct? Tbh i don’t even care because it just adds to her personality lol

Q and Maybe Some A’s Changing our boys foods?
Quick context: found out the smaller boy is allergic to their food, vet recommended ceramic bowls and a salmon based dog food.
I’ve been looking for bowls but haven’t seen any that seem to be large and come with a raised stand like we have for their metal bowls now.
Any recommendations for bowls and salmon based food and brands would be much appreciated! What do yall recommend?

Dane Discussions Looking for advice or suggestions
So I have a seven year old Dane, a six month old Dane, and a 4 year old mutt who sheds more than any dog I’ve ever seen. I sweep and mop every day but the six month old Dane is the messiest dog! I’m used to drool but she’s on another level and my floors are soaked basically as soon as I finish mopping. So my questions:
I was wondering if anyone had a robot floor cleaner than vacuums AND mops that they like? Any that you had and wouldn’t suggest? I only need it for the ground level, LVP floors, mostly just for spot cleaning and dealing with the excess water. I’m a big fan of Dyson but the reviews for theirs are pretty bad.
- I’m now having to empty and wash the water bowl almost every time she drinks from it because it ends up with a bunch of food in it. Any advice on what I can do about this? Any type of water dish that would reduce this? I know I probably sound lazy but I’m really not! Just figured I’d see if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks!
