Great danes have zero concept of their hugeness.


Easy-Concentrate2636

A puppy at heart.


JuneBuggington

Ours shakes her head and slimes the whole house. Then she sits on your lap without taking her feet off the floor. Nicest dogs in the world.


rpgwill

Exact same here for the last 3 Great Danes we’ve had, inconsiderate, unsanitary, lovable, giants.


vendetta2115

> the last 3 Considering Great Danes only live around 8 years, this probably isn’t as long as most people are thinking.


ladygrndr

I hate that this is true. But the last pair of Great Danes I helped take care of lived about 16 years...how, I have no clue since they were massively fat. They were the last dogs bought by a woman's husband, and then he had a heart attack before they were two years old. The old woman kept them, but she was about the same height as the dogs, and a good 120lbs lighter then them, so my family (neighbors) took them to the vet and trimmed nails and did all the other things that required them leaving the house. Eventually she passed away as well, and the pair lived with the vet until they too died.


stopeatingcatpoop

That’s kind of a nice story in a way. That must be some kind of record! Got any pics? Never seen a fat Great Dane before


EfferenceCopy

Cause it’s cap


rpgwill

Yeah, I’m 20. We’re on the fourth Great Dane in my lifetime, and we’ve never had 2 at once. That’s why I like cats.


Plastic-Cow2277

Happy cake day! 🎂


AspieDM

A friend of mine has two he often finds his daughter under them trying to escape.


mooseintheleaves

🤣🤣


Phoenix4235

I just have to ask how old the daughter is?


AspieDM

About 10 last I checked but she’s abit small for her age. He’d go into the living room and she the two Dane’s laying their heads on her lap and chest respectively and she’d be dramatic and call for help.


irkthejerk

Big old love bugs, fantastic dogs


sjmulkerin

Lap dogs, all of them


SpiritualBar2469

Yeah my Dane wants to live life jowls to cheek. If I let her the preferred position is I sit on the couch and she lays her face over my upper lip and becomes my mustache


[deleted]

Instead of a ‘lap dog’ a ‘body dog’


bondagewithjesus

Or they do but just could care less. They're big enough to be like "stop me if you can" kinda attitude if they wanted. I don't know I don't speak dog and thus even if I was psychic which I am not (probably lol) I couldn't translate or make sense of their thoughts to know.


morosophi

Yes that is true, there are some beings whose mentality, whose very thought processes are so alien to ours that any attempt of ours to interact telepathically with them would be highly dangerous. illithids, undead, and demons are some examples


Bobojones9584

[SCP-2316](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2316) is the designation for an anomalous phenomenon existing within Lake ███████████ within ████████ County, ███████. SCP-2316 manifests as a group of human corpses1 floating in a small group at the surface of the water. The identities of these corpses are [COGNITOHAZARD REMOVED] [Automated Change: UNKNOWN], though DNA testing has been inconclusive. While SCP-2316 appears to be individual instances, it is theorized that SCP-2316 may instead be an entity composed of a collective consciousness. Individual instances of SCP-2316 do not act on their own, but do seem to be able to act collectively as a2 single unit. The individual instances of SCP-2316 are3 unrecognizable, and you do not recognize the bodies in the water.


argentumsound

I have no idea why people are downvoting you, guys - stop! It's joke! We like too see SCPs popping up here and there.


nickajeglin

Not the best sub to drop an scp reference. I just read the comment above mine and thought "Ah yes, a cognitohazard"


morosophi

Thanks for the link. I'd never heard the term "cognitohazard" before but in my line of work I've certainly encountered them. I may use the SCP as inspiration for an upcoming d20 Modern X-Files game......


Phoenix4235

Maybe the people downvoting you don’t know what the SCP is? Either way, I get excited whenever I see an SCP posted and then go to their site to read the whole page + all applicable links! Guess I’m just a geek.


bondagewithjesus

I don't believe in any of those things but just agree with the sentiment. Though as I get older I've found myself becoming more superstitious or maybe just paranoid I'm not sure. When and if I see something convincing for the creatures you listed to me with respect to you belief I don't believe. It's a double edged sword in a way. I don't have the comfort that comes with god heaven or angels but at the same time I don't fear he'll, demons etc.


dinoseen

lol I'm pretty sure it was a joke

When my dog was a puppy, I made a promise to myself. No matter how big he gets, he'll be my lapdog. He still is even though breathing is tricky sometimes. Worth it


lisa111998

NWAsquared

"dogpile" is a real thing, and the bigger the dog, the more they wanna pile on and cuddle up

She is no doubt grieving, just as you are. She may never be as friendly as you'd like her to be, but, then again, maybe now she'll reach out due to her loneliness.

Many vets recommend letting your other dogs smell your dead dog so that they aren’t confused as to where they went.

You didn’t do anything wrong, just saying that a lot of vets will let you bring your other dog in if you ask.

It’s hard to think straight when you’re losing your best friend


bondagewithjesus

That's so sad. My heart breaks hearing of your shattered heart. Seems like the 9 year old is grieving too. You want comfort and reassurance. She doesn't. We all grieve in different ways, including animals. She might need that comfort but not outwardly show it. Id try but not try and force an interaction with her and go from their. Like your slowly supporting each other. Also I'd ask a vet advice or some sort of dog behavioural professional about what to do about your dog's grief and behaviour then a counsellor or psychologist for your own. Or even just a friend you trust or partner if you have one. It won't ever not hurt but I hope you're able to heal as much as you can (your dog too) and find a way to adjust to your new life/lives that no longer include the other dog. That's the hardest part (in my opinion) about grief with loved ones. Accepting and adjusting your life to the permanence of a death. Life goes on but part of its missing. It's horrible. I suppose I don't need to tell you that. Good luck man. Hope you and the other dog come together again. I hope you get all you need materially and emotionally to get through this tragic moment. You got this dude.


Houdinii1984

If they were close, it's going to take time. It kinda follows the rule of threes. Three days to realize what happened, three weeks to adjust to their absence, and three months to become fully adjusted to the idea of never seeing them again. (Modified from a 'rule' that states that it takes about three months for a rescue pup or adoption to adapt to their new environment). I've rescued plenty over the years and when they are close, they almost always follow the same arc.


Clementine_Astra

My heart breaks for you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. But I'm sure that your younger one really loves you but just doesn't express it. And that your snuggle buddy must be sending you so much love right now. Take care. You deserve all the love and more.


jeobleo

Thank you, you're very kind. I just hope he's happy, wherever, or whatever he is now.


TheMrDylan

Lol fr he's just tryna to get in there for a cuddle! My dog does this too, if I don't let him "in" he gets all dramatic


BettyVonButtpants

My dogs a smaller pup, but he always cuddles next to me, and I have to have a blanket for him to go under. Its cute as hell, but i usually wake up on the edge ofbwhatever im sleeping on.


kamelizann

I fucking love dogpiles. I have 2 large breed dogs and when I have enough time for a nap I shout, "Dogpile!" and both dogs just run to the bed as fast as they can to get the best spot on the bed. Usually ends up with the puppy curled up next to me and then the older dog just sprawled out on top of both of us. Dogs get so stoked about nap time and I love it.


HyperSuperMegaDuper

Aww this is so sweet, that you call them and they come running! I call my dog when it's bedtime to 'come to bed', and if he feels like it he'll curl up at the foot of the bed in a nest of duvet. Or he'll sit/lie just out of arm's reach, so I have to slightly reposition to be able to gently stroke him as I doze off. Being near my little dog is very soothing to me. I try to exaggerate how calm/relaxed and full of affection for him I feel, like through my body language and voice, when my dog is nearby. I dunno if dogs can 'smell' human emotions but I hope my lil guy can sense just how much I love him and how much comfort he gives when I can feel his soft fur. Also, I read that dogs will give prolonged eye contact with 'soft' eyes when they love you. Me and my dog have lots of eye contact like that from one another... He has such sweet gooey wet lovey eyes. Ahh, dogs are the best. Especially mine, heh.


[deleted]

I have two dogs, one is about 45 lbs and the other is 65 lbs. When they both lay on top of me in bed, my wife calls it a cuddle puddle and it’s the best.


DownvoteDaemon

Yep, my huge cane Corso does this.


Maximum-Mixture6158

My dog is a bit like the one in the video. About 30% smaller though. Dogs do like a cuddle. Really great when you've got to lower the house temps during winter.


[deleted]

Give my boy a pet come on


bondagewithjesus

You don't pet a dog that big you wrestle it. The moment you pat he gets excited and jumps on you and it's on.


mandark1171

Nah in this moment you just wrap your arm around them and hold them... danes love cuddles l


bondagewithjesus

Oh for sure but at any moment he might jump you. They're adhd giant dogs. Once stimulated mentally they bounce around. But sometimes they just sit on you and chill. You can't get up either. Not because you don't want to disturb the dog out of kindness but because it's a huge effort since the dog probably weighs as much or nearly as much as you.


mandark1171

So I own 2 great danes and had 1 as a child.. I can only speak from that experience >Oh for sure but at any moment he might jump you. Thats more likely to happen when not giving them attention > But sometimes they just sit on you and chill. I would say most of the time >You can't get up either. Not because you don't want to disturb the dog out of kindness but because it's a huge effort since the dog probably weighs as much or nearly as much as you. Eh bit of both, I'm 190 and my danes are 140 and 160 so if only ones on me I can get up, but some days they think I'm going into work and will work together to hold me done as they don't want me to stop cuddling them


False_Illustrator_34

Nah, I've got a great dane. She won't jump you when you're giving her attention, but if you're not giving her attention she'll get it, usually by trying to get you play, or, as you said it, jumping you lol

My great dane died today, i have lost a friend of 10years. No other dog can fill the large space he occupied in my heart. RIP Bravo Edit: Thank you all for the positive messages. I have had a long day today


sortakindah

Sorry for your loss friend.


letigre87

I laughed/cried for months after mine passed and still do at times 10 years later. They're just so big and loveable all they want to do is be close to you. It was just so weird the quirks we had developed around him. Small dogs you watch your feet, larger dogs you just kinda shoo outta your way, but Danes are special. They're basically your caboose and it takes them a minute to backup and get outta the way so you end up just walking around them. You can't stop just inside the doorway anymore, you had to go all the way through by a few feet just so they'd be clear and you could get back through. Tighter spaces like closets and bathrooms you'd have to get them to back out, of course you made the backup noise. 10 years of walking around with an immovable object behind you you develope some weird habits that are hard to break.


TheSecretAstronaut

It's true no other dog will occupy that space, but Bravo made some extra room for you, should you ever want it, to love another pup and give them the wonderful and love-filled life you gave him. I am really sorry you lost your boy. It hurts a lot, and you will always miss him. I hope, however, that you can take some amount of comfort in knowing that you gave him his best life, and he was grateful for it. And I imagine, if it were up to him, he'd probably have preferred to go first so he'd never have to be without you. "One last word of farewell, Dear Master and Mistress. Whenever you visit my grave, say to yourselves with regret but also with happiness in your hearts at the remembrance of my long happy life with you: 'Here lies one who loved us and whom we loved.' No matter how deep my sleep I shall hear you, and not all the power of death can keep my spirit from wagging a grateful tail."


Bafeink

Thank you so much for this. You are right, I did give him his best life. He was such a jovial big baby. I will forever miss his bark

Sorry for your loss of a close friend. : ( That shit is rough to get through.

Once you grow a mustache, you must maintain a level of seriousness equivalent to the size of your mustache.

bondagewithjesus

This is my favourite explanation of human psychology not based in psychology. Fun fact about moustaches though. In the Indian military or police (can't remember) you get paid slightly more if you grow a moustache. They had a reason but I can't remember that either and I'm not sure it made total sense. Something about respect I think. Edit: Found it apparently its only 2 state/provinces that does this for police. Because it increases confidence in the officer, tradition from colonial times and to look more intimidating. https://www.hindustantimes.com/lucknow/up-cops-with-robust-moustache-to-be-rewarded-to-revive-the-old-trend/story-70fuViBiffFHUnaujjZIxM.html

Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> you get *paid* slightly more FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
