Saturday September 18, 2010 was a wonderful day. My 2nd set of children got married. Shawn Rowan and Marie Pritula became husband and wife, It was one of the most beautiful and emotional events in which I have ever been asked to participate because these two mean so much to me. Shawn and Marie own 2 danes from me, Mason and Maverick. This all came about 12 years ago when this high school kid came to our house and said someone told him that this was the place to come to get a GREAT DANE. I showed him the dogs and we talked for quite a while. I told him when he was ready he should contact me and we would see. Little did I know then that we would form such a heartfelt bond as we have over these several years. Here are a few pictures from this beautiful day. Oh and yes Mason Did make it to the reception to see his mom and dad before they left for their honeymoon. Wishing you both all the love and happiness you both deserve.

always here for you,
the other dad

Just one more reason why I am so thankful for these dogs and how they have enriched my life.

The little man is growing in leaps and bounds. 3 1/2 months his big boy highchair. He'll soon be eating steak!
