Lab/Great Dane Puppy!

Carson wanted outside at 1:30 this morning. Husband got up and let him out to potty. Afterwards Carson wouldn’t come back in, he wanted to play with Trip. It was 31 degrees but the cold didn’t bother Carson one bit, DH came back to bed.

DH got up this morning to see Carson and Trip playing in the driveway and he called them. Carson ran for the door, happy and pleased with himself. I got up, got my cup of coffee and Carson climbed in my lap and drifted off to sleep.

Took Carson to the vet yesterday and weighed him. At 5 1/2 months old he weighed 67 pounds!

We have been keeping our little granddaughters this week. The 2 year old loves to play with Carson. He is figuring out how to play with her. We had to watch him closely to make sure he didn’t swat her with a big paw or chew on her like a dog toy. Last night they played sock. She ran from him, shrieking and he galloped after her. He bit up and down the sock, and dragged her around. She fell down, got back up and the game resumed.

She likes to sit and lay on him. Carson likes that game too.

The last two pics.. That right there screams "loves children!" What a wonderful dog.

Carson has a new trick. He catches birds and eats them. He stalks, freezes absolutely still, then leaps. DH feeds the birds and is upset that Carson is catching them. At least he doesn't go after the chickens. If left unsupervised with loose "squeaky toys" running around, he probably would. But I keep that controlled so that he knows they are off limits.

Right now he is at the burn pile, tugging on dead giant ragweed skeletons with the rootball attached. They make great tug toys.

Crazy dog!

Bay, that's a beautiful pup!!! Could be the Lab in him will keep him from having all the health issues the Danes seem to have...mutt vigor! I wish you a long and happy story with Carson.

Awwwh. Adorable pup. (But I love Trip!) It's sometimes difficult to get another. I'm glad you & BJ are enjoying another family member.

Yay for Carson! He's a doll. Can't wait to hear all the stories he's gonna create around there, lol!
