I think I have told you before about a fun thing you can do every day to win kibble for shelter dogs. All you have to do is get that Mouse Person of yours and have him fly you away to Free Kibble.com - or you can sign up and they will send you a reminder in your e-mailing box every day, so you don't forget. It's really fun, and we find it very educational too.
Today the question involved a very beautiful Great Dane by the name of Titan, and I was really impressed with his story, so I decided to Blog about him today and yes, I realize I have probably spoiled the fun for those of you who haven't answered today's Free Kibble question, but hey. Sometimes a reporter has to spill the beans. Or the kibble.
Anyway, back to Titan.
Titan is a very brave and wonderful dog. And here is his story.
Since he was crowned the new World's Tallest Dog last week, Titan, a 4-year-old white Great Dane, has gotten so much attention that his Web site crashed! The Guinness World Record holder stands 42.25 inches tall to his shoulder and weighs 190 lbs. Rescued from a breeder in 2005, he's also deaf, mostly blind, and until two years ago, endured epileptic seizures, but none of these challenges are slowing this big guy down.
"The issues that he has don't affect the dog one bit," owner Diana Taylor tells PEOPLEPets.com. "I don't look at him as a sickly, ailing dog. He actually is, to me, in many ways, at an advantage. He's so calm, and his world is so peaceful."
Titan (a.k.a. Tite-Tite) lives in dog-friendly San Diego with Taylor and his canine siblings, 5-year-old Great Dane Ari (also deaf) and 9-year-old German shepherd Diego. The family enjoys their active lifestyle, and they are always out at the dog beach, the dog park or dog restaurants. When it came time to take Titan's official measurement for Guinness, Taylor threw a "big old party" for other dogs and friends at a local day spa. "Everything I do has to be a party!"
Taylor, who views Titan's new title as a chance to educate people who are interested in Great Danes, is still working through all the guestbook comments she's received on Titan's Web site (which is up and running again).
"I got messages from people with special needs dogs, messages from people who were disabled and really connected with Titan's story," Taylor says. "It's already been a lot of education about the joys and challenges of having this kind of dog. I try every single day to lead my life to be worthy of being this dog's dog mom
Isn't that just the very best story ever? And if you want to keep up on lots of great stories like this one, you can ask your Mouse (ask nicely, please)... to ride you off to visit People Pets It's the same "people" as People Magazine, which my Mom and my Sis, Lydia, are addicted to. But here you can find out all kinds of great news about pets and it's a fun place to visit.
So..... be sure to sign up for FreeKibble and help them earn kibble for shelter dogs and kitties. Do some good deeds.
Love and LIcks,
Bob
