Meet and Greet

First of all, sorry it has been a little while since my last post! Work has been keeping me really busy (lots of pigs born!) and I haven't had too much time to do anything fun and exciting with Miss Keena. Today, however, was a very fun day! I mentioned before that I am in the process of becoming a volunteer for the Forever Friends Great Dane Rescue Inc. in Indianapolis and today was the first meet and greet that Keena and I were able to go to. Meet and greets are a good way for the rescue to get donations and raise awareness for rescuing neglected and abused Danes. I was so excited to meet and greet! Keena was equally excited when I got our things together to leave...she knows when we are getting ready to go into the car! Charles and I pulled into the Bella's Dog Bakery & Biscuit Company and had a wonderful afternoon! Keena met a few other danes and other doggies that came in with their owners to buy some delicious treats that Bella's Dog Bakery makes. The owners there are so nice and spent time talking to us and of course loving on Keena. These meet and greets are really great ways to help people understand more about this wonderful breed. There are so many misconceptions about Great Danes, most of which are ridiculous! Some of the most common are that Danes eat 50 lbs of dog food a day, they take up tons of space, and that they destroy any and everything in your house. One man even asked me if I spend 150$ a week to feed her! Are you kidding me? I don't spend 150$ a MONTH to feed ME!!!! Some people say that there are no stupid questions....but since owning Keena, I'd have to say that's not correct! Anywho, Keena, Charles and I had a wonderful time and I even bought her a 3 ft long piece of jerky! Don't worry....she didn't eat it all in one sitting. :)

This is Molly, her owner works at the bakery. (see those Jerky sticks to the right of her...that is what we ended up buying for her. She kept trying to steal one out of the container!)

This is Sosie. She is the doggie spokes "person" for the Forever Friends Great Dane Rescue Inc. She is wearing a donation cape! It has pockets for peopl to put in their donations.

Switch!

Part of her giant jerky I broke it into smaller pieces. It left a mess on my floor.

Keena's new collar that Charles bought her! Stunning, I know!
