Quick Bio:

Likes:
Toys!! - she'll play fetch all day long. Burrowing under blankets or bed covers. She loves men!

Pet-Peeves:
Being treated like a dog (she thinks she's human). Other dogs taking her toys. Balloons - oh, does she hate balloons!!. Being left behind. When Eddie humps her. Oh, and did I mention she hates balloons!?

Favorite Toy:
Dog toys, cat toys, kid toys....it doesn't matter! She's neurotic about the toys! She will play fetch with anything - socks, stuffing from a pillow...

Favorite Food:
Anything with Peanut butter in/on it.

Best Tricks:
When we go outside to potty and she'd rather play, she will fake pee...she will pretend that she's going by squatting for a millisecond.

Arrival Story:
I adopted her from a dachshund rescue when she was 2. She was an owner surrender, although I can't imagine why anyone would give her up. She was skin and bones when I got her. You could see all her ribs and bones in her spine. She's still pretty skinny, but at least she's healthy.

Bio:
Sydney is quiet the character! When she wants attention (like when you tell her "no toy"), she very dramatically throws herself against your chest and puts her little paws in the air. It's so funny but so pathetic! She's my little drama queen :) If you are interested in adopting a rescued dachshund, please visit DARE's (Dachshund Adoption Rescue & Education) website at www.daretorescue.com. Hard to believe but I really don't dress her up. I used to put things on her just to take a picture, but I don't make her wear these outfits around.
