One
day, as I was walking through the mall,
I
looked in the pet shop and saw a little fluffy
puppy.
It was then I discovered what a Shih
Tzu
is and went on a two year search for just
the
right one. We looked and looked, until we
had
almost given up hope--and then, just
before
Christmas, 1992, we drove in a
snowstorm
to a local breeders. That night
one
came home in my coat pocket, and we
named
her "Samantha".
After
training classes, we entered Samantha
in
"match" shows and then in a "real" show.
A
month after she became pointed, she went
totally
blind.
Samantha
holds a very special place in our
family
and in our hearts and, to us, will
always
be the perfect little Shih Tzu. |
