If two little itty bitty tiny birds are much too hazardous to your precious new hardwood floors...............just wait till the great dane wrecks them. A bird can do absolutely NO harm to a wooden floor.............but a dog can, and a great dane, with their size and strength, I bet they can destroy it in no time. I'm not trying to lecture you.............I have just seen your family getting rid of so many pets because they're *messy*. That was their reason. Now how in the world is a big dog going to be any cleaner? Dogs are A LOT more work, a LOT more pricey to care for properly, and a greater responsibility in a way as well. *sigh*

Whatever. Good luck. Puppy's cute btw, and his previous owners don't seem to be loving or caring in any nature.
