Shadow






















Our house is a little quieter today.

We lost a very special Dalmatian who came in to our lives 1 1/2 years ago.

His name was Shadow.


Shadow endured 11 years of a miserable life, living outside in a pen,
with dirty water and a filthy house, only being used as
a money maker to breed. The owners even had his voice box removed
because the neighbors were shooting B-B's at the all the
Dalmatians kept in pens because they were barking too much. When the owners finally
decided to stop breeding, they put an ad in the paper and a young girl went to see the dogs.
Even though she couldn't financially care for one, she took Shadow because she felt so sorry for him.
She found us, called and we went to pick Shadow up without a second thought.
Because of his age and the fact he had never had much human touch, we decided to keep
Shadow for life. He lived in the "kitchen wing" of our house and tolerated our kisses and hugs every morning and night.
He got fresh water, clean blankets and treats, and had his spotted pals to hang out with.
Although we only had the privilege of having Shadow for 1 1/2 years,
he touched both of us with his big sad eyes and "barkless" bark. He will
now join all the other precious creatures on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
We will always love you Shadow and never, ever forget your sweet soul.
