We had to have Sammi put to sleep in August 2006. She had been diagnosed with Cushing's disease a few years ago but was still relatively healthy. One night, she woke up from a nap and had trouble walking straight. A trip to the emergency vet clinic left us with the news she might have a brain tumor. She spent hours and hours circling in one direction and trying to walk. Tests by the vet showed she was also in kidney failure so it was time to let her go.

Sammi had been purchased from a pet store and was born in Nebraska so there isn't much doubt she was a puppy mill dog. She did not not meet the Shih Tzu breed standard at all but she was a total sweetheart. I really miss my little Pupperoni addict very much and always will. I love you, Samantha.
