Let's see, Dakota came home with her Daddy one Sunday afternoon when I had no clue where he had ran off to. We got lucky because he had wanted a Dane but were about to give up looking for one because we couldn't find one in our price range. Well, he found her in front of Wal-Mart where some lady was selling her (I know, it wasn't a shelter or anything like that, but maybe she would have ended up in one if we hadn't saved her!) We couldn't ask for a better dog for us, we love her so much.

As for Destiny, Brian and I were thinking about getting another dog for us and to keep Dakota company while we're gone. We were trying to find a lab or something like that but were having trouble finding the breeds we wanted. One night, our neighbor was over and asked if we knew anybody who wanted a free dalmation. Well, that was one of the breeds we had been considering so we got more info from him, went to see Destiny a couple of hours later, brought her home, and she seems like she knows she belongs there.

I can't believe how well they've gotten along together or how attached to each other they are now. Destiny whines everytime Brian takes Dakota anywhere until her Dakota is back by her side. They act like they've been together forever, not just the 2 to 3 months that we've had them together. We got lucky, but I it often works out that way when you know stuff about a breed before you make a decision to get one and go into the decision of getting a pet fully aware of the responsiblities and are devoted to stick with it until the end!
