Born 30 October 2007

Shortly after STYLE died, I realized that SUNDAY was just plain miserable without STYLE. I started calling around to see if there might be a puppy available that we could bring into our house to bring some much needed companionship for SUNDAY.

I wrote to a breeder in Italy, della Baia Azzurra. I told them about how we lost STYLE and how miserable our black girl SUNDAY was. The Donatis (della Baia Azzurra) told me that they had a three month old black female available, and that they were planning to come to Holland for the NDDC Clubmatch Dog Show in early March 2008. We made arrangements to meet the Donatis at the dog show, and they said they would bring VENUS with them.

It was a very busy day at the Clubmatch with lots of people and dogs walking around. I saw a couple standing in the corner with some very large Great Danes, dogs much larger than I had ever seen before. I walked up to them and asked, “Are you the Donatis?” I met Dr. Patrizio Donati and his wife Ksenija with their big, beautiful dogs. They pointed to the back and there was this very large black puppy lying down on a blanket and they said, “This is our little black girl VENUS.”

I remember walking over to look at this black puppy of four months old, and I couldn’t believe how big her feet were. Her feet were much bigger than SUNDAY’s feet, and SUNDAY was an adult. We spent the day at the dog show with the Donatis, and we drove home with our baby VENUS.

VENUS is our big, boisterous clown. If VENUS was a person, she would be wearing Osh Kosh overalls, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap turned backwards. VENUS is our Tom girl and VENUS is incredibly fun and funny. VENUS has that same special spark that STYLE had, call it “Joie de Vivre” (joy for life). VENUS does this wonderful thing when she is feeling happy, she lies down on her side and starts moving her front paws as though she is swimming while making the greatest of Great Dane noises. VENUS is a very big girl - as big as any American male Great Dane. VENUS is incredibly loving and sweet, and she is my Velcro dog following me around the house wherever I go. VENUS is a big part of our family.
