Welcome to my website!
For the latest on my adventures, please click here to visit my blog!
Hello – I’m Honey
They call me a Great Dane but I’m not sure what that is – I just know that most other dogs are very short.
Sometimes I see other dogs like me but everyone tells me that I’m a very big girl, even for a Dane! 
At the moment, I live in Auckland, New Zealand with my humans - and I also had a ”sister”, Lemon the tortoishell cat, but sadly Lemon was taken from us very suddenly and she went to the Rainbow Bridge on January 27th 2009.
Lemon - we will miss you terribly
Lemon and me...
Doing pet therapy work...
My human, Hsin-Yi, does lots of things with me. We are members of Outreach Therapy Pets NZ which means that I am a Therapy Dog and I go to visit sick people who need help and a bit of cheering up.
For more on my therapy work, visit the Therapy Work page
I also do lots of training with Hsin-Yi, like Obedience and Clicker Training which I love! – and we do this really cool thing called Canine Freestyle which is like doggie dancing: Hsin-Yi teaches me lots of fun tricks and then we dance a routine together to music! I even competed at the national competition for Canine Freestyle - they say that I am the first Great Dane to do this kind of thing!

We hope you have fun on your big OE. We are very proud of ‘our daughter’, we will watch your blog with interest!
Much love from all at Yacanto.

Hello Honey!
WOW your blog looks AWESOME, your human did an excellent job! I’ve got to get my human to do something like it for me~
I heard about the big OE coming up for you, I hope you’ll have a great time and I’ll be thinking of you no matter where you are! I feel sorry for my human though, she’s quite attached to your human… I think they are going to make the most of that thing they call “telephone”.
Lot love, bouncy hugs and hairy kisses,

Hi Honey,
I met you over Dino’s blog.
I like your name and your therapy work.
I’ll will take time to read all your posts.
I haven’t have any Great Dane friends, can we be friends, please.
Cheers!

Hi Honey,
I bet you’re always sweet, highly concentrated level of sugar.
My name is Mango, that means I could be as sour as a lemon, hehe.
Thanks for replying promptly, I like that.
I’m only 3 kg, go figure, please be gentle when you play with me.
Your mom is cute, you guys make a perfect pair.
Mine is not that cute, I don’t even think about taking her pictures but because I’m cute, she glues the camera to her hand to click my image all the times.
You could make a guestbook the way you want it, please go back to my blog, at the bottom frame of the guestbook, click on ” make your own”, voila, you get it.
You could choose anything you want from the size, the skin, etc…
Good luck, can I add your blog to my blogroll?
(I almost delete your e-mail because the name is not familiar, sorry)
Cheers!

Hi there Honey! I actually saw some of your freestyle routines on YouTube a couple of weeks ago. What a coincidence that I would then stumble across your blog! Welcome to DWB, you sure are a pretty Dane. We’ll be sure to check back in on your adventures.

I did a freestyle seminar a month or so ago and I showed the audience Hsin-Yi & Honey’s routine to Hey Big Spender. They got a big round of applause and one lady was in tears…..she thought it was so wonderful to see such a big dog doing freestyle, and so well! She was also moved by the the obvious bond between them both.
Well done guys!!

It is a pleasure to meet you and your family!
You are sooo very beautiful, talented and special. I believe it is wonderful that you share your talents with the world so everyone can love you!
The pictures that you posted of your therapy dog work are very precious. You have no idea how appreciated you are to those who get to meet you! I am training to be a therapy dog, but some days my mom has doubts.
I love to meet new friends and am so happy that you visited my blog! May I add you to my fav fur blog list so we can keep touch and see what you are up to?

Hi Honey. A plushy is a furry toy, usually an animal with a squeaquer inside it. But it has no stuffing. It’s limp and skinny! My Mama likes those for me because I destuffed all my stuffed toys and she doesn’t want any stuffing getting stuck in my gut because that could be very dangerous. I like plushies but stuffies are more fun.
Have a good day.

I already know how to run around the house and pick up all of my toys and put them in my toy box, but not too many other interesting tricks. I’m still a pup tho.

Hi Honey – thanks for letting us know about clever Scottie, his human must be very proud! We’ve got in touch and have told him that a gorgeous Dane sent us his way…
¦-D
By the way – we’re both jeleous of Ombre, what a lucky Schnauzer he is being your special fella! We take it as a personal compliment that you have a soft spot for our breed though, from miniature through to giant!

Hi Honey,
I found something that I think your Human, Hsin-Yi would be interested in. If she doesn’t know about it already that is 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intelligence_of_Dogs
Please pass it on to her and tell her to give you a big scratch behind the ears from me…
By the way Mr. Darcy is going fabulously – huge improvements!

Freestyling sounds like so much fun! I’m not sure I’d be into being directed, even by my own human, but I do love to do stunts in the air! I’ll let you know when I have a post about them!
April 24, 2009 at 8:55 am
You are a very big and purrty woofie Honey!!! We are very sorry for the loss of Lemon….she looks like she was a great kitty!
April 24, 2009 at 11:01 am
Hey Honey! Thanks for visiting our blog. Us cats call our humans, beans. They are human beings, so we drop the “human” part and shorten the “beings” to beans.
We hope you get a new kitty soon!!! Meowm (our Mom)would have a woofie if she could, but us two take up enough of her money and space in the home as it is!
