Arrival Story:
I got Zeus in a less-than-ideal manner. I was at a flea market and just happened to walk through the pet area. At the time, I already had 3 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats, and was not looking for another dog. I abhor the selling of dogs in flea markets and what-not. Anyway, in walking through, I came upon 3 of the cutest black great dane puppies. I had always wanted a great dane, and just had to stop and see them. Two were little girls and hyper, and then there was this mellow little fellow I just fell in love with. After much discussion with my then-husband, Zeus went home with us @ 9 weeks old.

Bio:
Zeus is my "soul dog." He has been my best friend through so many difficult times...always that one little ray of sunshine when things were darkest. I almost lost him in August 2005 to bloat. Thankfully, he came through the emergency surgery with flying colors, and I still have my baby with me. Faced with the possibility of losing him was one of the scariest moments of my life. I cherish every moment I spend with him. He's truly a very special dog.

My Life as the Zeuster


So she tried to cut my tail off....

My mommy takes me to Petsmart about once a week for "fun trips," just to get me out of the house and to greet other doggies. So, we get there, she hooks my leash to my collar, and I hop out of the car. Normally, I get away from the car pretty quickly because I want to hurry up and get inside. Well, this time, I didn't hurry, mom wasn't paying attention and she SLAMMED the car door on my TAIL!!!!!!

Man oh man, did I scream bloody murder! My mom's keyless entry doesn't work, so when she realized how STUPID she had been, she then had to fiddle with the keys...she was a nervous wreck. So, she FINALLY gets the door open, and I am fine then...ready to go inside. The only thing was, I was spraying blood EVERYWHERE. All over mom, her car, and the person's car who was parked beside us.

Thankfully, Petsmart has a vet clinic inside, so mom takes me back there...I was steadily slinging blood to and fro, because I was happy to be in Petsmart and I had what mom calls the "Happy Tail." We get back to the clinic and they ask, "Are you the screamer we heard a while ago?" I guess I yelped pretty loudly for them to have heard me all the way at the back of the store. So, they get me into the room, and I am still pouring blood, and I am happy, so of course, I am wagging my tail like crazy. Blood is slinging all over the place...the walls, the ceiling, mom's already covered...

By the time they got my tail bandaged, the room looked like a slasher movie had been filmed in there. Those poor vet techs and the vet had a blood bath. Luckily, it didn't sever my tail, and it healed up nicely with no crooks. Mom's more careful now. But she does joke and say it was payback for all the times I have whipped her with my tail...I've gotten her right in the eye a lot.
