Likes:
Being right under my feet! She is a wonderful companion. Oh yeah...she also likes the green tomatoes that my boys got out of our garden and squashed on our driveway. She goes nuts when she finds a part of one and I have to take it out of her mouth.

Pet-Peeves:
Definetly being left alone.

Favorite Toy:
Her little stuffed monkey

Favorite Food:
Not sure...we have been trying to not feed her table food. Obviously she loves her green tomatoes from our garden! LOL

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere there are children playing.

Best Tricks:
We've only accomplished "sit" but she starts Puppy Preschool this week so we'll see. She picked up sit in about 2 days so hopefully she is a fast learner.

Arrival Story:
I had been searching PuppyFind.com for awhile looking at shih tzus. I found a breeder in South Dakota from another website and contacted her about a puppy. She had a mom who is due Nov 5th so I put down a deposit for one of those pups. The other day, my 5 1/2 year old was on the computer and told me to come look at the puppies he just found. I walked over and noticed that he was on a PuppyFind page and there was the cutest little "liver" girl at the top. He told me he liked her more than the others on the page. As I looked down the page, I realized that this was my breeder whom I had placed a deposit with! I have no idea how my son found her exact page since I didn't even know she was on that site and I didn't have that site bookmarked on my computer! This was a 14 week old little girl whom she bought to breed but realized she was going to be too small to do so and wanted to find her a good home. She didn't tell me about her because I told her I wasn't ready for a pup right now and wanted to wait until after the new year. Well, after talking to the breeder about her and seeing more pics, I was in love and the rest is history! She was definetly meant to be ours :)

Bio:
We live in Annapolis, MD and I can't wait until spring so we can take her down to the city docks and show her off. Everyone brings their dogs there--especially on Friday nights.
