Just in case y'all forgot how cute she is.
Is that a Shi(t) Zu!

Yes she is. FFF likes to call her a Shi!ezoo. The paper weight on your desk must be one of the Imperial Shih Tzu. Sweetie is just plain old standard size, she weighs about 12 pounds.

If my roommate didn't have a dog, my new sandals would not be chewed up! I love the little girl, Daisy, chiwawa (sp???), stick dog.

Ok, I have to join this post. This touches a nerve. I have friends that have had cats and dog. They get tired of them and take them to the LB.
Drive me nuts.
I dont have any pics here at work (yeah busy day) but we have a long rap sheet.
I started out about 13 years ago when my best friends wife decided she didnt like the cat anymore. She was about 14-15 weeks old. They were taking her away so I grabbed her. My dog had just died and my bird needed some entertainment. Did not know
cats like to spray their new environment at the time but Im very familiar with the process now
. 13 years later she is still going strong and keeping the younger cats in line.
Next the Boxer breeder is going out of business and have a timid 7 month old that needs a home. I had to pay for her but shes the most incredible boxer I ever met. FYI (when your not looking Boxers eat furniture). Shes now 12 and no longer eats wood.
Now as if 2 pets wasnt enough :shock: I was eating dinner in outback one day and this little UGLY puppy run in the joint.
Comes right over to me and looks up. :angry: I set my beer down and asked her what she wanted. She wanted a home. :roll: She got. The ULGY duckling grew in to a beautiful swan. Long hair, looks like a cross between a lab and something. She is pretty and sweet. She is 12 and still drive us nuts. She sheds like you have never seen. My wife and I found a birds nest in the bushes made out of her hair and leaves. Lot of her hair.
There have been times when I wanted to kick her to the curb(last night when she knocked my drink off the table pushing the other dog out of the way just to get her share of attention). But I figure the cats like her so I keep her around.
But if the cats say the word I have to give her walking papers.
Then I got married to 2 more cats, oh yeah my wife came with them. She has a much more gently way with them so they were scared of me. My cat thinks shes a dog. I never had a cat and like to be a little rough with my dog so needless to say my cat acts, attacks, plays, and begs like a dog the dogs do. So when my wifes cats moved in my dogs were cat friendly. They had always seen a cat around so why not another. BUT MY CAT had not 
seen many of her type and I never saw her checking herself out in a mirror. ;-) So when she saw them she attacked. Then the subdividing gates when up. Nice now I have to open little gate just to go to a different room, love it. :angry: Wife didnt like the dogs upstairs and the cats and cat/dog didnt get along.
Since then we have become a happy united family. (2 yrs later)
Now back to her cat the she rescued from the LB. that didnt care for me. I put her up in the attic and didnt feed her for a month so she learned to live with the squirrels. She ate nuts and ran around in the attic for about a year driving the other animals in the house crazy.
Just kidding, just trying to get your attention after this long boring story.
I really took every opportunity to grab her every time she passed me until she stopped hissing at me.
Eventually she just gave in and let me pick her up(she is de clawed thank got, it would have been ugly) knowing eventfully after all the hugging and kissing I would put her down and let her go about her business. :shock: Of course, until she had to walk by me again.
She really makes it a point to walk by me now and greet me at the top of the stairs when I get home from work. I do feel that I have broken her will and almost have her convinced she likes me and want to see me.
Last on the list is the creature you see in the tar. She still doesn?t like me. She think Im a little nuts and steers clear. Every once and a while she gets a little close and suffers the Consequences but I will break her. One day soon she will realize that I am the alfa cat/dog whatever, and without me she would be up in the attic with the others. kidding, there are no domestic animals living in my attic.
In between all this I rescued another boxer that did have heartworms. I was only fostering her. Took about 3 months to get rid of the heartworms, and about 1000.00 bucks but I found her a nice home in Hilton head on the beach. That one lives better than I do now.
Thats my animal story and no I cant take any more pets.
No really, there is not more room in the attic.
Sorry about the long story but it had to be told. All names were withheld to protect the innocent.
Drive me nuts.

JT, I think I love you!!!!! That was a wonderful, wonderful story!!!!!! The animals around you are very, very lucky my friend. Watch out though, I know from experience that rescued animals somehow tell other animals that need rescuing and by some miracle they find their way to your house.
