I had a somewhat similar story. When I was 15 I read an article about an adorable Yorkie that lived with a woman in London. I immediately fell in love with the breed and wanted one so much. It wasn’t until I was in my 60s that I finally found one. She’d been terribly abused and was eventually rescued by an animal rescue group. I had only seen her photo but I immediately went online and applied. One week later I was able to take home. We had 8 beautiful years together but cancer took her from me 3 years ago. I still miss her so much.
Best dogs I ever owned were a pair of Dalmatians.
What are blessing you are. Sounds like a happy, loving home in every way possible💙
I have always wanted chihihua. Im 70 years old now so it unlikely. I hope you have many years to love your fur baby.
Amazing congratulations 🎉
I'm so happy for you!!
G,..oj
Such a beautiful pup🎉
Congratulations….❤🎉
Dalmatian is a very high energy dog. You can’t be a lazy owner and have a happy Dalmatian. They want to go and fast all the time.
Awesome story..
Beautiful dog and family💞💞🙏🙏😎😎😎
❤🐶❤ thank you for being a determined Dalmatian dad. Your family is awesome. Angels all of you. Enjoy your new pup.
Biggest thing is their urinary health. They don't hurt lawns because the ph of their urine is low, BUT that means they have a tendency to get crystals. Special diet usually keep it in check but always good to keep an eye and talk with the vet
She's beautiful.
I also have a house full. 4 dogs, 2 cats 6 chickens and a duck. A BF and we board and do doggy daycare… AND I groom at home so at times there's 10 dogs here. I love it.
He had 12 kids lolol
Did he mean his cats and his dogs were his children or…?
What a wonderful story👏 To see & hear about a successful adoption, especially with the other beasties in the mix😄, makes me so happy! It's probably a rather chaotic household, in the best possible way though😉 What's a bit of animal fur (although I do have sympathy for allergy sufferers😷) when compared to the love, joy & loyalty our animals give us in return🥰
Well done to you for getting her ❤
❤ WOW! Waiting longer than 4 hours for adopting Twilight. Yes! You're going to be a good parent
Thank you! 🙏💖🐾
Lots of love in that house… Perfect!
❤😊
Considering the inspiration, Twilight is a good name!
I love that he got there three hours early just to make sure. Wonderful story.
PAWWWWWDORABLE!!!! ❤❤
What a beautiful dog! Thank you for saving this precious soul. So happy for this gorgeous baby ❤
Thank you for adopting ❤. That was one of the cutest stories ❤❤❤
All good but six kids having two fathers is unnatural math😢
Congrats on your childhood dream come true! I think the way Twilight settled into your home's routines is what keeping her high-energy need to work fulfilled. Take good care of her, Austyn!
That household sounds like it is full of love and probably some chaos. That is not necessarily a bad thing!
I had 4 kids in 5½ years and up to 3 rescued greyhounds, and occasionally some ducks, at any given point. For a fair time, that was in a 2½ bedroom bungalow! There was absolute chaos most of the daytime, but I wouldn't swap it for anything.
It trained my kids to have patience with each other, other people and any animals, and the two who have kids of their own now have even more patience than their dad and me. We're immensely proud of them all. Yes, we taught them many things, but I'm convinced the dogs taught them to love without judgement. I miss those days a lot ❤❤
Twilight is wonderful! 🌼
I have a Dalmatian. She is a little wild child, but she is my heart. She is almost 10, so I know I am on borrowed time with her. Enjoy the ride with your girl. 😊
Austyn, I am so happy you finally were able to adopted your sweet girl; Twilight! 🥰
