More play with Camelot



I'm very fortunate having such a gentle understanding adult Dane to help me raise little Odin.

Odin's first encounter with baloons



Never seen this before, can't figure what the heck it is.

Odin and Camelot bonding with play



Camelot has shown incredible patience with Odin and tolerate his constant desire for playing.

Odin is 5 months old

Odin has reached the age of 5 months. He's growing up too fast! He's such a great puppy! Potty trained in 2 days, have not destroyed anything.... yet! Plays with my big Dane Camelot all day long. Eats his raw food with no issues.

Camelot and Odin

My two current Danes Camelot (5 yrs) and Odin (5 mos) are developing a strong bond and friendship. It has been interesting to see how Camelot have changed. First he could not really figure out how to interact with little Odin when he wanted to play. Odin immediatley took to Camelot as his big brother and friend. Camelot not sure what this new guy was all about tried to avoid him. Slowly Camelot accepted Odin's presence and understood that all little Odin wanted was to play. Now Odin can lay on top of Camelot and they play tug of war, play bite and wrestle. Out on our walks when we meet other dogs Camelot will keep an eye on Odin and if other dogs play too rough with his little brother he will separate them with a short growl and use his big body to protect Odin.

Rex is gone

October 18th 2011.  I made the incredible difficult decision to send my dear Rex to his next life. He was no longer able to walk by himself. His difficult childhood finally caught up with him.

He was given a few more years to live at the age of 4 when I adopted him. Rex fought back and gave me 9 great years.

Rex's battle with a poisonous spider bite - July-19-2011

June 19
It's now apparent that the wound his getting smaller. In all the years I have had dogs I have never experienced anything like this. It blows my mind that a tiny little spider can cause so much damage. I also have a black Great Dane and there is no way I could discover any colorization on him and catch this in an early stage, quite frightening.
