One year ago today my little nephew Louie was born. My sister practically peed her pants she was so excited. The breeder called her cel with the play by play everytime a pup was born. Three days later we both made the trip to Zanesville OH, to see him. My sister had 1st pick of the males in the litter, of which there were 3. Louis, the biggest of his litter is liver colored, quite rare in Shih Tzus, so of course, he was her choice.
At three days, looking more like a little mouse than a little dog, Louie quite literally fit in the palm of her hand.
and the palm of my hand,
Louie is the most charming, playful, crazy smart pooch I have yet to meet, and am proud to have him be part of my fam.
at 4 months old he was already making my sister rethink children. Destroying countless pairs of flip-flops, eating everything he could,
yipping and yapping all night, and running around like a wild farm dog,
but how could she not love her little bundle of joy? He inherited her exact personality.
Making sure he got the full effect of his first year, Louis celebrated halloween,
He totally enjoyed his first winter, and figured out he LOVES the snow!
and at Christmas, she educated him about Santa, and Milk and cookies, his favourite thing,
Lou-ster has grown into quite the well rounded dog, and at 18 lbs, is full of playfull joy and craziness,
I wish my little nephew a very Happy, Happy 1st Birthday,
Shih-tzu’s always remind me of Ewoks!
Happy birthday, Louie!
Love,
Sydney, Conan and their Puppy Momma
