A Great Dane Named Quack

Quack is a Great Dane who has a number of hobbies.  His hobbies: drinking out the toilet until there is no water in it, breaking kitchen cabinet doors to steal bread, snoozing, playing with his Brother Bear (who happens to be a Newfoundland), chasing squirrels and catching them maybe one in 500 times, hiding deceased squirrels in the couch, snoozing, going for walks and dislocating my shoulder if he sees a squirrel, licking the inside of peoples ears, making blanket forts, opening the oven to see what’s cooking, snoozing, playing tug of war and gracefully letting you win, crunching on cow femurs, lifting people off the ground smelling them (sad!), getting fabulous pedicures, shedding even in locations he’s never been, taking up an entire king sized bed and snoozing. People always ask, “How did he get his name?”  I’d love to tell an adorable story of how he made a quacking sound as a puppy but he didn’t.  I made a bad joke and it turned into his name.  You see our first two newfoundlands were named “Quinn” and “Jack”.  We were trying to come up with a name for my daughter Helen’s new puppy and I joked, Hey you could combine them and call him, “Quack!”  Helen loved it and she wouldn’t hear of any other names after that.  See you just should not joke around about serious things like names.
