June 2008 - Malcolm is in foster care. Here is what his foster mom
says about him:
Ok, so rescue got a bunch of Danes and since they still have puppymill Danes...
nowhere to put them! So I offered to take another... Aunt 'Nita- I
swear he won't eat me, he is SUCH a sweetheart!!!!! He has demodectic mange
which isn't contagous, but doesn't look so great. So far he has a big
crush on Belle and is SUPER happy and loves to play play play. He fell
in the pool twice today, but that didn't stop him from trying to get in with
me while I was swimming--he'd go as far as the second step!!! |
How could anyone be mean to that face? Let alone not take him to the
vet if he was sick? He is SO lovey. If I stand with my hands
on my hips he'll put his head in the nook of my arm and just look up at me.
Standing with good posture, his head is a few inches shy of my shoulder.
When I sit on the couch, his eye level is higher than mine. And
still... I swear he won't eat me!!! He is doing well joining the pack,
ignoring Ike being protective over food, knows how to sit and goes in his
crate no problem (very minor whining), is eating well, plays with toys nicely
and I have high hopes for him! The only time I've had to redirect him
is when he tries to play with Belle too physically and she gets a 'deer in
headlights' look when he paws at her and jumps around like a maniac... but
she'll let him chase her around the yard and it is super awesome to see her
playing!!!
Hope all is well with you,
Karen, Ike, Belle, & Malcolm |
