The Dotty Dog Story
So, Dotty Dog, where did it begin? I’m not sure where, all I know is the love I have for dogs and animals is unconditional. I remember wanting to work with animals from being a little girl, trying to rescue the baby birds that fell from my grandad’s roof when they grazed their knees, they never survived, but I tried anyway. Our first family dog, Prince, was an enormous Rough Collie and I remember being dragged across Charlton Brook face down when he chased another dog but I would not let go of that lead, no way. From that moment on I knew I wouldn’t ever have a life without a dog. He lived for 12 and a half years before he passed away and to say we were heartbroken was an understatement. Our next fur-baby was one of the first Labradoodles, not the fancy ones there are now, she was a mistake over the garden fence and a nervous wreck but Emma was beautiful and she lived to the ripe old age of 19.
When I left home that is where my love for Dalmatians began. Scooby, born a millennium baby and as daft as a brush was my very first puppy to call my own, and boy was he trouble, but adorable. He caused havoc wherever he went and was known as the pasty stealer in Cornwall! When he was 2 yrs. old I decided he needed a mate and we rescued an 11 month old female dalmatian, she was elegant and beautiful. They were the dalmatian equivalent of Bonnie and Clyde when they were together but they were inseparable until Scooby passed away at the age of 14.
Mayzee was a snooty little lady, and although she seemed to be okay without her partner in crime; Reggie, an 18 month old dalmatian needed a home and guess who couldn’t resist. He was different, the lesser spotted Dalmatian, but he was a gentleman and he partnered Mayzee until she passed away at 12 and a half after suffering with a short illness of Leukemia.
So, then there was Reggie, mild mannered Sir Reginald all by himself, but that wouldn’t be for long. My daughter’s 7th birthday was coming up and she wanted a puppy! So, who should come into my life but Daisy? She was the most beautiful puppy and also had something very special about her, she was deaf. This was something I knew nothing about but after doing my research and realising that actually deafness in a dog was not actually not that much different to having a fully hearing dog, I decided to take a chance on her and embrace the situation. She was amazingly alert, intelligent, and quick to learn (if she was looking at me). Admittedly, I had to do things slightly differently and adapt training to her but she was a joy to work with. Daisy is a very nervous girl, she is reactive with other dogs and people she is not familiar with but that’s okay, I know her, and she knows me. It can be difficult in certain public situations but as long as you keep your wits about you and have eyes in the back of your head then its fine.
