changed. He would not walk 3 blocks in 82 degree weather on Monday.

A-Reyk's Everyday Collar

I get lots of questions about Reykjavik's daily collar. It is the Lupine "Bling Bonz" style.It is very durable, goes through daily dogplay and is ground into the grass and dirt repeatedly, but somehow always appears clean. It has the easy snap closure, and is adjustable. I love the fancy leather collars, but for everyday wear, this is the best. plus, it comes in so many styles and colors, there is one to complement every dog.

I got mine on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Lupine-Large-Dog-Collar-Bling/dp/B000MGOVNE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1259930551&sr=8-5

You can also go Amazon and do a search for Lupine Collars to see all the different styles. They also make matching harnesses and leashes.

The collar shown in Reykjavik's headshot is my favorite ever - a custom made leather with two rows of studs ans a row of small stars in the middle. However, he went through two separate incidents where he cut the tips of his ears, and it took months for the wound to heal each time, leaving him with small nips out of each ear. If you look closely, you can see in this photo in the black portion of the ear, next to his cheek, there is a small divot along the edge.

I believe it was caused by the tiny sharp stars on the collar. He often shakes his head violently, and the ears go flying. He could put an eye out with those things. The ears used to slap on the stars on the collar, and the stars created a tiny laceration on the edge of them.. He has not had a problem since we changed collars. Things like this are fine for photo shoots, but better to have the softer collar for everyday.

Reykjavik loves to chase the squirrels in Dupont Circle. Our first
stop on our big Road Trip to Key West.

Weighing In

Went to the vet Friday to get a health certificate for upcoming road
trip. A-Reyk weighed in at 135.5 the mist ever. He happily gets on the
scale to wegh-in, unlike most people.

During Spring 2010 Fashion Week here in New York, we hung out in front of the tents at Bryant Park, and not only did Reykjavik have hundreds of photos taken of him, he also was interviewed by

The Most Affectionate Dog I've Ever Seen

Are all Great Danes like this? alexander Reykjavik just cannot get enough of G, being that he is gone all day at work and travels some too.

So when G finally does get home in the evening, Mr. Reykjavik just cannot get close enough to him.









He literaly hugs him sometimes, and here in this photo, its time for all 130 pounds of dog to "cuddle".
