A very sad day indeed. Pepper, our beloved Dalmation, who lived to be 16 years and 8 months was put down today. She lived a very long time for her breed, the oldest Dalmation on record lived to be 17 years old. Pepper has always been a big part of our lives, she was a premarital pet. We picked out Pepper from her breeder in the summer of 1992 just a few months before Karen and I were married. She became so attached to us as we were to her up until today when we said our good byes. I feel very empty as I write this about her and us, it brings me such sorrow to know that I will not see her again. However, she brought much happiness and joy to our lives that I feel blessed to have been a part of her life too. From an early age Pepper was treated to her long walks mostly with Karen, sometimes as much as 4-5 miles a day. I think that added years to her life. She enjoyed being outdoors mostly but as long as she was close to us she was very happy. Pepper will be missed lots.
