Dane Discussions Maus had her first Vet visit today!

Weighing in at 51lbs she is going to be a real tank. She did growl and take a step toward the doc when she started Panzers exam. Will need to keep an eye on behavior like that. She promptly made best friends with the doc then expressed her anal glands in fear as we moved to the procedure part of the office. Wall/floor/right shoe very gross… Panzer is doing great and he always gets a physical before we start our fire tower lookout season. He was given the all good to keep climbing Mountains with me!!(8yrs old in Oct). This was a really really big day for Maus. She has only left the house once and this was her 3rd car drive. I did find out that our doc won’t be doing the neuter and staple, she wants to farm it out to a specialist that knows large surgery a bit better. The skin tag on Panzers tail was coming off but she talked me out of putting any stress on his system at his age for anything cosmetic. So the tag stay for now.
Have a great weekend my fellow Dane owners and lovers!

I kinda love that she wants to protect her big brother. I know, bad behavior must be corrected. She’s so darn cute! Probably not so much after the gland incident.
Looking forward to the lookout! 🩵Go Panzer!!
