Dottie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Dottie
Age: Eleven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dalmatian
Home: Forked River, New Jersey, USA
 
   Dottie came to our family eleven years ago. The original owners tried to make her a show dog and abused her. Once with my husband and I, it took her six weeks to finally warm up to us. Now she is the dog of our dreams. Dottie is very well behaved and she smiles up a storm. In fact when people meet Dottie for the first time they always think she is snarling at them, but reality she is just smiling!

    One of her favorite things to do is when I sing the song Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, Dotiie instinctively rolls for me. She loves to talk. If I say ooh ra ra, she does it back if I tell her to do three ra, ra's she does it! She is our General as we call her because we also have two other Dalmatians that she watches over, they are her babies although she never gave birth, she takes care of them like they are her own. Now as she is getting older she has mellowed. She loves her table food and one of her favorite vegetables is eggplant! She always finds my husbands eggplants in his garden and she eats them right up.

    Her personality is impeccable, she loves to sit and snuggle with us and pushes her head into our stomachs. Dottie all in all is a delight!!! The best dog we have ever owned and we sure do hope she lives another ten years!
