shih tzu's??????
Are there any shih tzu owners out there. I have one that is six months old. Her name is Mijit. (my children named her!) She is the sweetest thing. She loves everyone. I am taking her in next week to have her spayed. I am nervous. I will have to leave her overnite. She is like my third child. I am very close to her and her to me also. She hates being alone. She wants to be with people all the time. Anyway if there are any Shih Tzu lovers out there I would love to hear from you. Have a great day.

Hi Kim - I have a shih tzu - 6 year old Chucky! He is a black masked gold...his little 3 1/2 month old sister is a Great Dane!! I know, quite an odd mix for dogs, but like my kids, no 2 personalities are the same! Anyway Chucky was neutered when he was 6 months & Chloe - the Great Dane will be neutered @ 6 months...your baby Mijit will be fine. My breeder explained the breed best to me & it has stuck in my head...."your Shih Tzu will always be loyal to you...however, the breed LOVES to be loved...you could be gone tomorrow and they will be completely loyal to the next person they are with." In the past 6 years, I have watched Chucky, & she was completely accurate. He loves anyone around, yes if I am around...he is most loyal to me, however, if not....he is perfectly happy with whomever he is with! Don't worry about Mijit - she will be fine! -Joanne
Hi Kimberly, This is my first time on this Board. I have two shih tzu's. Marissa who is almost 6 yrs old and her baby Maggie who is two years old. They are my second family since my children are grown and no longer home. Marissa is tan and white and Maggie is tan and white with black mixed in her face. I love them to death and they are spoiled rotten. Have a great day.
Hi Kim!
Just got the "dogs" board, and saw your post. (why so late)
We have 5 year old Petey, who we adopted from a neighbors' out of town friend. When first married, my boss gave me one of his puppies. He was my precious baby before children. My heart was broken when he developed a kidney disease that he ended up dying from. After having Misha and knowing how wonderful shih tzu's are, we couldn't pass up another one. Petey being older, we were worried he might not love us like his original family. I was really concerned because he did bark at my son & I when we picked him up and seemed aggressive. But now he is my shadow, wherever I am so is he. Except when my hubby comes home he has running fits and tinkles---which thrills him to death. I tease him that he loves Petey more than me. (We have to take him for rides, and he makes special trips for Krystal burgers-----I know, not really good, but what can I say.)
Since I have just now found your post---I'm sure that Mijit is doing great and you all are spoiling her rotten!
Would love to hear back from you about your wls experience. I am preop, waiting to hopefully get approval from BC/BS after 6 month diet req. I have been checking out board off/on for over year and have really enjoyed the Boards and profiles. ( Will have to check yours out next)
Take care and enjoy Mijit!!!!!
Hey Sunshine,
Thanks for replying. I am totally in love with my baby. She is like my third kid. She did fine on her surgery. I had to call the vet today though. She has a hard knot that has come up under her incision. It doesn't seem like it bothers her but I am not sure what it is. I have to take her back in on monday. Boy, she milked it for everything she could get. I had to go back to the vet after her surger and get her some pain meds. She is back to her normal self now. They are very loveable dogs. She does not meet a stranger. She hates being alone. Well enough about her. You asked about my experience with the wls. I had lap RNY on April 18th. I have lost 90 lbs so far. I am just in awe over the results. I did not have any complications at all. I had seven incisions cause they had to take my gall bladder out also. I started out at 275 and now I am weighing in at 185. It has almost been 5 months. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. My insurance would not pay for it. It was excluded on my policy so I ended up paying cash for it. I found out that Hibernia would finance a medical loan. So that is what I did. I am paying a little over 400.00 a month for this and it has put a financial strain on us but I would do it again in a heart beat. If you have any questions or just need to talk. Give me a hollar. I don't mind talking or giving you my opinion on something. Well good luck with everything and give Petey a hug and kiss for me.
Hugs,
Kim
