Those 2 are approaching the age of 8 years old and Great Danes expected life span is listed at 8 to 10 years, though some say up to 12 and a few say on special diets you can get even more out of them. They are both healthy dogs, but so was Coco. She went down, fast. I mean, 3 weeks from healthy to dead is pretty fast as far as I'm concerned. <br />Anyway, I will probably get another dog, but it will have to be the "right" one and in that scenario, I am in no huge hurry. <br />benBenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09010864129122224612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728287180412980995.post-49380303994264090192012-03-05T22:01:47.150-07:002012-03-05T22:01:47.150-07:00Hi Ben

His fantastic breeder gave us another Golden (Cody) 3 months later. <br /><br />At the time she said "take time to grieve". I think it's 'when you're ready' to open your heart and have another beautiful dog enter your life. <br /><br />Coco will always be in your heart, the same as Charlie is to us and you'll never forget her. <br /><br />I also agree with 'S' above, a home does get awfully quiet. <br /><br />Lynne<br />Western AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728287180412980995.post-86993487305980440792012-03-05T20:18:04.392-07:002012-03-05T20:18:04.392-07:00We were without a dog in the house for 2 months af...We were without a dog in the house for 2 months after Emma passed away. Boy, were those a quiet 2 months. We couldn't stand the defeaning silence so we (K) went out and got Luke, her new Yorkie. Little small for my taste, but at least there's dog in the house again. That's a good thing. :)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.com
