We have two dalmatians, a cocker spaniel, a beagle and two gerbils in our family. Julie and Patch are two goofy clowns (dalmatians) and Rusty (our cocker spaniel) is our latest addition. Max is our beagle, the oldest in the bunch of our "Noah's Ark" at the age of 6 years. Jumpy and Digger are the two strangest gerbils you will ever meet. The children named them, for obvious reasons (this is what each of them loves to do all the time: Jumpy jumps, and Digger digs---all day long!)

Julie -- now, age 2 years

Patch, also age 2 years

This is my favorite Anne Geddes picture

On the first day of creation, God created Dalmatians.
On the second day , God created Man to serve the Dalmatian.
On the third day, God created all the animal on Earth ( especially the Lamb ) to serve as potential food for the Dalmatian.
On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that Man could labor for the good of the Dalmatian.
On the fifth day, God created the tennis ball so that the Dalmatian might, or might not, retrieve it.
On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the Dalmatian healthy and Man broke.
On the seventh day, God tried to rest, But he had to walk the dog!
