old. Her name was Aja when we brought her home and we renamed her Alka because that was my sister's dog's name
back in the 70's (Dachshund as well). Somehow we ended up using both names. A year later I persuaded my mom that
we need another dog (I made a list of reasons of WHY we need another dog and I made sure that the list was long).
We brought another Dachshund from the same family and her name was Bessy (no name change there :o) They both
stolen steaks from kitchen counter tops and barking at people with funny hats). Among her favorite things to do was
every now and then when she would nurse and carry around stuffed animals and act like a mom. Her favorite toy was

would walk and I would get worried because I did not see her (we did not have to use a leash) and then I would find her
right next to my feet. She was not as clever because she did not need to. She lived in her own Bessyland. Later, Alka
had 5 beautiful puppies (Sarah, Monty, Cika, Sika, and Vilik) and she was the greatest dog mother. I spent 10 years
with these 2 dogs before I moved to the US. On my last visit I had this uneasy feeling that it was the last time I saw
them. It was. Alka passed away a couple of years later and Bessy followed her soon. It was tough but it was even
tougher on my mom because she was there and I was here. They both rest in peace in our backyard with their favorite
toys. As silly as it may sound I always feel their presence, I can recall their smell, gestures and all that. My mom got a
new puppy two weeks after Bessy had departed. It was a good choice she made and it helped with her grief. Our new
dog's name is ... yup Alka and she is the wildest from all the dogs we have had. I only met her once but I hear the
stories all the time. She is the only dog who LOVES swimming AND diving.
In Long Beach we had a Lab named Cody. He was my roommate's dog but we all took care of him. Beautiful dog and
unlike my Dachshunds, Cody was extremely mellow. I'd take him to the dog beach and he loved walking in Naples
smelling all the plants and flowers. One time we accidentally locked him in the backyard and he let us know that was
NOT cool by breaking all the pots. Lesson learned. Cody passed away a few years ago.
I'm dog-less now and I miss having one or two dogs so I appreciate all my clients with dogs.
