So dals are supposed to be fire dogs right? Turns out at least my line of dallys are!!! Ever since Sadie was a baby she used to curl up on the hearth of the fireplace and sleep there any time there was a fire in. We became concerned early on because she was just a little puppy and what if she didn't know to not go in there? Plus it got so hot by there didn't it burn her?? But no, anytime you moved her away she went right back. Since then she never leaves the fireplace when there is a fire burning. In fact its pretty silly because if it starts to die down she gets up on it standing there looking at us like "UHMM my fire is going out!!! HELLOO!!!" its so cute. She will spend hours sitting in front of it staring into it as if something interesting is happening, its almost like she's in a trance looking into the fire. She's fascinated! Mikey, her husband never does this though. She must have passed on the gene to her babies because at least four of them do the same thing!!! Two of her sons are reported to lay by the fireplace and both of her daughters insist on being right up by the fire as well! This is so cute and silly!!! We knew Dalmatians were "fire" dogs but this is taking it to a whole new level!!! I have many dogs and non of the other dogs care about the fire; the dals must know it is their duty to protect and watch over the fire!!
Here are some pictures of Sadie by her fire, on the right is her daughter Perdita taking after her!
