Years ago (back in my 20's) I had a Dalmatian named Smokey Rose. She was an amazing dog. Obedient, kind, and my best friend. She went everywhere I went. I even took her abroad with me when I trained horses outside the US during a 6 month adventure. She lived a long 13 years and had to be put down due to a severe stroke that left her unable to function. I was broken hearted. I knew that one day I'd want another Dalmatian, but it took me until now to decide on the right one.. almost 16 years later.
Let me introduce you to Jypsie Queen.
Jypsie is a wild one... who is taming our hearts instead of the other way around. Our Australian Shepherd, Jak, has taken up with her... with an eyeroll and a sigh. They're quite comical to watch play.
