Just Shih Tzu Chillin Lately

Hello all,

Well this Shih Tzu hasn't been doing much since the last post. It has been pretty much just snow about every 5 days, so I have just been kind of hanging inside the house, going outside when I need to and taking a few rides with mom and pop. We haven't been much above freezing for about 5 weeks now, but I think after tomorrow's minor storm( 1"-3") we are going to warm up some. I haven't seen the grass in the back yard since Dec 19th. We still have about 15" of sow in the back yard so I have to just walk on the trails that pop build which are frozen solid. I can stay outside for about 4-5 minutes before my paws start to hurt. When that happens, pop picks me up and carries me inside because he knows that I am not smart enough to figure out what is happening. He doesn't want me to get frostbite. I just kind of stop moving and lift my back paw when that happens, but pop stays outside with me the whole time and will not let me out of his sight. I am looking forward to some warmer weather so I can chase the squirrels that seem to own the back yard right now. Once it gets nicer out,

I will rule again!

We went out for a ride tonight and stopped at Starbucks drive thru so mom could get an ice tea. Pop always rolls the window down so I can act real cute and hopefully get a biscuit from the guy that gives the drink out. Tonight he saw me and said I was really good tonight because I didn't growl or bark. If you remember from my earlier posts that I was really getting on them since they spoiled me a while back by always having a biscuit, then they went a few times without having any and I was really letting them have it.

What I can't figure out is why when Mom goes to another place, I guess it is a bank, she stops at the machine in the drive thru and there is no one to give me a biscuit. I don't get it, how does she get stuff from the machine with no one there? What a confusing world for a Shih Tzu.

Anyway, Have to go now - Bye All

Enough Snow - OK?

Hello All,

Sorry once again that it has taken so long to post to my blog. I have an issue with my typist, seems like he is just a little too busy for me at times. I am going to have to have a serious talk with him to see if he still really wants this job.

I mean, does it look like there has been that much snow that he has to spend most of his time shoveling? Just because we have added another mountain top in Colorado in my front yard. At least it is called Sully's Peak. I figure this glacier will be there until, lets see, June?. Global warming? Where is the global warming at?

Anyway, the back yard is just as bad, so where do I do my business? At least mom knows that the old adage that it runs downhill is true. After the first snow storm on Dec 20th, 21st (big blizzard), some of it actually melted before we had our second snow storm(blizzard 7 days later) I was able to climb up the hill in the back and went to my favorite place (been very confusing lately because I can't get the scent of where I have been) anyway, as I was saying I went up the hill and did my thing. The next thing I know is that I feel good and mom is calling pop at work and said, Guess what, it really does roll downhill. Get the point?

Oh and we had another snowstorm last Friday, lets see 3 snow storms in 3 weeks. And it looks like another one coming this Thursday and Friday. What is this, the North Pole? Anartica? So far we have had 50" of snow at our house since Dec 20th. Not complaining, just stating the facts.

Here is a tip for those of you that have pets in cold climates like this. If they can't do their business, give them a dab of vaseline in the back part, that will help us. It gets so cold outside sometimes that it starts to go then can't. I hate to have to write about this, but if it helps out, I am happy about that.

I haven't been eating too good since my sister Chanel (poodle) left and went to Reno to join Coco ( another poodle and real sisters). But mom got really smart one day and told the vet and she suggested a meal of rice and boiled hamburger. Wow, that was the ticket, I really like that stuff and now I eat much better than I did. That is another hint if you have a Shih_Tzu that is as stubborn as me. I like to be spoon fed at times.

Ok, I am going to leave now

Bye all
