Hi Pat,
My neighbor asked for your name and number this morning. He has a friend who is desperately needing a Shih Tzu puppy. She lost her little guy late last year, he was 15.
I'm so sorry to hear your health has led to your decision of leaving the breeding field.
Coconut is just a joy. She has me so well trained!! She could care less how cold or snowy it is. We go on a least 3 twenty minute walks a day - she has to keep up with what's going on in the neighborhood and has friends all along the way who look for her.
I keep my two little granddaughters on Thursdays. They are 2-1/2 and 6 months. Coconut is so excellant with them. She loves to play with the oldest, but senses she must be very gentle. Her favorite place to sleep is right beside the baby. Heaven help me is either child begins to cry, Coconut just paces between me and the little one until everyone is happy again. If you recommend any breeders, please let me know.
Thank you for breeding such high quality dogs. Coconut is just the sweetest, sweetest little thing.
Once again, I'm so sorry about your health. I pray it is not life threating and that you feel the gentle touch of God's healing over time.
