It was early Autumn here in Portugal 2001, barely months after the terrible attacks of 9/11 when my good friend Alexandre mentioned to me that there was a nearby pet shop who had a dog for sale in their window very near our home. He told me Teresa would kill me if I bought her as we already had one dachshund, Peanut, who was challenging enough, but he told me and that was enough to send me there!
It was love at first site, I saw her and I believe she was bought instantly!
Of course when I brought her home, Teresa wanted me to return her... that lasted a short time, maybe an hour or two and then, naturally, she fell in love with her too.
Our late Peanut, pictured here, fell in love and they were together for almost 6 years before his untimely passing in 2007.
