Seriously

Guys, c'mon. Tempy would never abandon you. I was just too busy finding pictures of this Great Dane puppy.

For those of you unfamiliar with this magnificent breed, according to Wikipedia, the Great Dane was developed from the medieval boarhound. In Old Norse (ON) and Old English (OE) the male is always referred to as ”Hund” (in etymology from "the Hunt/Hunter”) and the female as "grey/grig”. This division can still be seen in the hunting protocols from the Royal Kennels of the Royal Court of Denmark year 1710-36. Thus in Norse and Old English literature, specifically the compilation of sagas known as Elder Edda (Poetic Edda), the hound is named in variations over these words, for example ”hvndar” and ”greyiom” ( Skírnismál , verse 11, Elder Edda) "mjóhundr/myo hwnd/mjøhund, meaning "slender hound" or sighthound (Scanian Law from 1200/1250)The large hound, alongside the horse and the raven, is holy to the kings of Denmark and England.

Look how regal, how grand...

How... oh, whoops. Sorry, spoke too soon.
