Luna

Well y'all, I have a new child. She's not really new new, but she's new to me!

Introducing... Luna!

"Mom, will you share your dinner with me? Please?!"

Luna is an adorably sweet 6 year-old female Great Dane who I rescued from Great Dane Friend of Ruff Love outside of Charlotte, NC. This organization is run by volunteers who pull Danes from shelters, owner surrenders, animal control, etc. and foster them in their own homes until the dogs are ready for adoption.

Miss Luna was an owner surrender from about a year ago. Apparently the guy had over 20 large dogs in his house and he called animal control to take a few because he had "too many" dogs. Luna's sister, Sophie, was pulled with her and was also adopted to a lovely family who lives in Charlotte. It's funny how similar Sophie and Luna's dispositions are! Both are super chill and completely content laying on the couch, "helping" you cook, or going for a long walk. Luna is a fan of leaning on you to allow for long petting sessions, and will always make herself the center of attention so she can get some love!

She reminds me a lot of my "old" rescue, Malibu, who I sadly had to put down about 3 years ago due to degenerative hip issues. I like to think that Mali and Luna are somehow related and were put on this earth just for me :)

Anyways, Luna is extremely loving and amazing, and I only hope that I can repay her with a life full of unconditional love and, of course, luxury. (I mean, she does sleep in my bed every night and get yummy snacks!)


Clearly, I need a larger bed. Isn't that obvious?!


Who knows - I may even let her borrow my tiara!
