Rolf, moving really fast

This web site is about our experiences with a Dalmatian called Rolf. Here I'll focus on this Dalmatian's care, diet and nutrition, Dalmatian anecdotes and, hopefully, insights into this Dal's habits, needs and character. Please remember that this is neither an instructional nor an advisory website, rather a history of one Dalmatian's fortunes and misfortunes with his carer.

Why this?

I'm not a dog lover, and frankly I don't care much generally for keeping pets.

So, why, you may ask, am I starting a web log about a pet Dalmatian?

My Dalmatian... No, I'll start again.

My wife's Dalmatian, Rolf, is a pain in the aspirations of anyone trying to keep their wages out of the hands of their local vet. It's a "Love her (and I do, very much), love her dog!" situation, and because Rolf is a living creature with an almost endearingly child-like snarl at feeding time, I have taken an interest in improving his general wellbeing, health and body odour. Lately I realised that while I may not be the worlds greatest expert on keeping Dalmatians, if you want to keep a Dalmatian you have to be. This is where I begin.
