Welcome to my jungle!
Hi family! Since leaving husband, I found myself, for the first time in my life, without a canine companion. I brought my Bengal cat, Jake with me, but still, something was missing. Well, I found an awesome local breeder of Shih Tzu puppies yesterday, after searching the past week or so. I was so impressed with her honesty, integrity and love of the breed, that, well, we now have a new family member!!!
She is just too sweet for words. I knew I loved the breed as my parents and my sister have had them for years. But, wow! Talk about love at first sight, or was it first lick, or first smell of that lovely puppy breath??
Anyways, our first night went without a hitch, she slept either on my chest or next to me all night long. She is starting to go to the door when she needs to "use the facilities" already which I find amazing for an 11 week old pup!
I miss my Boxer terribly, but she had to go back to the breeder as we were her foster home and she had major complications with a lost pregnancy. But she will live out her days, spayed, being spoiled by the breeder's daughter, so I am very happy about that.
There is something pretty special about this Shih Tzu breed. I have been around them for many years and have always felt that way. Heck, it's probably just me, but I swear they can REALLY understand me. Odd, I know! But she just looks into my eyes and stares and I swear she gets what I am thinking.
Not absoluety sure of what I will name her, she came with the name of Chelsea, but my sister's cat is named that. Thinking of Mischa. Oldest daughter likes the name Piper.
Anyone with any ideas, maybe Chinese of origin??
Just sharing our news!!
Hugs,
Vickie
