The newest member of our Family
We would like to introduce everyone to our new family member, Eisenhower Shadow Neddenriep. More commonly known as "Ike". The middle name came about because he follows me around EVERYWHERE! He loves his mama! We adopted Ike from the Capital Humane Society (here in Lincoln). He is a 1 yr old Harlequin Great Dane. He was surrendered to the Humane Society because his previous owners were moving and could not have pets at their new place. What a shame for them because Ike is the sweetest dog. He isn't the smallest dog around. He weighs about 100 lbs. and measures about 32" at the shoulders. He is quite underweight for a Great Dane. Mitch and I believe that the shelter fed him just enough to get by. The vet wants him to gain about 20 to 30 lbs! BIG DOG! Mitch and I are amazed that he is such a laid back dog! All he does is sleep! We love it because Mitch and I love to just lounge around. Unfortunately, Ike is deaf. It's common for Great Danes that are as white as he is to be born deaf. That is certainly not a set-back for him though! We still think he can hear certain pitches because he perks up whenever a big truck drives by or when I scream really loud just to see if he can hear. He loves being around us and cuddling. Can you imagine Mitch, who is 6'5", me, I'm 5'10" and Ike all in one bed? You better believe it! He keeps our feet warm at night!

I love this little site! Aren't you two cute? Should I make a Nathan and Hannah site?
I am so glad Ike got a home. I volunteer at the Capital Humane Society and had walked Ike a few times, he was a delight to be around. The one thing I would like to point out is that the Humane Society would never just feed him enough to get by, they feed him according to his weight and understand many of these animals come in very underweight.
Best wishes to all three of you.
Karen
