Suki's Earlier Days


Suki romping last December with the Teitelman Family who fostered her for a half year. The two other dogs who were Suki's companions are Tinka and Kroovi.

Suki is a golden retreiver and was born on December 15th, 2007 at the kennels in Kibbutz Afikim. She was then purchased by Beit Oved, together with Sunny (Moshe's Labrador retreiver) and several other puppies. After that she was in a home of a woman whom I don't know for six months, and in August of 2008 she was moved to the home of the Teitelman family - Ayelet, Nurit, Neta, and Nir in Tel Aviv. She remained with them until February of 2009 and was then returend to Beit Oved for her final training period.

The Teitelmans gave Suki a warm, loving foster home and she was rainsed together with two other dogs - Tinka and Kroovi - a fact that no doubt explains her rapid adaptation to my three-dog home! Suki passed the guide dog course with flying colors and I hope the exciting evening in which they were reunited with Suki and met me, her new owner, was as rewarding for them as it was for me.

Pictures of Suki a year ago reveal her as a frisky, beautiful white-colored golden retreiver. The family marveled at how much slimmer Suki looked - they were accustomed to her being a bit more roly-poly, as you can see in the pictures sent to me by Nurit.
