All in the Family

Biography: Son of my dog Bobby (german dachshund) and a friend's bitch (american dachshund),he's been with us since his very tender age of 6 weeks because his mom was sick and couldn't breast feed her three puppies. He's been clever and sweet,with his own character and habits. A loud barker, he could stand on his back legs up to 10 minutes, he loved children's toys (even more than children do), loved to open suitcases and search them to the bottom, to find some toy for him inside...! In Christmas he always knew which one was his gift and sat upon the box all night waiting to be opened next day. He loved us all at home but didn't like strangers,he even bit some of our guests. Then, we made it a habit to isolate him in the bedroom, each time we had guests. He was a happy dog, loved the sea, loved stray dogs, loved playing with stones, loved the countryside and running in the woods. For 14 years he's been with us, we've been places with him, we've shared a lot of happy memories, all this until this last September of 2009. He hadn't been feeling well from the beginning of this year. We thought it was because he was getting old. Middle September we found out he had a malignant tumor in his stomach and wouldn't live long. On the 19th of September Suki left us forever.
