"This is......

................my favourite pet of all time". Henry came into our lives as an 8 week old puppy a couple of weeks after we married and he provided our family with so many happy times for almost 13 years. Don't let anyone tell you a Dalmatian is dumb............they are just plain obstinate when they want to be. Henry was the most gentle natured loving family dog you would ever want to own. Darling Daughter just walked in and saw the old album of Henry photos and asked "Can we get another Dalmatian?". I really think one day I will have another one, I miss old Henners. We do have a Jack Russell who is a great little fellow but he just isn't a Dalmatian, he was a great companion for Henry in his last few years when he wasn't feeling his best. What would life be without pets to love and be loved by?

Thanks to Two Peas in a Pod for this weeks meme, she is another passionate pet owner. I must apologise for not participating in "This is........" for quite a few weeks, I just haven't got my #$%# together, sorry! Check out Three Buttons to find the huge list of other "This is......" participants.

Thought you might like to see this photo of my mum in the 1940's with her favourite pet 'Possum' the cow. Now you know where my link with possums might stem from.
