Aww

She's lovely Jody...I adore cats - big & small.
I want a Great Dane, I think they're so cool.....Christmas is coming up, y'all can chip in and buy me one

Oh I adore great danes. My friend has one named Sam and he is just a lover boy. He is very well behaved (which is a must since his head can literally rest on the counter top or table top. It's funny because she also has a grown kiity and a new tiny kitty. The new tiny kitty and Sam are so hysterical together. I laughed so hard during my last visit. The new kitty (I think she went with zoom for a name - very good choice) is just full of spit and vinegar with Sam. She's like the size of his mouth (not his head; his mouth) and she OWNS HIM. LMAO. Sam is such a good big poopie; he's like - damn cat; going to find some solitude somewhere else in the house and saunters off. Now I'm 5'10 and even being that tall, Sam is still quite HUGE. Almost like a small pony. So, if you have the room, I'd say go for it. They are lovable and loyal and their bark with keep strangers away for sure! I also like Bull Mastiff's but I'm not ready for another dog, I already have 2 labradors.
PS: you may want to try a local rescue or shelter. Usually Great danes become too big for the original owners and you could possibly adopt one. Just a thought.
