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
