I like to introduce our new puppy a Shih Tzu named Heidi,9 weeks old yesterday,born August 16th same day as my Grandmother(Mom's Mother)We got her last Sunday,found an ad on line and we went to look at them.There were originally 5,four when we got there, their tails were going when we saw them.The parents were there,they are purebreds and are registered,they were friendly,they both kissed and licked me and sat beside me.Heidi took a shine to Mom and I cuddle in mom's coat and on my lap.Had a sleepless night to start,she cried when we put her in the cage,brought it upstairs ot my room,cried again,mom took her to her room,then brought her back,cried again and pooped in it,took the bed out and put her back,she cried tried a transistor radio,it helped some,around 5, she was crying and took her then brought her back to my bed.We have a radio going in the laundry room to help,she cries a bit now,but soon quiets down,hears me get up in the morning sand I go and get her to take her out,wags her tail bring her in and she has a play then eats,brings food from the dish to the living room,does this several times.She likes nipping at my feet and fingers, a phase she is going through.She has a couple of stuffies she plays with including the Monkey that was Fritz's,a Kong and a toy shaped like a bone and a ball.Have a harness for her to walk with,doesn't fit yet,tried a collar for that,wasn't ready to go just yet.Eats twice a day,plays then snoozes,likes under the coffee table,snores a lot to,did that this morning.At night she is usually close to me,is here right now.
