Barney the Shih Tzu

aw, Barney is adorable. My Rudy has that very same green toy and he loves it!

LadyD, you could always do what I did when I adopted Rudy as a pup... I just didn't ask my husband. I just brought him home from the pound. Mr. JR almost had a seisure after he found out that Rudy wasn't just visiting. :funn: He was so PO'd, for days, weeks. It was hard watching a grown man pout. :roll: But he finally got over it. Now, 9 years later, he loves Rudy almost more than anything in the world, I think. They are inseparable.

It can happen, LadyD.

Good luck and enjoy Barney!

OMG I too have done this many times...sneaky, but it works!!

Stand your ground Lady D...Shih Tzus (pronouced Sheed Zues) are the most loyal dogs I've ever encountered. I was breeding for a while then my daughter took over when my Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia reared their nasty heads!!!

Here's some of our furbabies.

Those puppies are just too cute. Hope you outgrow your fatique. It is such a bothersome illness. Your darlings should help you feel better.

All the dogs are adorable. I just wish the one my Mom has was sweet and lovable. He needs a visit with the Dog Whisperer.

I will believe it when I see it!

Barney needs a dog trainer. I found some chewed up wood fragments in the kitchen. I think it is from a wooden shim. :roll: It was nothing furniture wise. But I discovered the source, in our kitchen we have cloth pull down blinds as old as the hills with wood slats sewn in between the layers, very warm for the house in the winter, he managed to shred the edge of the one blind facing the front yard along with four of the wood slats inside, but just the edges. Luckily, Home Depot still sells something similar so we can replace it. Might just replace all 4 that are in the kitchen. But that is no big deal as that is all he did. Unfortunately, Barney is going home this evening. His mini vacation with us is almost over. He has totally won my husband over, he won me over two to three months ago. We are going to miss the little fella, but luckily now I can bring him home with me after work until time to take him home before my son gets home from work. He has had a bath now and is all clean.
