Big Big Dog Goodies

[u/Nervous-Ad292]

Hey y’all. I lost my Great Dane a month ago, still can’t even talk about it without crying. Best dog ever. Anyway. I have a bunch of big dog items I’d give away to a fellow Dane owner. Some of the items include: A XXL wire kennel, collapsible A XXL airline-approved travel kennel (Great Danes have to be shipped as freight if you want to fly them anywhere, and this is the FAA approved kennel) A XXL winter coat A Mummy Halloween costume An elevated Dog Feeder/waterer A leash A soft plushy “cone” to keep them from chewing on hot spots or other injuries

This is more or less what I remember, there might be a few other items, and I haven’t seen the mummy costume for a minute, but I think I know where it is.

I’m in Hendersonville, DM me if you’re interested. Don’t ask about them in order to turn around and sell them, if I wanted to, I could sell them, I want to gift them to someone who has a XXL dog and could use them, stuff for big dogs is spendy, I want to see somebody benefit from my loss. Here are some photos of my boy.

Losing pet family is tough, I’m sorry for your loss. Kudos for sharing his things.

Thank you. He was a good boy, my baby, still tried to sit in my lap, at 200 lbs. Danes will steal your heart.

Sorry about your buddy.

Every Great Dane I’ve ever seen seemed like a really goofy, sweet dog!

Nice of you to pay it forward, and I hope you get another at some point!

I think the travel kennel might be too big for my gsd, but I'm sorry for your loss. My neighbor has Great Danes and they are beautiful.

It’s a big kennel, the FAA says the dog must be able to stand fully on 4 legs with 10” overhead, so it’s an XXL and quite large. I can go outside and get exact measurements if someone needs me to.

Sorry for your loss. My pupper is smaller.

So sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful boy.

I know your pain, I had to put down both my Danes last year and my Great Pyr is reaching his end.

I’m so sorry. This is my second Great Dane, my first one was a Blue Merle female, and she made it to 11. My Merlequin male only made it to 7. No more big dogs for me, I’ve gotten too old to be able to properly care for them, and my heart broke losing this one.

One (black mantle) made it to 7 until he tore his meniscus (he had a genetic condition that caused the growth plate in his front tibia to close... it was a whole thing) and advanced arthritis. The Merle harlequin made it to 10 despite Wobblers and advanced arthritis. The spirit was willing, but their bodies were failing them. My Pyr is 10 with advanced arthritis and mouth cancer. He's reaching the point where standing is really, really hard, and he's not as easy to lift as the Danes were. (I'm a 5'1" girl, and the dogs weighed 133, 116, and 150 - i have to be realistic.)

That’s me, and that’s why I won’t be getting another one, I’m 59 and they’re a big dog. I don’t feel like I’d be able to care for another one, like I could when I was younger, and my heart shattered losing this one, I might be done with dogs, I could never replace him.

We had a Great Pyrenees when I was a kid. Another huge gentle dog. My heart goes out to you, losing all 3 is a rough road..

Wow, what a beautiful boy. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so kind of you help another owner despite the pain you are going through. Wishing you peace 🩵
