I hope Barney is with you by Christmas and that he settles down with you. It would be great to hear how he gets on in his new home so please don't hesitate to send us updates :)Corinnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510292249777697226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800809685910210879.post-4881778934196210202009-12-20T20:14:01.200+00:002009-12-20T20:14:01.200+00:00Barney is coming to live with me, my wife and Tess...Barney is coming to live with me, my wife and Tess (our other rescued Dalmation).<br /><br />Hopefully he'll be with us for Xmas.<br /><br />Retrieverman is right - they are very active. However, I have never had a dog that will eat absolutely everything! Anyone with a Dalmation needs to be very careful with diet and committed to long walks / plenty of exercise.<br /><br />Rest assured Barney's twilight years will be good ones.<br /><br />MikeShinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319624412614734449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800809685910210879.post-60614136134525191682009-11-22T23:26:58.467+00:002009-11-22T23:26:58.467+00:00I can't believe a Dalmatian would ever get tha...I can't believe a Dalmatian would ever get that fat. The ones I've known have been so full of energy that could eat all day and never gain a pound.<br /><br />But I've never fed dogs chocolate for a very simple reason. I don't like them to eat poison. Some dogs can handle some milk chocolate, but it's really not a good thing to feed them!<br /><br />I was expecting to see an obese Labrador, beagle, or corgi, but this is the first photo of a fat Dalmatian I've ever seen.<br /><br />They are normally so full of energy that the average person can't keep them under control, which is one reason why they wind up at rescue whenever film featuring these dogs is released. People buy them thinking they can keep them in a small house with a modest yard, when they really need lots and lots exercise.Retrievermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780519136583108632noreply@blogger.com
