Every Great Dane I have ever known thinks he's a lap dog; where does that come from?
When she was a pup she was held like a baby and given PLENTY of lap time.
Its funny now when my 83 year old mother is sleeping in the recliner, Molly climbs up to sleep in her lap or across her legs.
Of course, I don't think my mom would think it was funny if Molly was a 245# Great Dane, wanting lap time.
pampering when they are puppies.
