“If conversation was the lyrics, laughter was the music, making time spent together a melody that could be replayed over and over without getting stale.”
― Nicholas Sparks
I hope you’ll agree that looking at all of these happy faces here will never be stale to look at.

“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.

p.s. I was not compensated for mentioning the upcoming Blu-Ray & Digital HD release of Disney’s animated movie ‘101 Dalmatians’.

“Christmas is not a date on a calendar.
It’s more than a state of mind.
It’s a condition of the heart.”
― Toni Sorenson
I am very grateful to have learned this important life lesson from the Dalmatians.
It was Christmas to them each and every day.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

I am thankful and blessed to have had La Petite Grande Dame Cherie in my life.
She was exactly what I needed and didn’t know it at the time.
I think you can see by these images, the feeling was mutual.

Miss CookiesNCream
This was taken a couple days after The Bandit was sent OTRB 06/2008.
While she was happy to have me all to herself again,
she truly missed her brofur.
As you can see, she was on an quest to capture his scent.

Miss CookiesNCream on the left, snuggled with The Bandit on the loveseat.
How could I ask them to move when they gave me these looks?
They were waiting for me to join them for a Spottyed Snuggle!
