another shih tzu snow day

Us female shih tzus had been inside for a while when we heard him barking. The Treat Man went to see what was wrong. We didn’t think the snow was very high, and the man had made a path for us, but Nigel still couldn’t get back up the porch steps. He was sitting there with his paws up on the porch, whining. He had a lot of snow on him. The man helped him up; he said the snow must have weighed him down.

I don’t know if it was because of the snow, but Mom stayed home with us almost all day. We were happy, because she has been gone a lot lately. Mom and the Treat Man have mentioned something called Christmas several times. We don’t know what that is, but if it has anything to do with how often Mom is gone, I don’t think we like it.

Flower “Shiver” Shih Tzu

We saw some toys that look really strange. They look like something I would like to chew on, but I guess they aren’t for us. Mom keeps them on shelves where we can’t reach them. We think they are probably for those little kids that come over sometimes.

Although those toys must not be ours, we know that Mom has been looking for something for us. We heard her tell the Treat Man that she was having a hard time finding us “stockings,” because some were too big and others were too small. We have no idea what stockings are. I hope it’s not something else she is going to make us wear!

Shih Tzu Day 126: Let It Snow

shih tzu snow day

I woke up this morning to Candy barking instead of Dottie moaning. I’m not sure why she was the furry alarm clock today. She was still waiting at the bottom of the stairs, instead of going upstairs with her shih tzu sisters. When I went downstairs, I realized that it had snowed quite a bit. Maybe that’s why she was barking.

The female shih tzus went out on the porch for their breakfast, since I still don’t trust Nigel to eat near them without taking their food. They didn’t mind it, but none of them wanted to get off the porch.

However, the shih tzus were up to the challenge — and fun — of romping in the snow this afternoon. I bought them all dog jackets from Ross Dress For Less and was excited to put them on them. Flower’s is black and has a pink skull on the back. Candy’s is also pink, but says “Biker Babe.” Flower’s is pink and white polka dots. Nigel’s is black and is plain, except it has a fur collar. I thought all the shih tzus looked adorable in their dog clothes.

I didn’t have much trouble bundling up Nigel, Dottie and Candy, but Flower didn’t make it easy for me. She kept running around, until I finally trapped her in the kitchen.

I stayed outside and watched the shih tzus romping in the snow. They looked like they were having a lot of fun. A few times, Flower froze in time and I had to pull her out of the snow. Beyond that, I think she loved it. I know I loved watching them!
