Our favorite Great Dane puppy turned six months old today! Finn is tipping the scales at a whopping 90 pounds(!!) already and can officially rest his head on the kitchen counter. We noticed a small red spot on his arm in June and had our vet check it out after a couple of weeks, when it didn’t go away. The vet assured us that he had a histiocytoma, which is a benign tumor that resolves on its own. We kept an eye on it and it got quite a big bigger in June and July, but our vet was not concerned. Monday night, Finny decided he had had enough of this thing and he bit it. 🤦🏻♀️ I’ll spare you the details but by Wednesday morning, the histiocytoma was necrotic and infected. Our pup went into surgery Wednesday afternoon and had the growth removed and was home, recovering by that evening. He is a complete menace with his cone on and has already managed to get loose from his cone and chew several of his stitches, requiring re-suturing. We are now watching him like a hawk and he is currently sleeping in bed next to me so I can make sure he doesn’t pull on his stitches. It’s been a loooooong week. 😅 Despite the craziness this week, we are still in love with our big puppy! Finny’s personality is really starting to shine and he is loved by everyone. His favorite thing ever is having his neck scratched, he learned how to play fetch (ish), he still cannot catch a treat from mid-air and always looks confused when he misses, and his favorite sleep position is on his back with all four paws in the air. Happy half-birthday Finny-boo-boo! Finn’s favorite position to sleep in. 😂 His spot every morning while I get ready for work. I love his big eyes in this picture. ❤️ The “Dane sit”… butt on the couch, front paws on the floor. My youngest son loves to scratch Finn behind the ears. 😂 More silly sleeping positions. He stayed like this for over an hour. This was taken a few hours after his surgery. My SO only has hot pink co-flex and I think Finny is rocking the pink bandage. Thank you for all the Finn love over the past few months!

Great Danes are such sweethearts! I can't imagine one with a giant cone, LOL.

He’s a cutie! My black lab puppy Pepper is around 38 pounds at five months and seems huge to me. I can’t imagine having one that is 90 pounds!
Puppies have so much energy!

I can't get enough of all the Finns. This is too much cuteness for one thread.
