Christmas Night Shih Tzu Bath

Hello and Merry Christmas again,
What a day so far for this Shih Tzu.It was about time for my bath tonight and pop took me outside to do my business before I get my bath. There is alot of snow outside, probably still about 15" and pop built alot of trails as I stated before.
He went inside after I did my business, I usually stay out for a few minutes just to bug him. He was getting my bath ready, towels,shampoo etc, then he came back out about 3 minutes later and was calling for me. I didn't answer. He kept calling me and calling me, still no answer. I heard him go into the house and he said to mom, he couldn't find me. He got a flashlight and then came back out to look again. Still no answer, now I can tell he is getting very nervous because at least I usually make a movement and my dog tags rattle and he can hear me. He then starts calling a little louder just in case I am in defiance because he thinks I am aware I am getting a bath and I like to play hard to get. Still no answer from me. Now here is where his brilliance as a legendary tracker sets in. He starts going into the snow that has not been touched, no tracks, not even any clue of me being in that area. He starts moving snow, calling for me thinking I might have had the snow cave in around me. Still he can't see me. Then the light bulb comes on, he logically deducts that if he sees no tracks, I must not be in the snow. The last time I checked, I couldn't fly and now he is starting to figure it out. Hey pop, try the dog house, maybe you will find me, but since you were calling my name louder than usual, I am not going to answer, I think I am in trouble. Remember yesterday when you were getting excited watching the Broncos win and you would get excited when they made a great play and I would think you were yelling at me? Keep your cool dude! Remember, it is all about me, ok? Anyway, Guess what, he finally checks the dog house by the back door and of course I am in there curled up. It is warm there. Once again, I am amazed at how sharp he is lately. He and mom taught me what the dog house was and it isn't like this is the first time I have gone there. Anyway, it was really interesting around here for about 10 minutes.

I still had to have my bath.

All is ok now, this house is just hilarious sometimes(most of the time).

I have to go now and see what else happens tonight.

Bye

More Pics from Christmas - Sully Shih Tzu

Merry Christmas,

I had trouble putting on these images on my last post, so I thought I would put them on this one. I just got back from sledding with pop also. I went down the hill 2 times, pop 4 times, and the people there couldn't believe there was a Shih Tzu going down the hill. Pop told them, I love it (and I do) that I was a cool dog. Nothing like going down the hill and pop carrying me up the hill. Once again, I do no work and get all the fun. Pop isn't real bright sometimes,but I love him.





Bye for now

Sully's Christmas

Hello, Merry Christmas
Wow, what a day so far. It started last night when mom and pop spread a big sheet out in the TV room and gave me a big juicy bone. I have a pic of the bone from today. What a treat that was. I was ok for about 10 minutes, but then I had to think about where I was going to hide the bone and I didn't know I wasn't allowed to take it off the sheet. I guess it was just too juicy to get on the rugs. After a few attempts, mom put the sheet in her lap and let me chew on the bone for about 1/2 hour. That was nice. Then the bone was put up on the counter, I was full, so it could dry out. Today, I get to take it around the house, and I can hide it. The problem is, I worry too much about who is going to take the bone from me, so I am constantly moving it around. I guess I just don't understand that mom and pop don't want the bone, so I am not sure why I must hide it all the time. Must be instinct. I know they don't want it hidden in the house and sometimes, I can't find it, so I know they did and it goes away. Bummer.


What is this? Presents? I got 2 stockings, one with toys and the other with some cookies. Man, this is a really cool day for me. I have put the pictures on here to share with you.
Pop says we are going to take a couple runs down the hill today with the sled. We had about 2" of fresh snow last night(makes about 35" for the week) and it is beautiful out today. Can't wait for that. It is fun going down the hill in the sled with pop. He is crazy for an old man.
I know he sure loves to have fun and has never forgot what it was like to be a kid.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Wow- Too Much Snow

Wow, I am sure everyone has seen the news and how much snow we had in this area the last 2 days. These are some of the pictures of the back yard and the tunnels that pop dug for me so I could do my business. I am not used to having walls like this to deal with. I get confused and try to dig into them, but all I get is more snow. Will this ever melt? Pop says this happened about 10 years ago and it melted in about 2 months. Wow, that sucks, I bet he digs more paths for me before the winter is over.


We had 33 inches of snow the last 2 days. That is almost 3 times my height. I have to watch out for icicles now from the roof when I go out, Don't want one of those to fall and pierce me like a knife. Pop needs to do a lot of work around here for my safety.



These tunnels are kind of neat, because before pop got home I had to run around in about 7" of snow and I get real wet and cold when that happens. You can see how high the snow is next to me.


I think I lost my way on this one. Need to take a left. I didn't know pop took this pic.

Anyway, I just wanted to share these pics with everyone so you can see what I have been up to the last few days. All my best to all the people stranded here at the airport and hopefully everyone got home Wed and Thursday night if they were stranded.

Bye for now

Holiday Lights & NBA Crap

Hello.

Last Saturday night, Dec. 9th, I got to go to Denver with Mom and Pop to see the capitol buidling all lit up. It was really cool for me, because the lights are so beautiful that it draws a lot of people out to see them. You know what that means to me. I get to bark at lots of people. Now when I bark and my tail wags, I am just trying to say hi to everyone, but I know that sometimes I sound very ferocious for a 10 lb dog and it really scares some people. At least I think it does (feed my ego, ok?). Well there were lots of people, the lines to turn into the capitol to see the lights head on were about 20 minutes long. We decided to take a quick drive by look and then head back to the hood we live in. It turned out good for me because I got to bark at a lot of people,one on one, walking their dogs. Actually 2 times I flew from the back seat to the front seat because I got all fired up with some of the big dogs walking. I don't know if you know it, but I am pretty tough behind the protection of the glass windows in the car. I can take on any 50 - 100 lb dog. Just try me.

Now for this week:

Saturday night my pop was watching the Denver Nuggets, Knicks game and at the end of it there was a big fight. Now I don't mind a fight once in a while and it is going to happen, but when it comes time for the punishments to get doled out, I expect it to be fair.
Yes, our guy shouldn't have thrown a punch, he got what he deserved, but I don't get why the punk coach of the Knicks doesn't get any type of discipline. The way I see it, if he wouldn't have had his idiot grab J.R. and throw him to the floor in a meaningless layup, none of this crap would have happened. Hey NBA, where is the penalty for that punk Bad Boy Thomas. I don't get it. David, where is the accountability? Do you condone what he said to Carmelo? If I am not mistaken, you can read his lips, he said it. By the way, why is it that Carmelo has got the crap kick out of him time and again when he plays under the boards and takes shots and very seldom he goes to the line?
Anyway, my pop says it will be hard for him to watch the NBA anymore and that means I don't get to lay on the bed with him when he does watch a game in the bedroom which I enjoy doing. Thanks David, that sucks.

Good night

Car Wash

Hello again,

I had the experience of a lifetime. Now us Shih Tzu's are pretty cool most of the time,but I went thru my first car wash on Tuesday night. It was ok at first, I just barked at the pre rinse, but when the helicopters (it sounded like it) landed on the roof of the car, I actually sprouted wings and went from the back seat to the front seat without touching any solid surface. What was that? I thought we were under attack. Anyway it took about 5 minutes to calm down, then we went thru the dryer. I was a little nervous at first about that, but I could at least see out the front window. Couldn't do that while in the wash with all the soap on the windshield.
I also got a haircut last Friday and it finally warmed up here. It is going to be 60 today. Makes it nice to go on walks with pop.
That is all for now

Bye

December 1st

Hello again,

It is hard to believe that it is already December. It has been cold here lately. We had some snow and it got down to -2 degrees Wednesday morning. I like the snow and cold as you can tell from the video on my website.

I have really been giving it to the Starbucks drive thru personnel lately because they don't have a dog biscuit for me. The first couple times I just growled at them but last night I really chewed them out. They said that they would make sure the next time I came back they would have a biscuit for me. Now I am going to go a couple of days without stopping by and then see if they hold true. They are really nice, I don't expect a biscuit, but they spoiled me for a long time by always having one. What am I to expect????

Got a haircut today and cleaned up some, It feels good to be groomed and I know when I am groomed and clean that the ladies really like me. I can't help it that I am adorable and humble too. (It runs in the family)

I will keep in touch

Later
