I am a typical sassy little shih tzu who is afraid of nothing and I just know that everyone should cater to me and give me unending love and attention.  But since I am so CUTE, it won’t be difficult to do this for me!

 

Now, while I am a darling little girl, I do have some special needs.  First, I have a re-occurring yeast infection so I will need to be bathed about once every week or two with a special shampoo.  Second, I hate my baths and will sob and cry almost the whole time.  The biggest problem is that I am terrified about getting water in my nose!!!  Someone must have been rough during my baths in my former life so even though my foster mom is very, very careful, I just don’t trust her to keep that water out of my nostrils!  Finally, third, I don’t do long stairways so I have to be carried up stairs that are more than about 4 steps high.  We know this because the bedrooms in my foster home are upstairs and I am such a “baby” that I get to be carried up every night to sleep on a bed!  And I LOVE sleeping on the bed with people!!

 

Other than that, I am pretty easy to live with.  I get along great with the other dogs and even like to play with them sometimes.  I like doggie toys and I adore human attention.  I do HATE to be crated so my foster mom just puts a gate up to keep me in the kitchen and dining area when she is gone because sometimes I do have accidents – especially if it is rainy outside or really cold.
