N I N E 🥳🤍

Nine years with this beautiful girl, and we feel incredibly lucky to still be celebrating another birthday with her. Great Dane years are precious, and we don’t take a single one for granted.

We’re so grateful that Ivy is still so active at nine, enjoying her adventures and keeping up with her pack…but of course has to nap hard after 😆.

Happy 9th birthday to our sweet Ivy girl! Here’s to another year of making memories, enjoying the little things, and celebrating this incredible life we get to share with you! 🎉

I’m not sure I’ll ever get over the fact that all four of our pups fit in the Sequoia 🥹🤍

After years of having to take the Transit van any time the whole pack came along, it feels pretty amazing to finally have a 4x4 that fits everyone and gives us the freedom to explore more of the places we’ve been wanting to go that the van just couldn’t make.

To make that happen, we removed all of the seats in the back of the Sequoia, and so thankful that Shad () built us a platform to level everything out, giving the dogs a much more comfortable space for everyday transport and quite a bit more storage for hiking & camping trips!

I’m already so, so happy with this rig. It has officially earned it’s place, no doubt 😍

Just me and my “couch potato” 😂🤎

We get quite a few comments from people on our hikes questioning why a couch potato is hiking big mountains. They are always impressed, like, it’s so rare to see!

Great Danes have this reputation for being giant, lazy couch potatoes, and while I will absolutely agree that they LOVE a good nap… they are actually incredibly athletic dogs and need much more exercise and activity than their stereotype would have you believe.

They’re big dogs, but are not meant to spend their lives lying around the house. Regular, appropriate exercise is so important for keeping their bodies strong, their minds engaged, and their overall quality of life where it should be.

And with three Great Danes and a Malamute, I’ve definitely learned that exercise doesn’t look exactly the same for every dog. Age, personality, conditioning, and individual needs all matter. Some days we’re out doing dog sports, exploring trails and climbing mountains, other days it’s a slower adventure off roading, camping and sometimes the biggest accomplishment is simply getting everyone outside and moving.

The goal isn’t to completely exhaust them. It’s to give them opportunities to use their bodies, explore, sniff, think, and enjoy being dogs. Seeing them climb mountain after mountain, always having energy for more, is exactly why I’ll never buy into the idea that Great Danes are just lazy dogs.

They can be couch potatoes AND athletes! And honestly, I think that’s one of the best things about them.

Well, we did it 🏕️

A little last minute adventure, a little out of my comfort zone, and a whole lot of memories made with these pups.

Our first camping trip was only one night, but I think that was the perfect way to start. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and managed to get all three of these giants settled into camp! I’m so proud of them. They had a blast and were soooo good!

Sully stayed home for this one and apparently spent most of the weekend sleeping, so I think he was pretty happy with that arrangement. 😂

It definitely wasn’t perfect or fancy, but it was pretty darn special. I’m already looking forward to the next one! I think this might be the beginning of a new adventure for us. 🤎

I thought it was about time for a little Sully update 🤍

Not every part of this journey has gone as planned. After some challenges with the hormone replacement therapy, we’ve decided to take a step back and let his body reset before deciding where to go from here. Right now, Sully is taking some Chinese herbs to help support his body while we navigate everything.

The good news? His thyroid supplementation has been working wonderfully! No more hair loss, his coat is soft and fluffy again, and his energy has been amazing. Seeing him happily splashing around in the lake reminded me that the little wins are worth celebrating.

As much as we’d love to bring him along, Sully will be staying home while we head out on our very first camping trip this week. With everything going on lately, we’re trying to make the best decisions for him, even when they’re the hard ones. Right now, he just needs some time to rest and reset, and he’ll be more than happy relaxing at home with Kyle while the Danes and I sneak away for a night. 🏕️

With all the excitement surrounding the new Scooby-Doo series and its adorable chocolate Great Dane puppy, there’s been a lot of discussion about Great Dane colors lately. I wasn’t planning on talking about it, but as someone who shares life with a Lilac Great Dane we adore, this feels like the perfect opportunity to talk about something I’ve learned firsthand.

Whenever a dog breed is featured in a popular movie or television show, interest in that breed tends to skyrocket. We’ve seen it happen with Dalmatians, Lassies, and countless others. Too often, demand grows faster than education, and people are left making important decisions without having all the information they should have.

For those who may not know, there are seven accepted Great Dane colors in the US: fawn, brindle, black, blue, harlequin, mantle, and merle. Chocolate (and lilac) in all marking variations, are not an accepted or standard Great Dane color.

Ivy is a Lilac Great Dane, we love her and she’s such an incredible dog, but loving her has also taught me a lot. Over the years, we’ve navigated multiple skin issues, structural concerns, and challenges that opened my eyes to the importance of responsible breeding practices.

Years ago, I didn’t know what I know now and honestly, I’m still learning. We saw a unique and beautiful puppy and fell in love. Education isn’t about judging past decisions; it’s about helping future ones.

Ethical breeders prioritize health testing, sound structure, stable temperaments, and the long-term preservation of the breed. Backyard breeders often market puppies based on what’s rare, unique, oversized, or in demand. Unfortunately, that comes at the expense of the qualities that make Great Danes such incredible dogs.

If you’re considering adding a Great Dane to your family, I encourage you to look beyond color or “American vs. European” labels. Ask questions. Dive deep into health testing and verify those results. Take some time to learn about structure and temperament. Find breeders who are committed to producing healthy, sound dogs and preserving the future of this incredible breed.

Every dog deserves the best possible start in life ♥️

I catch myself wishing often, that I could slow time down…

Not for the big moments, but for the simple ones on adventures like this. On this particular hike, we stopped for a bit, to take some photos and relax. I noticed the way they stop to take it all in while I stand there trying to do the same. Sometimes their noses were on the ground, but for some quiet moments, they just stood or sat, sniffing the air. It made me smile and realize this is what our hiking days are all about. It was a good reminder to slow down, and wonder, why the rush?

I know one day these photos will mean even more than they do now. Trying to make as many memories as possible with the pups, even if they are small.

I’m just grateful to be sharing this life with them 🤍🐾

Happy Malamute Monday! Sully’s extensive bloodwork came back from our holistic vet, and we finally got some answers 🤎

The two main concerns were very low thyroid levels and elevated GI fungal bacteria markers, so we also submitted a f***l exam + Giardia test to investigate the GI side further.

Everything else came back looking good, which we’re incredibly thankful for 🥹

After running a more comprehensive thyroid panel, she confirmed that Sully has hypothyroidism and will need thyroid medication/supplementation moving forward. Low thyroid function in dogs can affect much more than energy levels… it can contribute to skin issues, hair loss, muscle loss, weight changes, inflammation, and mobility challenges as well.

He also started hormone therapy last Friday (testosterone injections) to help support muscle maintenance, arthritis management, mobility, and skin health.

One thing I’ve been learning through my own health journey and my dogs too, is how connected everything in the body really is. Changes in hormones, gut health, inflammation, and mobility can all impact one another, especially in senior dogs (and us humans too).

Moving forward, I’m also starting to learn more about canine strengthening and mobility work so we can focus on improving his balance, strength, confidence, and overall quality of life ✨

Very thankful we caught these things now and hopeful we can help him feel more comfortable and supported moving forward 🤎

I’ve officially entered my full-sized SUV era ✨

Meet the new adventure rig 🤎
2026 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro

What’s an adventure without the dogs? Finding something that could comfortably fit all four while still being trail-ready felt almost impossible… until now.

Of course, the Transit Van isn’t going anywhere. It’ll still be our go-to for travel and plenty of adventures, but I wanted something that could truly get off the grid. Sometimes the van just can’t handle the dirt trails we love exploring.

We added a 3” lift, fresh black wheels, and 35s, plus finally enough room for all four dogs to spread out comfortably in the back. We removed the rear seats for extra space, and honestly, it’s been 100% worth it. The setup in the back is still a work in progress though!

Yesterday we did a test drive with all four dogs in the back, and it actually went pretty well. Sully definitely prefers having his own space, so it took everyone a minute to adjust and get comfortable enough to make him happy 😂 Once they settled in, it was smooth sailing.

At the beginning of our adventure with , Sully rode in their new Subaru, so we haven’t tested this setup before a hike yet, but that’s next. I’m pretty confident it’s going to work out just fine!

I can’t wait to share more adventures in the new Sequoia!

It feels so good to be back in the mountains again!

The weather was amazing this past week. We were in the upper 80’s with lots of sunshine! We took advantage, and hit the mountains. Surprisingly, it was even hot up there already! We were not quite expecting that. I’m getting so excited for all our summer adventures!

We will definitely be paddle boarding again and I am going to try car camping with the pups this year! I’m so excited, yet nervous for it. I used to camp a lot when I was younger but I don’t remember much! If you have any car camping advice, I’m all ears!! I will be going with who has experience, but always love hearing advice from you too! I most likely will be buying a SUV tent to attach to the back of the Sequoia. Although, I haven’t fully decided if I want to just take the van and camp in it. I really want to explore more in the Sequoia though!

Oh, the dilemma🫠😂

Do you camp or paddle board with your dogs?!
