Barney the Shih Tzu

[Lady D]

love the pup, ladyd. glad you get to keep him.
i haven't seen my dogs in a week, mr. aggb wouldn't let them inside earlier. now, he's at work, i'm letting 'em in.:roll:

Why wouldn't he let them in? I know of a puppy that all of a sudden came down very sick last week and was put on a antibiotic and was given a shot. The poor thing had a fever of a 104 and was not better after a few days and was taken back to the vet due to him hurting in his neck and back. It turned out a tick had bitten him and made him sick. So he was given a different shot and antibiotic and was better a couple of days after that. So be careful about them being outside much.

This makes me so happy that Barney is able to spend the long weekend with you! Barney is precious and so are you! Who know's hubby may change his mind once Barney has a long weekend to charm him.

It makes me happy also. He is such a great dog. Everyone would have gotten a laugh out of him yesterday, I had him outside walking him around the front yard. We came back down by the side porch and he saw a chipmunk and started after it and came to a sudden halt and jumped backwards. I said to him you aren't scared of that chipmunk are you Barney? He started barking and kept jumping backwards. He was barking at our concrete hippo that we have in front of our azaleas. It's mouth is wide open and it's huge teeth are showing. It is bigger than he is. He never got closer than about two inches away from it, even with me showing him it was not real.

Dogs are so cute when they are scared or surprised at something. Mr. JR came in from a bike ride once and still had on his helmet. It's one of those elongated helmets. Rudy saw him and freaked! Barked & stanced Mr. JR. Once the helmet was removed, he finally relaxed.

Her name is Dotty! She's a doll

How cute! And oh my gosh, the one in the 4th picture looks a lot like Barney, color and all. He is taking a siesta in my floor right next to the computer. I actually think he was looking for my husband earlier.

Barney is precious and his coloring is the same as my Dotty's.

Dotty was the best mother, breeder and companion. She is retired from motherhood, but she made the most beautiful babies!!! Her stud Rocky is retired too and together they made a wonderful pair. So in love those two!!!

the furbabies!

This is Rocky as puppy.

we pay too much $ for anti flea/tick/mosquito medication, i hope they don't have any ticks.

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.
