Well, Polka Dots, the Polka in the Polka and Orion Official Dalmatian Message Board, and the original inspiration for putting that board together about 13 years ago, has passed away. She was closing in on 15 and had been in deteriorating mental health for some time. She had some kind of attack or convulsion yesterday at home after we picked her up from the vet/kennel after our vacation. She was really out of it most of the night and died very quietly in her sleep after a few hours. It was almost like she wanted to see us one more time before she went so we could all move on in peace. She was a good dog and we will miss her (and Orion who died about 2 years ago). Thanks to everyone from the board for their support to me and other dog lovers over the years. Good luck to you all and your dogs. Gary Sanderson  |

Gary, if you are reading this board, please know how sorry I am that Polka is gone. I know your house probably feels very empty now that both Polka and Orion are gone. But what a legacy they have left. Because of them and your board, many friendships have been made over the years. I have been fortunate enough to meet over 30 people that were members of the family that we called the P&O Board.
Please accept my most sincere condolences. I know your Dals were well loved and I'm sure they are letting all the other Dals at the Bridge know that they are the famous P&O Dals.
Julie
BTW, Susan, could you pass on this message to Gary just in case he isn't reading this new board? Thanks!!!!

Goodnss this really feels like the end of an era.
Gary, it seems she held on just to say goodbye. I am so sorry for your loss - we all so much to you, Polka and Orion for bringing us all together and I can only hope that they are now together and happy and healthy again with all the dogs ever mentioned on their board.
I hope the world doesn't feel too empty for too long, pop in and see us here when you can.
