It happens accidentally,
in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”

Miss CookiesNCream
Miss CookiesNCream will always be my heart dog.
She was there for me from the moment I set eyes on her
until she departed this world.
I am thankful for all the lessons I have learned
from her being in my life for thirteen years.
For that, I will be forever grateful.
Do you have or have had a dog
who captured your heart the way she did for me?

“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.”
~Robert F. Scott
The Bandit loved performing his famous “leap and dive, barrel roll, squirm on his back”
on a regular basis after my DH passed away as he knew it always cheered me up!
He taught me to appreciate the moment as you may never have that chance again.

“The dog who meets with a good master is the happier of the two.”
-Maeterlinck
Miss CookiesNCream sure made an impact on my life.
She was my first dog, who was a major influence of who I am today.
I’m not sure if she was the happier of the two.
Have you had a dog who’s affected you in this way?

“The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.”
– George Graham Vest
The Bandit and Miss CookiesNCream.
They were waiting at the top of the stairs for our special twice daily time together.
This was taken in 2003, while I was in the process of adjusting to life as a widow.
This beautiful quote sums up how I cherish that friendship between us.
Hope you’ll hug your friend for me and my Spottyed Angels.

“A dog has one aim in life… to bestow his heart.”
~ JR Ackerley
I am most humbled that all three gave their hearts to me in their own special way.
I’m to understand that this month’s Blog Paws theme is about Spoiling Our Pets.
Miss CookiesNCream, The Bandit and La Petite Grande Dame Cherie
were referred to as my Spoiled Spotts.
As you can see by these images, they lived up to that name.

As a Dalmatian lover, I’m excited about the upcoming (re)release of the
Disney animated classic “101 Dalmatians”!
I fell in love with this breed as a child. I was an avid reader, read all the library books twice, sometimes for a third time, before they were due back. It gotten to the point of my being limited to check out the same number of books to how old I was. I was quite the happy camper to be selecting books from the Young Adult section in the main room rather than from the Children’s room. My siblings did not appreciate my appetite for the written word, as they sometimes didn’t read all the books they checked out within the given time.
In 1995, Nicholas (my now late partner) mentioned there was a live 101 Dalmatian movie to be released the following year. I think he may have noticed how my face lit up when I described how I loved reading Dodie Smith’s book when I was a ‘tweener. In late February 1996, I was in bed with the flu when he said he had a surprise for me and wanted to see if I was awake for it. I waved at him but really wanted more sleep. He said he’d have to get this surprise out of the car. That’s when I jumped out of bed, ran down the stairs and met Nicholas coming in the door from the garage holding a puppy! My very first dog!!! We named her CookiesNCream as her markings resembled Nicholas’s favorite ice cream flavor at that time. The ‘Miss’ part came later when she decided to be a lady.
CookiesNCream, October 1996
I owe so much to this little spotted lady. She inspired me on so many levels.
For all that she has taught me, I am forever grateful.
