Monday 1 May 2006 - Disaster Strikes

Its been a while since I spent any time with Steve (No 101) so I took the opportunity this bank holiday to take him out with Comedy Jo and Ninja Deer, the travelling reindeer to do some sightseeing in York.

Having lived in York for 6 years, I decided it was about time I visited the National Railway Museum. Even though I have no interest in trains (apart from them getting me to work on time every morning), its free to get in and now has the added attraction of the 'Yorkshire Eye'. That's a big wheel to you and me.

To be honest Steve was a bit over-excited and I perhaps should have been keeping an eye on him as he jumped around on a wall with Ninja Deer, trying to get a better look at the wheel. But who could have known that Steve would, in his excitement, plummet from the wall into the road where his head would become detatched from his body? Nobody.

Even though he'd been decapitated, Steve seemed anxious that we didn't let it ruin the day and insisted that we continue with the sight seeing. (Apparently decapitation isn't that serious when you're a plasticine dog.) So we looked at some trains, and rode on a big wheel. Then we took Steve to the vets to have his head superglued back on.

He's OK now.

Friday 17 March 2006 - Reincarnation

Just days after I put Operation Dalmation to bed, I received an email from across the pond from Debbie, who is starting up her own branch of Operation Dalmation in the USA.

Looks like there's still life in the old dog yet! I'll keep you posted...

Thursday 9 March 2006 - The End?

Those of you who regularly check the site will notice that there hasn't been any news for a while. The fact of the matter is that all of the dogs have now been released, and while some have been in contact to let me know about their new homes, others are, I think its safe to assume, gone forever. Its a sad thought but all good things have to come to an end.

I often get people who know about the project asking how it's going. The truth of the matter is that it's not really going anywhere anymore. There won't be any more responses to the remaining lost dog's pleas for help, nor will there be any more releases. 101 is a good number. My favourite in fact.

I will still occasionaly pop up with news of what some members of our dalmation family have been up to, and of any other projects I might one day have up my sleeve as soon as I know myself. Thank you to everyone who has been involved with the project and for all the lovely comments I've received for the duration.

See you around

Leanne
