Vladee was dark as a moonless night, but could brighten anyone's day with a Woof!  Name explaination-her name was "Lady" when we got her at one and a half years old, but didn't want to walk around the park yelling, hey Lady come here ..so we tried to find something that sounded similar ...Vladamir the Impailer, stealth dog, Vlade Divic basketball player, and a nice woman I met from ex-Yugo named Vlademira were all inspirations for her name.
