How Thor came to live with us...

Well...  as you all know... I have two Great Danes... and as you have seen from my last blog... Daphne has been with me since she was 11 weeks old...

Thor came to live with us when he was almost 10 months old... He joined my family on July 17, 2011...


Thor's first family was nice enough to send me some of his baby pictures...  look how cute he is....!!!



Just look at that "Baby" face....


I just love it.... Look at the "Baby Tummy".....   




This last picture is my favorite.... just love that view.....



Thor's original family live in Vacaville, which is just about 30 miles below Sacramento California...

In June of 2011, when "BIG" Jake passed away we were looking for another Great Dane for my Boss, we saw Thor's picture on the internet and arranged to come and adopt him...  Samantha volunteered to make the 16 hour trip to get Thor...  She took off on Friday night and brought Thor back on Sunday aftwernoon...

OK... here is the sad part but "NOT" sad for me...  Thor was coming here to live with my Boss, and my Boss takes his dog with him everywhere...  For the last 10 years Jake went with him to other companies... to friends houses... to jobsites.... just everywhere...  and to his twice a week massage sessions...  the Masseuse has a German Shepherd who was great friends with Jake... They grew up together...  Well... When my Boss went to introduce Thor to Dakota... Dakota would not let Thor in the massage area...  Dakota threatened Thor that he better not come around again... So my Boss did not want to stress Dakota or have Thor hurt as he would be going there often.... so he called me up and told me that Thor was mine...  so that is the "NOT" sad part.... Thor came to be part of my family...

This was the plan from the beginning...  We as a group were going to adopt Thor... My Boss; Samantha; and myself...  If he did not work out with my Boss and his family then Samantha or I were going to bring him into our homes...  and I "WON"....



Here is Thor at the office....  He looks a little unsure... but this was his first day there...



He fit right in with everyone... but... being that I had not had time to train him to not go near the gate... on the third day at the office Thor decided it would be fun to see what was on the other side of the fence... well.... that made it so that he and Daphne could not come back to the office anymore... not great but we adjusted.... so now they keep each other company at home...  Not as much fun.... but they are safe...


Here are some pictures of one of our fist trip to the park....










Well, just wanted to introduce you to Thor...

My next blog will start showing you what the "Fur" Kids do in their spare time...

Until then... be safe...
