Facebook page.(Polish for "Good Day")
Hi folks,
My name is Dave and I am a huge dog lover. I have spent most of my adulthood in the US military. I have had 3 dogs with me in 5 different states, in order: Arizona, Alaska, Florida, Texas, and Massachusetts. They have all "gone ahead" now and await me at the RB, I look forward to the re-unite. The first was Sassy (looked like a dingo) who I got from the MSPCA and she lived to 16 yo. My ex-GF got Princess (blk/brindle lab X) at a puppy mill in Tuscon (along with Parvo) and she lived to 15 (last to pass, 01 Dec 10). My same ex-GF got Skeeter, a black Border Collie, from a "box of puppies" from a fellow student at school in Tucson and he lived to 11 yo. Anyways, they were "my children", I don't have any of the human variety and don't plan to. But I will have more fur children in the future, likely a DS and a Border Collie. I have seen a lot of MWDs in the military, mostly Malinois and GSDs but once I saw the DS, I fell in love!
Dzien dobry!

Welcome, Dave!
Any plans on when you may be able to get a little stripey?

Ugh, tough question. Believe me, I think about it daily. But I am not quite in the position to get a stripey. But I suppose this is my first step towards looking for "fur children". But it has been an extremely tough past 5 years. In addition to losing all 3 of my dogs, I just lost my dad in July. So right now I am just "window shopping" and exploring DS stories, info, breeders, etc.
Regards,
Dave <Sassy, Princess, Skeeter>

Dave...
All I know for sure that my DS quickly became the closest companion you could ever want, the bond was immediate, and ever lasting. Truly the most devoted, loyal, loving dog I could ever imagine. Luckily I could take her to most all the places i went when she was here, but rest assured, if for some reason she had to stay, without fail she would be posted up waiting for my return. Some how how she always knew when I was headed back.
Left her at a dog day care, once! They told me she had no interest in anything except waiting for my return, if I left her with friend, it was the same. If you want a dog to be your loyal companion... is Dutch!
