I Can Do The Shih Tzu Sidestep!
This is Candy writing, not Mom! I don’t know what happened to me last night! I didn’t really like meeting all those people, so I don’t think that’s why I’m so excited this morning. Maybe it’s because I got to stay up until after 2! I always want to dance in the morning, but this morning I wanted to try something new!
We ran up and down the stairs a couple of times, but Mom didn’t get up. She finally came down about 5:30. I wanted to surprise her, so instead of dancing towards her, I danced across the floor sideways, then sideways the other direction, and then back again! Mom laughed very hard. She said, “You are a funny little shih tzu. What do you call that? The Candy dance?” That Man was coming down the stairs behind her, but I was having so much fun, I just kept dancing!
Dottie and Flower don’t know how to dance sideways, but they started dancing with me, too. I must have got them excited, because they danced with me all across the floor. Then, when Mom opened the door for us to go outside, we danced right out the door! I love to dance!!
That other dog, the foster dog named Shiloh, tried to dance with us. He wasn’t as crazy as we were. Mommy told him before not to scratch her legs, so he is trying not to be bad. We never scratch her legs. We just dance! And dance!
Mom seemed to take a really long time to give us our food today. I just wandered around, waiting, but Flower started barking. She doesn’t like to wait for her food. She had to stop barking when Mom came out and told her to be quiet, though.
Pretty soon, that man came out with our dishes. He left Shiloh’s food inside, because when Shiloh is outside, he tries to eat ours as well. We were really hungry. As soon as the bowls hit the floor, we rushed towards them. Mom said we were pigs; we gobbled it down quickly!
Mommy asked the Man if Flower had growled at all. Come to think of it, I don’t think she did, and Flower loves to growl, especially at the Man.
Sadie Shih Tzu (aka Sadie Boo??)
We are very excited about a new friend. Her name is Sadie Shih Tzu, but we think she is also Sadie Boo. We like Boo. We think we would all like to be named Boo: Dottie Boo, Candy Boo and Flower Boo! Giggle. We’d be great Halloween dogs!
Anyway, we follow each other on Twitter. She has a really cool website: SadieShihTzu.com. She named our website the website of the week. Wasn’t that nice of her! I wish we could have a play date!
We need to see video of Candy’s side step dance!
I wish I had caught it! I have one fuzzy video from my Droid of one morning. I am going to invest in a small camera that will take videos, because their dancing is so precious. And that is the one and only time Candy did that, so I sure hope she does it again!
Ooh! I’d love to see the side-dance on video. I have a little dinner dance I do before I get my foods.
Mom was so disappointed! Usually Flower and Dottie go up and get her in the morning, although sometimes I go up the stairs with them and try to wake her up. My little legs just don’t seem to climb as well as theirs. But I waited at the bottom, and I was so excited, I started making up my own dance! Mom said, “You cute little ewok. Why don’t you do that when I have my camera!” But I’m a little shy. I just couldn’t contain myself that morning!!
I forgot to ask!!! What is your dinner dance??? Maybe I could do that next and really surprise Mom!!
P.S. Don’t tell Mom. I wrote from her account! I have my own, but I forgot my password!!!
Dottie, Candy and Flower (and Mrs Di) – thank you SO much for mentioning me here. I’m honoured to be part of your lives. So happy to have found your blog and read your life story. I totally wish we could have a play date too. Ear bites to you all – SADIE x
Hi Sadie. Before this year, we had never had treats, a Mommy or friends. You can’t imagine how excited we get. We still need to read all about you. Well, to tell you the truth, Mommy will have to read it for us. We still aren’t even sure where you live. Do you live near us? What is an ear bite? We are learning so many new things!!!
