"Mirage" This week's DaDane features a portrait of a female fawn from Florida named Alex. Alex and her sister Molly were regular visitors to DaDane of DaWeek. They viewed this site through Web TV. Their favorite picture was Fugitives, which features a fawn with two monkeys. Unfortunately both Alex and Molly passed away in September within a few weeks of each other. They would have been eight years old in February. This picture is a tribute to them both, and a tribute to the beauty of the fawn Great Dane. If you would like to see a special animated version of this image, click here. The file is 390K; it will take some extra time to download.
