DUCHESS

Primus Ark Duchess

(Duchess)

Born 8th September 2000

I am a Great Dane

But at the moment just a small Great Dane.

But by the way I am growing

human mum things it won't be for very long.

I am growing very quickly.

Here I am at four weeks old.

My coat is a bit long here.

Here is a close up of me at four weeks.

I am now eight weeks old

and I am on my way to The Ark.

It was a long journey for my first time out.

The weather was very bad and because

of that it took us six hours.

We have just arrived home.

Sorry the photo is blurred.   

This really is a favourite time.

I love my food.!!!!!!!!!

I am now nine weeks old.

Look what I managed to do

when mums back was turned.

As I told mum, I was only

keeping the chair warm for her.

But mum says No, to

Great Danes on the furniture.

I say she is a spoil sport.

I am learning to clean my teeth.!!!!

The opening photo and this

one were taken today.

I am now ten weeks old.

Look who I met in the kitchen.

Two funny looking puppies.!!

Mum says they are Birman kittens.!!!

Oh well !! there is no accounting for taste.

I got my own back on Mum

she was feeding kittens.

So I amused myself.

Mum was not pleased especially

as she had bought me a new toy.

I do love my rope but there are times

when newspaper and magazines are more fun.

I will keep mums' chair warm for her.

But mum says NO.

Life is so unfair.!!!

I am now twelve weeks old.

Don't I look Angelic.???

I am now thirteen weeks old and all legs.!!!!!

Well that is what mum says.

I have found a new toy.!!!!!!!!

It is not meant for me.

It is really meant for sweeping the patio.!!!!!!

I am now fourteen weeks old.

It is play time.

Do you see what I am planning here.????

Almost made it.

Now aren't I clever.???????

Dad has raised my dinner bowl.

This is much better.

It is Christmas Day

I have presents.!!!!!!

But tearing up the wrapping paper

is  much more fun.!!!

We went for a walk.

I met snow for the first time.

I needed to be dried.

But tugs of war a much more fun.!!!

New Years Day

01-01-01

Sixteen weeks old.

Happy New Year

Duchess has an adventure.

Mum & Dad took me for my first

visit to the beach.

I had a good run around.

Time to go home.

Look what I met on the way home.!!

Mum says its a pony.

It certainly did not smell like a dog.!!!!!

I am now eighteen weeks old.

It is the 19th. January 2001

It is the 8th of March 2001.

I am now six months old.

I am getting very big, so mum says.

Mum has lost her armchair.

 Again!!!!!!!!

We had a bonfire as we had a lot of rubbish to burn.

I had a wonderful time.

I wanted to play tug of wars.

Dad wanted to put it on the bonfire.

Look what I found on my walk.

A small mountain of horse manure.!!!!!!

I discovered I could slide down it.

It also, to my mind, tasted quite good.

Mum went Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

What a spoil sport she is.

Here I am on the 4th of June.

I was being groomed and mum took a movie of me

as I normally never stay still. But I fooled her.

I behaved.!!!!!!!!!

Here is Venus.

Venus is not too sure about me.

Venus thinks I am showing too much

interest in her kittens.

I spend many an afternoon watching them.

I am guarding them.

It is the 9th of June.

Sorry about the drools.

I am now nine months old.

Mum and Dad think I look beautiful.!!!!!!!!

I can only agree. :-) :-)

Duchess & Taigan.

Saying hello.

Watch that paw.!!!!!!!!!!!

To late. ;-(

Luckily, Taigan is unconcerned.

More than can be said for Granny.

Kissy, kissy time.

Oh yuck.!!!!

A Great Dane kiss.
