My routine with my 9 Danes and Eva's 12 day old puppies. We definitely follow a schedule with meals, kennel cleaning, outdoor time & one on one time with each of our danes.
As you will see they know the routine too, not sure who trained who. They let me know when its time to get up and get the day going.

Lexi's update} She's our harlequin expecting mother. She is doing great! Getting round and taking many naps in her mom's bed (MaKayla my daughter) Her xrays are scheduled for November 12, 2021
