Big, beautiful black critters

In my post about the beautiful hike we had on a private nature reserve this week, I posted one photo of the hosts' young Great Danes. They accompanied the group on the walk. When we arrived back at Paul and Ricky's house, they both made themselves most comfortable among the hikers. 

 Hector sitting straight up and large as life on the leather sofa
 Sheba watches as Hector (later) ambles up to the other sofa and hops up 

 Hector wriggles his bottom a little...
 ...slides down...
...and soon, both dogs are occupying a sofa each

I simply adored both these dogs. Hector is under a year and Sheba is 18 months old. Although they seem to "take over", they were both well-behaved and obeyed immediately their master gave a command. 

I hope you enjoyed my different "critters" today. I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen, here 

As this post is aired this morning, I'll be taking part in my first Parkrun after a three-week layoff. I don't think I'll even reach my previous personal best which I achieved with friend, Anthony, but at least I'm back on the track again! 

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!

  2. Beautiful Great Danes and this brought back great memories for me. Many years ago in Rhodesia I had a Dane who never left my side. Normally very gentle he showed his other side when we had a break in to the house and also one day when the police came to see my father when we were out. He allowed them on the the property but would not let them off! It was several hours later when the gardener found them trapped on our veranda LOL.
    Have a great weekend Diane

  6. Aren't they just fabulous dogs Jo! One of my past neighbors had two black great Danes and although they were both pretty soppy 😀 and friendly, just the size of them scared me a little.
