Our 14 year old Shih Tzu, Molly, died in December. Rhonda's birthday was a couple of days ago, so we got this adorable little 11 week old bugger for her birthday. Now we have the joy of potty training.

That's a pretty little thing.
My wife has Pekingeses, pretty close to same, before you know it they take over the place, and whip into shape any big dog you have....

I was traveling down the highway through Indiana and kept seeing signs for a roadside zoo, showing that it was getting progressively closer. I finally approached the exit for the zoo and on the spur of the moment, decided to check it out. I paid my $5.00 entrance fee and then walked through the small zoo, full of dilapidated, empty cages and small, overgrown, empty pens. I finally stood before the only occupied cage, in the entire zoo, that held one small dog. It was a Shih Tzu.

Awesome! We have a shitzu toy poodle we got last year. She is actually a really cool kick dog! She loves the garage and beaver trimmings just like her brother!

Sorry for the loss of Molly.Losing a loved pet is tough.Looks like you have a real cutie there though.

I hate when people say “no more!” After they lose a beloved pet. The best thing you can do is give love and devotion to another pet in need of a home. After losing four last year, I’m sure glad I took that stray in…

We are auditioning 2, 3/4 Kangal, 1/4 Great Pyrenees female pups for house dogs. We lost Eli, who was 17, back in December. The puppies' uncle, Sherman, will be 14 in June. Sherman is still in good shape, but it is starting to sleep most of the time and is not as alert as when he was younger. Sherman is 6' 3" on his back legs. When you knock on our side door, Sherman stands up, barks and pulls down the polar fleece on velcro, covering the window. It's like having a werewolf looking at you through the window in the door. Sherman weighs more than most adult men. Nobody stays on our porch and most people go back to their cars. Sherman lays against the door when I'm outside.
The puppies' father, Thor, is in our front barn during the day. He's 6' 6" on his back legs. He does a good job protecting the farm. I think the puppies will be well over 150 pounds when full grown.
We sell a lot from here, so it's nice to have large protective dogs in the house.

Guess it depends. I lost my hound almost a year ago, to the most horrific circumstances imaginable.
Stray showed up in October on death's door, I nursed it back to health, and it's living here, but I feel resentment towards it more than anything else.
I'm glad I helped it survive but that's as far as it goes. Wish it would go back to wherever it came from.

I think you should get a new dog every 6 to 8 years, that way the older dogs can help train the young ones. It also helps to soften the inevitable loss of the old dogs.

Our last 3 dogs have been Shih Tzus. We have one left. He got infection in his left eye and ended up losing the eye. He still does fine with one eye. They are a special breed and easy to house train.
