I would like to introduce our new puppy,a Shih Tzu,name of Heidi,9 weeks old October 18th.She was born on August 16th,same date as my Grandmother(Mom's Mom).I found an ad online for 5 Shih Tzus in a town East of here where we took Fritz to the groomers.There were 5 to start,one was sold the day before,we went and saw them on October 10th.The puppies were glad to see us,they were all wagging their tails.Heidi took a liking to both of us,cuddled in mom's coat and then on my lap.The parents are purebreds and are registered they are the family pets.They kissed and licked me sat next to me.We had a sleepless night the first night, she was crying in the bed,we brought the cage up and was in my bedroom,still cried,mom took her out and had her a few minutes,put her back,she still cries,pooped in her bed,Mom took that out and was still crying,put a little radio close to her,it helped a bit,around 5 in the morning,took her outside and then brought her to bed with me.After that night,she would cry a bit,have left a radio on,she is sleeping better.She has learned to ask to go in the house,she is starting to ask to go out,did it once today upstairs,has done it a few times down,doesn't always go potty but are glad to see she is at least asking to go out.She has two meals a day and water,has a few naps snores up a storm,likes playing with stuffies including the Monkey,a ball,a rope toy shaped like a bone and a little Kong.She sometimes sleeps next to me by the computer,now she seems to prefer to sleep under the coffee table like Fritz did.She likes to nip at you ,fingers and toes and my arm.She hears me get up in the morning,cries,taker her out tails goes,has a play with me before I have cereal.She met Taffy,seems to be afraid will go toward her and back off and bark.
