My husband and I adopted "Waldo" two weeks ago. He is one of the sweetest
dogs ever. The very first day I brought him home he picked up a toy and
walked over to my husband and laid the toy in his lap and looked up at
him with the cutest look, as if to say "please play with me". As you
can imagine. I watched as "Waldo" melted my husbands heart. His Foster
parent, "Ross", taught him how to sit for a treat before coming to us,
but Waldo is very intelligent, as most Dal's are. Within the first week
he picked up laying down also. We are still working on the roll over,
but he is coming along great. The reason that we were looking for a Dal
is that we already have a 4 year old named George. George was needing a
playmate. Waldo fits the bill perfectly. They run around and play tug
of war with their toys inside and out. They really took to each other
right away. They will even eat and drink out of the same bowls at the
same time without any problems. I try to move them to their own bowls
and they seem to prefer to share. They even switch beds with each
other. I really never expected things to go so smoothly. I want to say
"Thank You" to everyone involved with Dalmatian Rescue, Especially Ross,
Beth, and Patsy. Both my husband and I are very happy with Waldo. He
will always have a home with us. He is part of our family now.
