I adopted a Shih Tzu from my relative who has 9dogs now (deduct the puppy i adopted).
This Shih Tzu's previous owner was forced by her father to dump him and his brother.
Reason is, both of them are infected by skin disease and there worms in one of their head. They gave these Shih Tzu brothers up to a pet shop. Later on, the pet shop owner gave to my relative. My relative adopted them, bring them to the vet and took care of them. Both are consider to be recovered, thought the younger brother is not completely healed yet.
This adoption was decided in a haste. I look at my relative's Shih Tzu, named Kawaii, she has a superb girly face and very adorable. She said she has another Shih Tzu for adoption. She said i will let you take of him for a few days and see my grandpa will scold only decide.
And so, my relative brought the younger Shih Tzu brother and another mixed Shih Tzu for my family to choose which to adopt. Because the mixed one is too active and noisy, afraid that my grandpa will dislike, we chose Sparkee the younger Shih Tzu brother.
He is quiet and extremely low in self-confident. He was so sad because he was abandoned by people twice and afraid our his new home that he can lie there and not move for minutes.
I named him Bear Bear. ^^
He is quite popular.My cousins all like him wanted to bring him home. Neighbour's son also wanted to bring him also. Ask me whether he can bring Bear Bear home or not. Of course not!!!! I seldom hear his bark. Yeap. He is timid. He is afraid of cars because he was nearly run over by a truck before.
He has a sad love story.
One day, my brother bring his beautiful and elegant poodle home, call Momo. Bear Bear's heart was struck by cupid's arrow. LOL
Male dog's natural instinct. For the first time i see his tail swag so wildly and chase after Momo until Momo bark for help. My mom immediately varry Momo up and put Momo on the chair. Bear Bear waited down there, never move his sight away from Momo. His eyes were full of admiration when he was looking at Momo. Haha.
He tried many times to approach Momo but everytime was rejected. That day, he was liveless. Laid there like a roasted pig. haha. That's his sad love story.
Poor Bear Bear.
I like to play with his ears. Though I know dogs dislike people play with their ears.hehe
