Harvey and I have decided to become Daddy and Mommy to another dog, who we will call Wylie
Our friend, Cheryl, told me about this little shih-tzu puppy (9mos old) who came into her veterinary clinic as an emergency rescue with an infected eye. She needed a new home. Harvey and I had planned to get a shih-tzu girl after our older shih-tzu's, Whitney and Willow, are no longer with us -- which of course we hope is a very long time for now. However, this little baby just looks so special and I fell in love with her pretty much already.
We have two 2yo brother shih-tzu's from a litter Cheryl had previously and I think they will be VERY happy to have a baby sister to play with. Their names are Wilson and Watson. More likely than not, Wilson and Watson will be more impressed with the new girl than Willow and Whitney will be, but we shall see.
Since we have room in our hearts, as well as on the sofa and bed, we just had to say "yes" to Wylie
We plan to pick Wylie up either next weekend, or the following weekend. Depending on how she is recovering from her surgeries (eye and spay) and the weather. We are excited to meet her in person!
Thanks for looking and listening!
UDATE 2/5/2011: We brought Wylie home today and she is doing so well! She did great on the 3.5 hour drive home. She met all our guys -- who seem to be universally infatuated with her -- and she took a nap with us. I had worried Willow would be very jealous / resentful of Wylie, however, we told Willow that Wylie is for her (like we do when she gets a new toy -- and like we told Winston when "he" got Willow many moons ago). Well, maybe Willow took it to heart because she got after Wilson for getting too close and too attentive to her puppy. Seems to be a perfect fit all around and I will update with pictures soon
Plus, it was great to see Cheryl again! She is so nice and was busy at her wonderful vet practice with a goat, dogs, etc., when we arrived
