Okay. I get the message. As requested, here are a couple of photos of our new family member, Yo-Yo the Shih Tzu. I'll do my best to post some better ones soon.
No, he's not always this calm and, yes, he really does sleep on his back like that.
Yo-Yo is fitting in great with the family... although he does like to pull dirty clothes around the house. Potty training is going pretty well too.
All-in-all he's a keeper. And, if you ever see Lynda out and about, chances are Yo-Yo is along for the ride.
The big decision now is whether or not to try and keep his coat long. From experience, this will be a lot of work. Also, his facial hair doesn't seem to be angling down as it grows, but continues to do that "fan" thing in front of his eyes. That's not good for him and can lead to eye troubles.
The good news is that a haircut won't affect his personality. Matter-of-fact, it might make him even more playful. But it is great to watch him chasing his toys with all that fur bouncing.
Cute! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
CONGRATULATIONS MOMMY!
Nothing on this planet brings joy to a home like a puppy. Yo-yo looks like the sweet tempered Lon Chaney Jr from the original Wolf Man (and yes, I didn't think the wolf man was a monster and I was always pulling for him over the humans). Very cute little face.
Maybe we can have a blogger canine convention in 2010 and Yo-yo can try and outbark Otto and Sophie?
By the way, I'm in favor of doing the IDP and RPI conventions on the same two days. The Convention Center and HyVee Hall could easily house both.
Huge media weekend for Iowa media. Plus, a lot of fun parties.
He's a cutie! Can't wait to meet him. I bet he makes you laugh every day. What a wonderful addition to your family!
