I "inherited" my late father's two Shih Tzus about a month ago.

32. I had a toy poodle when I was in high school - my aunt was a breeder.

He always had a simple cut - my father did it. He was not the least bit a "fancy" dog.

He loved to ride in the boat, standing in the bow with his ears blowing behind him. If held just right, he would put his front paws together and waive them up and down as if in prayer. If he thought someone was threatening me, he would become a big dog and attack.

If we had the money we've spent on vet bills over the years, we would be quite comfortable. Nevertheless, I regret no money spent on the fuzzy babies.
