Great Dane?

Well it's a good thing I didn't make any promises on when I'd post a second blog.. looks like time really does fly when you're having fun! My hubby (Matt) and I spent the weekend down in Laguna Beach celebrating our one year anniversary. A whole year and he is still finding new ways to make me smile. I snapped quite a few pictures while we wandered around, so those will be posted soon.

For now, though, I thought I'd introduce you to our first baby. His name is Kobi. He's 3 months old, has dark brown eyes, shiny black hair, a white chest and paws-- oh, did I mention he's a puppy? We picked him up a month ago at the shelter. There was a group of five little puppies all snuggled up in a bed together. Considering our house size, our bank account, and our sanity, Matt would only let me pick out ONE of the pups. The sign on the gate said "Black lab mix"-- a lab was exactly what we had been shopping for. We brought Kobi home 2 days later.

After about a month of showing him off to family and friends, trying to figure out what his "mix" was, we had quite a range of opinions. Maybe a little lab-mastiff mix? Or possibly some pit bull? They all fit to some extent, but the one I never would have guessed came from our cousin, Renee. She swears he's part great dane. GREAT DANE?! I thought I was picking up a little labrador that day at the shelter!

Let me show you what made me realize he very well could be a lab-great dane puppy. Good ol' google images:


..and here's a few shots of our Kobi:








See any similarities?
