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
