Hi Buzz ...

ohhhhhhhhh, that makes me sad ... I can't imagine (even though I know it
happens all the time) anyone mistreating an animal ... maybe thats why your
*dal* is such a sweetheart, shes seen the worst of life and
KNOWS how good she's got it now!!! ohhhhhhhhhhh, give her an extra treat
from her Aunt Pris :)

about our sweeties, yes, bless their hearts both are hyper~hypos ... both
are AKC registered and from totally different breeders ... in fact,
Charlie's mother is/was an AKC show dog!!! Charlie is 4yo and Dottie will
be 1yo on July 4th, so lots of PUPPY left in Ms. Dottie <G> ... we've had
Charlie since 6 wks and inherited Dottie @ 7 mths from our dd and dsil who
should've NEVER tried to raise such an active dog in an APARTMENT, for
goodness sakes!!! {*ACK* what were they THINKING???} both are extremely
smart and affectionate, just HYPER~dogs ... we're *still* working on
obedience training w/ the puppy which is very time consuming but necessary
... our vet recommended LOTS OF EXCERCISE for both this would help their
prob ... both were altered b/c we didn't want 101 little dalmatianlets
running around our backyard (both were from litters of *12/14*!!! UGH!!!)
... our last dalmatian, Gladys, was as cool as a cucumber, except when the
GARBAGE MAN came down the alley and she literally just came UNGLUED!!!
sniff :::::::: we had to have her put to sleep after a stroke @ 16 yo and it
just broke our hearts ... sniff ::::: our neighbors around the corner
have a HYPER~Dal, so, maybe it's just something 'bout those TEXAS DALLIES!!!
haha, I amuse myself!!!

we've had a lab, two toy poodles, manchester doberman but personally, I'll
never have any other breed than a
Dalmatian ...
Pris
