"How much is that doggie at the window?"

Tweet

Those days we had this craze for pedigree dogs. We went in search and finally landed at a place where they were selling Dalmatian puppies. We spotted one and they told me it was being sold at half the normal rate as it had a defect. We hesitated. Then they told us what the defect was. They said this puppy had a black patch on one of the ears which meant he would not stand a chance at winning any of those contests. We wanted a pet and that's it - patch or no patch. We bought that cuddly thing and we name him Robo. We had the joy of his companionship just for ten and a half years as he developed a bump on one of the leg joints that did not heal. We had the best Vet around but we lost him to that bump. Robo was a big dog and since he had to be lifted around during the last few days - it was a difficult task - we decided never to go for a large sized dog. We got our Bull Terrier and about him in another post.
