Today, Emmett met his Gramma for the first time it also was his very first long ride in the car.
After our visit as we were getting ready to leave a resident and her visitor walked over and petted Emmett as he was laying down in the back of our station wagon. He was so good with everyone.
On the way back we picked up his anti-inflammatory and pain killer from Walgreens. He will be taking this until it no longer works or he's finished growing and has had his surgery.
It's the liquid form of MELOXICAM and he gets 1.6 ml every morning. He also gets 1 ml a day of IVOMEC for the Demodectic / Puppy Mange every night. I mix both liquids in a little bowl of Ice Cream. His coat is finally starting to look healthy.

Emmett is 18 weeks - 4 1/2 months old and weighed in at 57 pounds. He's 23 inches at his shoulders. According to the Great Dane charts for 4 month old puppies they average anywhere from 50 - 65 pounds and stand 21 - 25 inches tall. He still has 2 more weeks of being a 4 month old and I wonder what he'll weigh by then.
I tried to do a selfie but he wouldn't stand still.

Yesterday, I started to teach Emmett how to catch hot dog pieces and he managed to catch a couple. I can see it's not going to take him very long, anything food related has his total devotion and attention.
Last week I drove out to the Tractor and Supply in Athens to pick up some dry food for Emmett and Rosie. There were aisles of dog and cat food, not to mention a huge selection of bowls, toys, collars and leashes. Their prices were way better then PetSmart and Harvest Mills. I saw so many different things I would love for Emmett to have someday.
The week before I had done a lot of research on dry dog food, spent hours reading 100's of posts on the Great Dane Lovers, Facebook page and finally made an educated choice.
The Diamond Naturals is wonderful and highly recommended from many people on several of the Great Dane Sites. 4 Health was mentioned over and over again and is what I now feed Rosie and will eventually be feeding Emmett once he's full grown and done growing.

Emmett is 19 weeks old and still weighs 57 pounds but he's 25 inches tall at his shoulders. Last night I let him outside to do his last potty about 10:45 PM and he charged the fence barking. I didn't see anything over in Ed's yard but it was very dark outside with the clouds hiding the moon.
He carried on for several minutes and the next thing I know he has the dogs on the street behind us barking too. He's an incredible watchdog considering he's not even 5 months old yet.
I want to thank God for prayers answered for Emmett's grown-up crate. He had grown out of the two we had and it just didn't make sense to get the next size up knowing he outgrow it within a couple of months if not sooner.
UPS dropped the crate off late in the afternoon and the box was huge and very heavy.
Emmett was no longer able to stand or sit in the smaller crate.
He has plenty of room to stretch out in his new crate and I am so GRATEFUL!
He no longer fits under the kitchen table and keeps bumping his head. His legs are so long now and he can actually stand over Rosie.
He's finally looking like a Great Dane, he looked like a Labrador Retriever pup for the longest time.
