Yea, lol he was my biggest one. Diesel is taller but not as heavy, and Rucca is only 108 lbs. They too are mine, never to part with.

Me and Rainier (pronounced Ray-NEER) at the vet's office the day I had to have him put down. He was getting a little senile in his age and out of the blue attacked Diesel. My BFF, my professional trainer, and my vet all told me once he went off like that I could never trust him again, and at 125 lbs I couldn't take a chance. That was back in June and I'm still not "over" it. I don't think I'll ever be over him, we came a long way from when I first got him. He had recurring skin yeast infections that we got cleared up, arthritis that we effectively treated with Ester-C, he needed to gain 15 lbs, and he couldn't walk well because of depth perception issues and vertigo. He was 5, and nobody wanted to take a geriatric (that's kinda old for a Great Dane) fixer-upper. And by the time I got him all fixed up, except the vision issues and vertigo never went away, he had to go and lose his mind. I wanted the old man to die peacefully in his sleep, but at least I was there to hold him as he slipped away, wrapped in his favorite Sponge Bob blanket. He was 6 when he was put down.
