It is a privilege to have a shih tzu as family member! In this part of my homepages,
I will honor these friends of ours with whom we spended many memorable years.
It is difficult to find the right words to describe them all, as each of them was quite a personality.
I hope the pictures of each will tell more than thousand words….
