I'm back !

Hello my furiends !

I'm so sorry I haven't been on the blogsphere lately ! Me and my humans have been so busy, and lots of things have happened ... like... I have a new kitty sister (!), we are hosting two little kittens at the moment, I have been to Paris, I've taken the train, I had my first sleepover, my great friend Anika is moving far away from me, and...... I have been neutered last friday!!

Here are three pictures of me with this silly thing they put around my head. So annoying ! Plus, it does not really help so I have to wear panties as well !

Will be back soon to tell you all about my adventures and come back to visit your blogs and leave millions of comments !

I've been missing you, I'm so glad to be back!

Lots of love,

Lincoln

Training Video - DWTDS

Hey my furiends,

Here is a little video I wanted to share with you. I know it's far from being perfect, I know it does not really look like proper dancing yet, I know I am VERY slow when I move, but what I also know is that I love my DWTDS training SO MUCH and we're having GREAT fun doing it :-)

My humans are very proud because they say I've been a very good student when learning new tricks. I've been learning things quite easily and did not get too much distracted as they thought I would.

I am not so cute trying my best ?

Hope you enjoy it and can tell me what you think :-)

Talk soon,

Lincoln

My super fun playdate with Anika

Yesterday my humans started packing a bag with a bottle of water, treats and a couple of balls. I knew it meant something - something real GOOD - so I started to get excited. I was going to meet Anika for the first time ! Yeepee

When she arrived it was love at first sight. I was so happy I could not stop giving her kisses and bringing her my toys. We had a good run too.

My humans and Anika's humans met on the internet - Anika's humans sent them an email because they had been thinking for a long time about getting a Great Dane.

Anika too was quite happy to see me

and I also loved Anika's second human

- she was so nice and gentle -

Everyone said I was a very good boy during the playdate - though as usual I was playing rough especially at the beginning - but we could see I was trying my best to be as soft as possible with her. My humans said they were really proud. I even shared my bowl of water and some treats from my human's bag.

This is not the only thing I shared with her :

Ooops

I really had a great time. I did not want her to leave, so I kept kissing her all the time.

I love you

I really do

Can we meet again ?

She said OK, we could meet again sometime soon. I'm so chuffed.

After she left with her humans I kept looking everywhere to see if there was any chance I could find her hidden behind a bush. I didn't. So we head back home - and I was the most tired dog in the whole entiere world. I slept from 9pm to 9am this morning. Without waking up even once.

Talk soon,

Lincoln

Walks and Training !

Bonjour mes amis !

Last weekend was full of walks and full of training! Following your advices, my humans have decided that I was going to get more training during my walks and that's what we've been doing ! It's so much fun. I love training (and the treats that go with). But of course, I never forget about my first passion : resting. (especially now - it's sooooo hot outside I can barely walk for 5 minutes without starting to drool excessively - and I do mean the "excessively". )

Because of Honey's DWTDS, I had to learn through the weekend how to shake paws according to my human's hand. ( I already knew how to shake paws, of course, but found it really difficult to synchronize it with my humans hand - I usually gave the right one without even thinking about it heehee ). So you're going to get a lot of shaking paws in the video, sorry my furiends !

Hope it is not too boring though :-)

I leave you with some black and white shots of myself,

Love,

Lincoln

PS : In one or two days, I'll be posting an update of my DWTDS training, did not realize it would come so quickly, and now I'm sooooo late ! Hehe, but still loving it !

Oh, and also, tomorrow I'm having a playdate !!! Yeay !! I'm going to meet a young lady called Anika, she's a chocolate lab and guess what ??? Her humans are going to give her a little sis' by the end of august : a blue great dane female pup :-) OMG ! I just can't wait !

A big Thank You and a new video

WOW !! Thank you SO much to everyone of you who took some time to answer and leave a comment on my last post concerning my bad boy behaviour ! We well take into account everything you have mentionned and I'm sure I'll get better and better thanks to your advices !

I do have a Kong - though it takes me only 5 mins to empty it - I do not chew it I bounce it REAL hard on the floor and the walls and it makes them fall out.

this is me when I was

not so trouble yet

My humans says they're going to buy once or two more - we've checked out the website and found some cool stuff - has anyone of you ever tried to fill it with the paste they're selling? Is it good ? We'll also try to put his breakfast in Kongs when we have to leave in the morning - that's a great idea.

About the crate, no we don't have one and we have to say, in France it is not a common thing at all - they do not sell it in the shops - only the ones for the car - and certainly not for Lincoln's size. Well, we are going to do as you all said and confine him in a room - we did not even try it before as we were scared he'd get bored in a small space - well, he proved us that he got bored in a big space too so anyway .... ! We'll put all his toys with him plus filled kongs and we'll see what happen. There's not much in the room anyway so he won't be able to destroy.

I was quite cute, wasn't I ?

Thanks also for the comments about the leash - it looks like Lincoln is going to enjoy even more training !! Yipee !

So yes, thank you so much for everything and of course we will keep you updated on how he's doing !!

Also, because you mentionned the teenage stage, Lincoln wanted to show you a video he has made - picking its song just for you. He says teenagers are "golden"....... Ah, well !

Talk soon
