If you didn't know, she's been talking about Great Danes for-ev-er.
She loves our goofy, sensitive, and sweet personalities.
She even thinks she has a lot in common with Danes, which means I match her personality well and we're a perfect fit.
While she was still in college, she did hours and hours of research on dogs, Danes, and clicker training. My human is a little too serious at times! Her getting me was also part fate. She grew up on DANE street, after all :D
Last September, Lisa got a tattoo that reads, "wake your dreams." She choose that because it's important to her to follow her dreams, to spend her life doing what she loves, and to help others improve their lives and learn how to have dreams and achieve them.
Not long after that, she was in a serious car crash, and not long after that, her close friend was in a horrible car crash and passed away. She still gets sad about losing her friend and misses him every day. Once she had stopped crying everyday about the world losing someone as great as Brennan, she started living the mantra "life is short." Mantras are thought to be capable of "creating transformation" (I'm a very smart puppy), and it affects somewhat how Lisa reacts to life and definitely how she thinks about life.
So one day my human was getting her nails done by a nice lady named Julie, and Julie told her about how one of her clients just got a Great Dane puppy. Julie showed off the photo of the puppy Iris, who had visited Julie and was a sweetheart. Well my human can talk about danes all day long... Julie encouraged Lisa, telling her she works hard and deserves to have a puppy. Well my human certainly works hard (although direct service care for people needing help has burned out the workaholic in her... so she has a little more time for things outside of work - like ME!). Julie mentioned the breeder still had puppies and got the info to pass on to my human...
My human had to make sure her boyfriend was on board with her getting a puppy, since supposedly I'm a brat and a lot of work (hmmph!), and also find out if she had somewhere she could have a puppy. Well Dennis, Natalie, and Matt (Nat's hubby) all got on board since they knew it was my human's dream. So that following Saturday my human went to visit the breeder and choose me!
Lisa's mom sent her this very nice quote: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." - Henry David Thoreau.
