Ali
Ali - like in Aligator - is the snappish one. Satisfied by his quite loud bark he is snapping and jumping around like a rubber ball. Mostly in a playful fashion.
Like Bonnie and Clyde he too enjoys playing catch with stuffed toys. Judging from his barks he wouldn't mind if he could play catch with me - which we did. But that attracked all the others too so I was running and five barking dogs were chasing me.
His new Fila brothers are Alis favourite toy now. In contrast to playing with his Maltese siblings he does not have to be careful with Bellissimo and Bellissario. Even though the Filas are quite careful with him it sometimes looks scary.
Recently Ali has received surgery. His spleen was completely removed due to an unidentified object growing in it. Post surgery studies of the tissue did not reveal anything malign however the 'thing' could have ruptured and severely injured or even killed Ali if not removed. Since the spleen is a reservoir for blood it took Ali some time to recover however he is back. And he does not seem to suffer any problems at all. It seems now that he lost some weight he can jump around more intense...
