Your mom is adorable!

Alot of people ask me how him growing at a slower rate is good for him!? I try to explain to them that it is better on his joints and that he will get muscle and height at the same time (rather than being really tall and boney). He has gained so much muscle on the raw diet, he is rock hard lol!

My Mom is adorable isn't she?

She is really tiny, I am 7 inches taller than her

so she looks really little when we're together.

Your mom and Bailey look like they are getting ready to dance in the second picture.

He is tall, I love that boy of yours so much. I agree with Kari, your mom is adorable.

Wow, 8 months old already? Where does time go?

He sure is as handsome as ever, just taller.

I bet he's a blast to be around.

Yeah, I got that a lot, too, as Finn was growing. People were always so shocked to hear his age, because he would inevitably be smaller than their dogs. Now, he's actually a tiny bit heavier than he should be! He caught up with all of them, he just did it at a healthier pace! (He's actually gone from 88 pounds to 82 pounds since May, so, his exercise is helping a lot, yay!)

Aw, I am only 5'1 or 5'2, depending on if I'm standing straight.

You are tall! I'd definitely have to look up to you if we met!

Bailey is an extremely attractive dog, he's a great representative of the raw diet!

Thanks everyone! Bailey is a wonderful dog to be around, everyone loves him. He is a favorite around here, everyone has to stop and say hi to him before they head up to their apartment. The security guard comes to see him every night - Bailey loves him. Alot of people are intimidated by his size, even though I try and explain to them that he is a giant love bug.

I couldn't imagine not having Bailey in my life, I know now that I will always have a Dane. They are awesome dogs, the perfect breed for our family.

LOL! I mean tall and boney, with poor muscle tone.

Bailey wouldn't stop licking her face! He doesn't stay standing up for long, we are trying to teach him to get up on our shoulders with a command.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you!

**buttercup132** · 08-01-2006, 08:36 PM

Aww Bailey I'll be over in a bit to steal you

**Alysser** · 08-01-2006, 09:28 PM

OMG!

I remember when he was so little and now!

Now, I know what they mean when they say something grew overnight.

(He's still a cutie.

**luvofallhorses** · 08-01-2006, 09:39 PM

he's my kinda dog!

I LOVE big dogs and he is HANDSOME!!!

**DrKym** · 08-01-2006, 11:50 PM

He is beautiful! I personally love the Merles. For the record Bailey is one of Alexs (my stepson) Fave dogs as he looks like our Domino RIP she was a Harley but he associated the spots.Everytime I logged on while he was here he looked for your siggy and few others that caught his eye! Bailey is right on track as far as growth, and he is so nicely proportioned for his age (alot fall apart again at this age). He is a lucky pup to have such a loving Mom.
