My Dad’s family used to raise Great Danes on their farm; two named Fasolt and Fafnir (they were brothers) were their pets. I bet he saw numerous scenes like the above.

@barney, thanks for the heads up! I thought Danes were an interesting choice for service dogs. In most cases their size can be a limitation, their short lifespans are a disheartening feature, and they are expensive to keep. But then I saw they are used for people with balance problems and mobility issues and it all made sense. Simba used to stand steady to help me rise from sitting on curbs or the floor, and if I stumbled when we walked he was there to catch myself on his solid strength. He would definitely have been a great help for someone with balance issues.

- @llangley Oh, there’s lots of things to look at on explore.org – it’s one of my favorite places to visit. I could spend the whole day just looking around at the different places.

I went to check out the bat cam but they are inside since it’s too cold.

Hopefully I’ll see them soon!

I just watched a puppy sort of fight another puppy for a nipple while laying on top of a different nipple. S/he lost and slid back over the pile of puppies while another puppy moved right onto the second nipple. They’re so cute at that age where they’re kind of wrestling, but so tiny and awkward that they’re more propping each other up.

Aw. They’re sleeping again now.
