INTRODUCING D-O-G


Ain't I cute? Well, maybe except for my snout. It got badly frostbitten a couple of winters ago, before the girls rescued me. It's red most of the time now, and no hair grows. When it's really cold (like during this past winter) it stings a lot. But rubbing it with my paw doesn't help - in fact, it makes things worse. My paws got a bit frostbitten too. They bother me sometimes, but the discomfort doesn't stop me from racing around the yard at top speed and leaping over obstacles like bushes, rocks, logs, and my dog friends, Peter, Gibbs, and Lola.

I weigh 61 pounds, which is about right for a mostly-Dalmatian dog. My tail is very strong. If I wag it too close to a plant it chops the stalks right off. My humans aren't too happy about that. As you can see, I'm white with a few dark spots here and there. I have a big black patch around my right eye. People say it make me look very distinguished.

Uh oh, here comes Gracie. I'd better stop writing. See you soon.                              ©2014
