A story from Kimberly about Grendel the Lab/Great Dane posted 05/04/2010 Grendel was born from a litter of 17 puppies. My husband looked at the lot of them as we stood in the owner's barn and made the decision we have discussed repeatedly over the last three years: Let's get the biggest one! Grendel is 95 lbs of clumsy, goofy, loving chicken. He is petrified of anything and everything: Christmas trees, stockings, wrapping paper, chairs, chihuahuas, anything that he has never seen before, forgot was there, or wished it wasn't there. My favorite/most embarrassing Grendel story occurred a few months after we brought the pup home. It was 3:00 in the morning and I was used to Grendel's morning ritual of nudging me awake to let him outside to use the bathroom/party with the neighbor dogs. Groggily, I got up and walked to the back door. Grendel shot through on his adorable little puppy feet. It took a few moments for me to notice something pink hanging from my puppy's mouth--a mouth that was heading toward the fence where Grendel shared his toys with his neighbor doggie buddies. Quickly I realized that a pair of my underwear were going to end up in the neighbor's backyard if I didn't get them back. Luckily my bare feet didn't make much noise as I snuck up on him and stole back my undies. Many more stories have been added to the Grendel tale and I'm sure more will continue.
