Happy 16th Birthday Diamond!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Diamond, 16 years old today!

Diva, Ch. Blackbullet's Diamond Diva, delivered a litter of 12 pups on March 25, 1999. This was her only litter and our last Dalmatian litter.  Diva was the pup my daughter selected from our 1995 litter.
  Today we celebrate the 16th Birthday  of Diamond, one of the pups we kept from our 1999 litter. She is the last of her litter.  

Captured here are 3 generations of our Dalmatians. Diamond on the left a few months old, her mother Diva from our 1995 litter and CJ born 1990 and my first Dalmatian.  Photo from June 1999.

Even at 11 years of age, Diamond could cover ground like a dog half her age. 

Today Diamond enjoyed a slow walk around the yard, sniffing the ground, following scents, wagging her tail. She ate well and had a small piece of pie for her birthday celebration. She remains a very loving and happy girl!
