I was looking on Craigslist and I had actually seen an add about a Shih Tzu, that's why I was calling. The lady informed me of the conditions in which she found the 11 month old Shih Tzu (kenneled all its life...) and playing in its own feces.
So she was taking the little girl to a trainer. She then told me of the six week old Maltese and Shih Tzu mix puppies she has rescued. It was all over right there for me. I always thought Maltese dogs were the cutest, and I thought to myself, mixed with a Shih Tzu, she has to be gorgeous. I drove 1 hour and a half from my home in Concord, NC to Lancaster, SC; to get her. It was love at first sight with me and my daughter (2 years old) when we seen her.
Now here we are, we've had her for 3 days now and I am in love with her even more. She goes with us everywhere and even managed to make her way into my bed. Who would of thought you could love an animal this much. She's part of the family and we wouldn't have it any other way.
