No. I am not set on a Great Dane. I am not even sure if I would qualify. I know virtually nothing. My daughter made the suggestion. However, I do have a small dog and will probably still have my kids' cats. It would be nice to have a dog that could retrieve my cell, if I drop it, and it rolls under my bed, etc. My biggest problem is furniture sliding when I am transitioning. It is very hard to get back up, and my feet slide. I am trying to lose weight, to make it easier. But, it is a discouraging process. If you think a dog could help me remain independent, I would love any information. Thank you Laura. No. I am not set on a Great Dane. I am not even sure if I would qualify. I know virtually nothing.
