12 Years vs 12 Weeks

A new Great Dane Puppy, 12 week old Ernie, joined our 12 year old Great Dane Nick this weekend. Ernie weighs about 30 pounds to Nick's 170 pounds. The puppy is named after the stormed named Ernesto which blew thru Virginia last Friday. The storm with winds in the 35 to 45 mph range produced 12 inches of rain and knocked down a bunch of small limbs but thankfully no large trees in our yard came down. We figure we got about 12 inches of rain and lost power for about 4 hours. All of the pond plants survived just fine. I was feeding the fish the first time Ernie visited the pond and Ernie almost fell in trying to gobble down the food. All in all a fun introduction to the pond for the puppy.
