Have the snakes decided he's too big of a meal for them?

LOL Jim. Those shots look ALL too familiar to me. Dudley is LAZY. He literally just lays around all the time. I'm not sure how he's going to do when we move next month. That should be interesting, but I'm sure he'll manage somehow.

We're lucky in that he hasn't taken out anything (aside from the dinner he's stolen off my plate on a couple occasions when I wasn't looking. And I feel like the family is safe when I'm not around with him there. he may be sweet and lovable, but not everyone knows that when he barks at a knock on the door or a doorbell.

...yeah...there's no question there. The most interaction I've seen from them is a stare-off every now and then. I think Dante's view is if it's not immediately edible, than he could care less.

I've noticed Dante sitting on the couch like Dudley is doing in that pic you posted. He gets his butt up there, but keeps his front legs on the ground. he even does that in my truck...keeps his butt on the seat but has his head between the two front seats so he feels like he's with my wife and me.

So far I've been lucky with him not stealing food, however, he did steal an ENTIRE stick of butter from the in-laws at Easter dinner this year.

We try to discourage him from doing this on the couch, as he takes up TOO much room! Most of the time, he's laying across the floor like a carcass on the side of the road, and doesn't move, so we have to walk around him. Would be nice if he used his dog beds innstead. LOL

Awesome looking pup!

Nice looking puppy. Its hard not to love a great dane. Get him away from the kitchen early!

Sounds like my pup mine is 120 at the 1 year mark. But He knows that the furniture bed etc is off limits. The only problem is he will find something to entertain himself with and noting seems to last long with him.

I've noticed that nothing really lasts with him too. He either gets bored with a toy and wants to change it up after a few minutes, or if he has a chew (like a bully stick) he destroys them in no time.

I've been allowing him to chew on rawhide as long as I'm there watching him because I don't want him to eat it. I'll get those massive knot bones so there's no risk of him trying to swallow the whole thing, but those seem to work well. I'll let him chew them until they start to soften up, then I take it away and cut off the soft pieces and let him start from scratch. Once it gets too small I junk it.

He's also come to love the occasional knuckle bone from the butcher...but I've noticed I have to limit him with those because it gives him the runs if he eats too much.

I figured I would post a more recent picture of the "puppy". This is Dante at about 17 months...and still growing.
