Happy New Years from Sully and Buddy

Hello and Happy New Years Eve.

This has been a crazy year for me. I lost a Sister ( Chanel) and gained a brother ( Buddy).

I have been teaching Buddy the ropes around here for 9 months now and he is really starting to learn how to get his way with Mom and Pop. I am the master of this technique, probably because I am so cute and lovable. I can't wait for this Friday when the weather is supposed to get back to normal. I will take the 50's with the sun and then we can start going on our walks again. Even with the last few weeks, it is much better than last year with the blizzard and 7 Friday's in a row with snow.

This is the scene from yesterday and today around here and also we were looking at the squirrel outside the yard. That really gets us going when Charlie ( the squirrel) starts infringing on our yard.






Happy New Year

Sully Shih Tzu After the 3rd Snow in a Week

Hello again,

We have now had our 3rd snow in a week. Last Friday, Christmas Day and Thursday,

Now our back yard looks like this

We love it, because it is usually so nice here. No complaints, well except when we want to do our business.

Sully Shih Tzu Christmas 2007

Hello again,

This was our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
As you can see from the pictures that Christmas Eve started out very serene. Nice pictures of the Front Range in the morning and then a nice sunset in the eve of Christmas with a weather forecast of cold and only a few flurries.
Then we had Christmas morning and we got our presents. Buddy was at the Humane Society as his previous owners had dropped him off there a few days before Christmas and the poor guy got neutered on Christmas Day. This was a much better Christmas for him.
Then, we had the few snow flurries that totaled 10". Wow, did they miss that one.
Oh well, we had a White Christmas, only the 14th one in the last 100 years. It also wasn't as bad as last year when we had the big blizzard which you can see the results on that in the archives of this blog.













Hopefully everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Bye for now

Sully Shih Tzu Dec 23rd 2007

Hello everyone,

Again, it has taken me a while to write and let you know what is happening. We have been very busy during the holiday season and just haven't taken the time to keep up to date. It is starting to wind down now and we are starting to get cabin fever. We have had alot of cold snowy weather in the last few weeks but it looks like it will start warming up this coming week. Good, Pop can take us out for a walk again. All we have been doing is sleeping lately. Sometimes we wrestle. I have some pics of Dec 23rd in the morning. I was looking for buried treasures in the snow ( I hide stuff from Buddy, but then I don't realize that I might not find it if it snows. I was looking for the treats and after about 10 minutes I found them. Also, some pics of the mountains that morning before our Christmas day snow.

Sully Shih Tzu and Buddy Wish You a Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving,

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

It is cold here today. Finally feels like winter may be coming around. It was 9 degrees last night.
We sure had a good Thanksgiving dinner today. Mom and Pop always include Buddy and Me in the festivities.

We went on walks, ate alot of food and took naps today.
Well, I didn't go on the first walk because as you can see on the thermometer that it was about 22 degrees. Pop took Buddy ( Nickname now is Zamboni - He is built like a Zamboni Machine ) because he can handle a little bit of cold and I don't really like to be in it for very long.

I watched them leave the house and waited for them to come back. They made it just fine so I decided to be a little tougher and I went with them on the second walk about 3pm. It was 28 degrees, but I have been on walks where it was 45 degrees and felt like below zero. There was no wind and the sun was out so it felt really good.

After we walk in the brisk cold, we always take a nap.

Below are pictures of today.

See Ya Later and Have a Happy Holiday Season.

Views from One of Our Walks

Hello,
Just got back from a walk and we wanted to show you some of the views that we see on our walks.


This is a view we get when we are at the top of the trail. The mountains are really
cool especially when they get some snow on them. That is coming soon.



This is a view we get when we get to the top of the trail. We go there almost every day. Pop really likes this view of the city.



We will take some more soon.

Sully Shih Tzu in October

Hello Again,

Here we are on a beautiful 86 degree Saturday afternoon watching Mom and Pop trimming some trees because it looks like summer is over and they want to get ready for any storms that we have. Did I mention that today was 86 degrees? Sunday's high temp is to be 58 degrees and possibly a little snow flurry here and there in the morning. That is Colorado for you. Pop must be getting smarter because he is trying to trim the trees so they don't break like they did 2 years ago.




Buddy Chilling out for a little bit


Some of the work being done



The next 5 pictures are of me as it should be.






This the work that Mom and Pop are doing. We get to watch and sometimes I supervise pop. It is so cool because I get to lay back and he and mom do the work. Ah, A Dogs Life.




Well, that pretty much what we did today. Hopefully it won't snow for a little while yet.

See you later,

Sully Shih Tzu and Pops Birthday

Hello again,

Well this clever Shih Tzu and his Brother Buddy did a really neat thing for pop today on his birthday. Pop likes to go to the batting cages allot and we usually go with him and mom and we watch him from the truck. We have car seats that lets us be up high on the back seat of the truck and we can see pop real good. Buddy and I wanted to do something really cool for him on his birthday so we got with mom and asked her how we could make some money to give to pop so he could get some more tokens and hit at the cages. Mom came up with the idea that if we did some tricks around the house and kept her amused while pop was in Chicago (lucky guy, he got to go to a Cubs game on Tuesday night)




for the week, she would give us some money to get a card and give pop some cash so we could go with him again before the cages shut down for the winter.

It was really cool, Buddy and I did allot of tricks, kept mom amused and she helped us with the b-day card. She helped us write a note to pop on how we made the money and what it was for. Pop loved the card and we will go to the cages a couple times this week before they shut down.

I am going to miss it when this winter rolls around and the batting cages are shut down. I know pop will figure out something else for us to do that will let us go out and get away for a little bit a few nights a week.

Well, I have to go now so I will write again soon.

Bye

Sully Shih Tzu and Buddy Wrestling

Hello Again,

Wanted to share some Shih Tzu pictures with Sully Shih Tzu and Buddy wrestling Sunday night. We went out for a walk and then we got to eat some really good food and now we feel so good we had to have a wrestling match. Not only that, but we ran thru the house as if it was a Nascar Race track complete with crashes into each other and also into the wall. We forget sometimes when we turn the corner at full speed going from the carpet to the tile floor that it s very slippery. Oh well, boys will be boys and it is alot of fun.





Enjoy the pics

Talk to you later

Sully Shih Tzu and Buddy in Mid September

Hello again,

Well, this Shih Tzu is noticing a weather change now that it is mid September. Seems like pop takes us for a walk almost daily now because it isn't as hot. Kind of a nip in the air in the morning and late evening walks. That must mean it is getting closer to our first snowfall. I wonder how Buddy is going to like it. When we got him, he had spent allot of time outside according to the Dumb Friends League. I know he doesn't like to get real hot, but I wonder how he likes being cold. I remember when Pop and I played football outside for about 1/2 hour in the snow a few years ago. It was so much fun. Well, I am sure we are going to find out soon.

Mom found some really good food from Royal Canin and I am really eating much better now. It is going to help me stay healthy and pop says that is important. I eat too much junk food. I guess I am just really spoiled like a lot of Shih Tzus are if their owners let them be and believe me, mom and pop really spoil me. Even Buddy has been getting in on the act lately. He watches me and then tries to get away with the same stuff. I have shown him how to be real coy and give that look to get anything he wants. You know, that poor old me stare. Works every time.

Normally we get a bath about every 3 days, but there were a few accidents around here today. Last night, pop gave us both a bath and then this morning pop took us for a walk. Buddy did his business but got some on him and pop had to give him another bath this morning when we got back. I was so worried I was going to have to get one also because usually I do after Buddy gets one. Pop said , no not today Sully, you are spared. Then, pop took me for across the street to see mom and a neighbor lady during their garage sale. There was a cute little dog and I must have expressed myself because the next thing you know, pop said I smelled like fish oil and guess what. Yep, I had to get a bath also. Pop wasn't real happy, but as always, he gave me the bath and cleaned me up. After the bath, I always have to have a long nap. I feel so clean.

That is pretty much the highlights for this week so far.

Will keep in touch.

Bye for now

Sully Shih Tzu's Brother in a Weak Moment

Hello again,

I had to share some pics with everyone of my brother who thinks at times he is a tough guy. Now does this look like he is so tough?

I really think he is a wimp even if he is 16lbs and I am only 10.4 lbs.

Sully Shih Tzu Brother Buddy - Wow - What Happened

Hello Again,

I am trying to make up for some lost time. This Shih Tzu has been so busy that everytime I promise I am going to write more, I get sidetracked. Not any more.

Here is another strange thing that happened almost exactly a week after Sully had his emergency trip to the hospital.

Buddy has really been coming around in his personality lately and has been trying to do alot of the things that Sully Cool Dog does. That is really cool to see until he does what he did.

He has been jumping on the master bed from the floor lately. He used to jump on the bench that was at the end of the bed and he was doing real well getting to the bed. He then started jumping from the floor and for the most part he was doing good also. Then came the moment.

He jumped, was just a little bit short and then it started. All of a sudden he threw up and mom and pop thought that was really wierd. Buddy thought mom and pop were upset and he jumped from the bed and pop got him outside where he threw up some more. The only problem was that this time, he seemed like he was having trouble breathing. This went on for about 10 minutes and finally mom was able to massage his throat and after about another 10 minutes, seemed like an hour, Buddy started to get back to normal breathing.

I guess that was this amounted to was the same thing as getting the wind knocked out of you. Never the less, between Buddy and me ( Sully Cool Dog ) there has been some really scary moments.

I guess that happens when you get excited and want to show off all the time like the Shih Tzu's do. We need alot of attention.

I will continue to be me all the time, which means I am sure there will be more things that are strange but funny that will be done as Buddy and I continue to be the clowns of Shih Tzu Land.

Bye for now

Sish Tzu Guarding the House

Hello Again,

There is a big Garage Sale going on across the street today and I have the Shih Tzu job of keeping an eye on everything. I can also see Mom, because she is over there helping. Pop was nice enough to take us for our second walk just a few minutes ago. Wow, that is almost 2 miles today since we went out earlier also.

Here are our Pics of Buddy and Me watching the hood again.





Ok, there you have it.

Have to go watch the yard.

Bye for a little while,

Sully Shih Tzu in August

Hello Again to Everyone,
Once again I have been a very busy Shih Tzu in the last month. There have been some pretty interesting things that happened around the Sully Shih Tzu home in August.
A couple weeks ago on a Friday night, Buddy ( my Shih Tzu brother) and I were wrestling around the house and I guess I got so stimulated that something very weird happened to me. I don't want to really explain it, but I will tell you some of the details, others you will have to just imagine.

It was about 9 pm and Buddy and I were wrestling in the front room. Pop was in the shower and mom was reading on her chair. All of a sudden, mom couldn't hear us wrestling, she thought that was strange so she called our names. Neither one of us answered, so she got up out of her chair and came to see what was going on. Well, she thought maybe I has messed on myself because it looked like some messy was hanging from my tail. As she got closer, she realized I wasn't moving and she really thought that was strange. She picked me up to take me outside and realized that I had a serious problem. I was so stimulated by the wrestling with Buddy that I ( lets just say, had all my blood in one location. Mom took me outside and then starting banging on the window for pop to come outside. Mom was holding me and when Pop say me, it looked like ( to him anyway) that I may have been attacked by a coyote, because he thought my internal organs were protruding out. I think you get the picture now of what happened. Any way, pop called the emergency animal clinic and tried to explain what had happened and that was comical in its own right. To end the story, we went to the emergency room and before we got there, I was all cured. They said that it was a good thing we still visited them because they have seen this before and the results weren't real good when it wasn't taken care of. I am so happy my mom and pop take care of me.

That was one of the crazy incidents that happened in the last month. There are a few more Shih Tzu moments and I will make another post before the day is over. I want to add some current pictures also.

I will talk to you all later

Bye for now

Love you all

Sully Shih Tzu Has Been Busy

Hello everyone,

Wow it has been a long time since Sully Shih Tzu I have posted. It has also been a very happy and also a very sad time for me.

Let start with sad.

My sister Chanel that used to live with me but went to Reno in October has passed away. I am very sad about that, she was attatcked by a dog that was a lot bigger than her and after about 8 days, she got an infection and had to be put out of her misery. She used to groom me and taught me how to be caring because she was so gentle with everyone. It just doesn't seem fair that these things happen but we little dogs have to be careful of the bigger ones. Pop won't let me out in the front yard anymore unless he checks everywhere to see if there are any dogs that I might try to greet. I get too carried away sometimes and think I am bigger than I am.

On the good side, my brother Buddy and I have been really getting along well. We slept alot during the real hot days in July when it gets to 98-101 almost daily. We have to hang out in the house alot with the Air Conditioner on until the evening, then we might wrestle a little bit and play. Now it is not quite as hot daily and we have been wrestling alot and mom found some food that we really like so our energy level is really getting high.

I have to go now, promise I wont wait as long. I know, I have promised before, but pop tells me things are in order at home, all the work he and mom have done is pretty much done now and there will be alot more time to let you know how Shih Tzu life is going.

Bye for now

Sully Cool Dog Garage Sale

Hello again,

Wow, Mom and Pop are having a garage sale and pop let me sit on his lap for a while with everyone out there. I really behaved good and didn't growl or bark at anyone ( well, except I growled at one person, but I am sure he deserved it)

Pop even let me go with him to put up the signs down the road for the sale.

Pop couldn't handle both myself and Buddy being out there so I was the lucky one. I hope that he doesn't decide to take only Buddy out there, I will get really upset if he does.

That is all I have for now, we are going to try and get some pics done later today when we are done.

Bye

Sully

Sully Cool Dog Catching Up

Hello,
I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything and with my new brother and mom and pop working around the house for the last month, I have found very little time to write.
I will tell you that my brother and I have been having alot of fun. We wrestle daily for hours at a time. We play very hard and that makes it easy to sleep at night because we are exhausted.

Buddy is starting to learn the routine around the house and is feeling very comfortable.

We did finally have our first disagreement and it was in front of pop. I guess I got a little too aggressive with Buddy and he got really mad at me for a minute. I kind of learned my lesson with him but I still like to push him to the edge. Just because he is bigger than me, doesn't really scare me, because I think I am faster than him.

Anyway, we have been having a great time and I will post some pics this week, hopefully of us playing.

Be back later

Sully Shih Tzu has a Brother

Hello everyone, I have a Shih Tzu brother now. I am getting used to him, his name is Buddy. I didn't know brothers that were new would weigh more than me or be older than me. He is 4 years old and I am almost 2. Mom was watching TV the other morning and saw my brother on 9 news and said that he was going to be my brother. Sure enough, she went to the Dumb Friends League downtown Denver and got first in line and was able to adopt him. I have pics of him here. I also included one of my pics, remember, he may be the new kid on the block and he weighs in at 16.4 and I am only 10.4, but as I see it I still rule. Pop is showing me how to share and I am starting to learn and it isn't as painful as I thought it would be. I will keep you informed as I get a little more time to write. For now, enjoy the pics, oh by the way, he is going to be groomed Monday so he will look different, we will call these the before pics.

Oh yea, Let's don't forget me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye for now
