The life expectancy of a Great Dane is 9 – 11 years. Now, some of us see this as a definite mark in the minus categories for owning Danes. For dogs so sweet and so wonderful, it seems like such a short amount of time to share.
Or perhaps you are someone who expects your Dane to live only nine years, and then, well, she’s just marking time at the ripe old age of 9 ½, so you move and leave her behind with enough kibble to last her a couple weeks, as long as she doesn’t eat too much.
Yesterday morning, Princess ate the last 2 cups of the Ol’Roy she had been left.
Yesterday afternoon, freshly washed and coiffed, Princess made her way here to MisFit Farm, which we all expect to be the last move she makes before leaving this mortal coil. While we have an exceptional track record for longevity here at the Farm, we have every expectation Princess will leave us wanting for more time to share.

I can say with much certainty that I too wish I would have had more time with Princess...a few minutes in the tub and a couple hours in the car was just not enough time to absorb all of the love that she had to give! Good luck with Princess, and may the longevity gods smile upon you!
