tichka (pronounced tishka), my baby girl, and i found each other in ouarzazate, morocco in the summer of 2002. i was there working on a film. i remember my exact words as i noticed an animal lying on the steps of my hotel. as i got closer and realized what this little creature was i squealed, “IT’S A PUPPYYYYYYYYY!!!!”. the moment i…
Sharon Edery - Such a great tribute and story on Tichka (on a side note Movie shoots DO have amazing food) I love the photo of her UP the tree and the one of her turning around and smiled reading about all her little antics especially the nickname depresso! My Angel Lexus must have decended from Mafia because she always expected ‘an end’ when food was around and had the name Lex-a-con because she was a professional at connig you when food was concerned. Dexter on the other hand could not care less if he eats and has slept through dinner more than once, he does how ever have a week spot for cakes – go figure!

Judy - Awesome story and photos!
Ali - She is beautiful, and such eyes of woe. We have Peanut a Boston Harrier rescue (Boston Terrier with Cairn) and Daisy a Jackweiner rescue (Dachshund with Jack Russel). Daisy was a street dog and you’d swear we never fed her with how she acts around food.

Rosslyn Picton - Hi Marcia,
I used to work for Arlene and Robert “Under One Ruff”, and often ran into you, Tichka and LD at the TTC lot. I really enjoyed reading how you and Tichka found each other. What a beautiful story. The pics of her are just gorgeous!!!!
France - Tichka is the luckiest dog ever to have you as a mom. She is pretty special indeed, beautiful, smart and so very fast! xox
Lesley - Don’t forget Tichka’s long lost brother Harry! A Toronto street dog who looks like family.. those stray DNA do travel, albeit with a little hound-dog added in!
Kristal - Speaking as one of Tichka’s aunties, I can confirm that she is one of the loveliest, smartest dogs I’ve ever had the privilege to know. Her mom ain’t so bad either! (-:
melissa - awww!! You know I swear street “mongrels” are the most intelligent dogs! They have to survive conditions house pets couldn’t dream of…something about the mixed up DNA must also account for a certain resourcefulness too. I met quite a few recently in Trinidad…wish I could have brought one home.
Renee deVilliers - Hey Marcia, it is so nice to hear the whole story! Very beautiful. Renee
