Our newest addition to the family

[Jessie]

Atticus.



Mom's boss and his siblings bought him for their parents, who are like 80, for Christmas.  He's about six months old and way too energetic for octogenarians. 

I didn't want a foo foo dog, really, but he's pretty sweet and needed a good home.  So, now he's ours.

[Jessie]

Oh and he was named Snowball, but I felt that was far too emasculating for him.

[Infobahn]

When we adopted Walt, he was named Sugar.  WTF?

[dazie]

Digger was Walter when we got him.  Because he looked like Walter Matthau.

Do you plan on having any pets without ocular problems?

haha shut up.

[Dry then Catch]

he looks like a shih-tzu poodle.  am i right?

[Dry then Catch]

seriously though shih-tzu are the best dogs. 

some people look at my shih tzu and say "hurr I need a big manly non yipping dog".  Because they have severe insecurities.


shih tzus are hearty, intelligent, afraid of no bigger dog, but doesn't pick fights.  and are quiet unless they have a pressing matter to bring up. 


ps if that is actually a lhasa apso, I feel bad for you they suck. 

[Jessie]

He's supposedly a shihtzu. 

He didn't bark at all for hours, but then he barked quite a bit for a minute.  He has a manly bark, not a yippy bark. so that's good.

I think he just needs a better hair cut, it looks like he's adorable, under that bad hair do.  A mohawk might do him good.

yeah thats how they are.  my dog will not bark a peep for weeks, then if something is apparently pissing him off he will NOT STOP. 

also watch out for dry grass in your yard.  if he likes to roll around in it their protruding eyes may get poked. 

you really don't want to have to pay for eye surgeries then apply ointment for the rest of his life.   believe me.

I actually thought about giving him a mohawk.

my suggestion is to cut facial hair as short as possible.  it tends to get in front of their eyes.  and the snout hair will blossom like a flower in all directions

if you can think of a better way to clean a dog I'd like to hear it.

[Jessie]

That blog is hilarious.

[grace]

my neighbors have 2 shihtzu's and they are very reserved with my danes, but super curious. they run up to the fence and jackson licks his chops everytime they come out to take a piss....yummm !!

[Jessie]

Somebody somewhere wanted a picture of all of them together, so here you go.  This is about as close as they like to get.

[Gamplayerx]

Why is so much gunk coming out of his eyes?
