Zailey is a LadyDane!

So, the result of all that trampoline jumping Monday has been PAINFUL. Yesterday I was kind of sore, but today I'm so sore I can hardly move without wanting to scream, and forget about actually using muscle.

Anyway, so we bit the bullet and got a pretty nifty camera which we've wanted to do for a long time. I'm learning how to use it still, but we're making progress. It's really fun to take pictures of the dogs... and it makes it easy that they're so dang good looking. Haha.


But, what I really wanted to announce, is that miss Zailey is a lady today! She started her first heat this morning. She wants pretty much nothing to do with any of the other dogs, much to Freya's dismay, and Mousse has a new found interest in her, much to Zailey's dismay. This new dynamic will be annoying. She is super mellow and cuddly today which is not exactly in true Zailey fashion, but I'll take it!

I can't believe she's grown up so fast. She is 14 months old now, and it seems like just yesterday she was a little spotty ball of Dane puppy. Now she's a full blown lady Dane!

That also means that we have more of a time frame on our first litter. Pending PennHIP, OFA Heart, and OFA Thyroid tests, (For Zailey, Mousse is already tested and cleared!) and assuming she has a somewhat regular cycle, we will be having our first Zailey x Mousse litter around May 2012.
