how would it be?
that’s my dear dog stormy. give me a break on photo quality - i took the photo with my moto q, which has a whopping 1 megapixel camera. and photography isn’t my thing. obviously. 
she loves to sleep on the top of the couch…all stretched out. see how her back legs are flat behind her? that is how all shih tzus lay out. she often sinks right down, practically in mid stride, with her front paws straight out and her back paws straight back. she sleeps alot, lucky bitch.
the potty thing is getting better. i’ve been walking her a lot more, and she loves it! plus she LOVES to poop in the neighbor’s yard. normally, i would pick the poop up, but this particular neighbor is kind of from hell, so pretend not to notice that stormy is crapping on her lawn. instead, i look at the scenery and stuff.
dogs have the LIFE. our dogs sleep on our bed: all night with me…and then all day with paul. they eat well. we often feed them scraps of steak, chicken and vegetables. (and not the scraps you wouldn’t eat. lean cuts of meat.) they LOVE carrots. they get petted every single day. they don’t have jobs. they don’t have stress. if they raise puppies, they are moms for a big, long 8 weeks. twelve weeks for the shih tzu. all they have to do is put up with 4-10 hungry little wiggly puppies nursing on them whenever they feel like it.
i’d nurse for 8 weeks straight if i didn’t have to pay for a college education. is anyone else with me on this?
sidebar: jake has a soccer tournament this weekend! it’s only supposed to be 95 degrees outside, so i’m really excited about that. wish him well!
Stumble it!
And I thought Harvy was bad for sleeping on top of my recliner chair.I guess that all of our pets have their own quirks to them.
Hugs and God’s Blessings-Mike G. said that (its an A.A. thing)
Our lab-collie mix use to sleep like that.
And yeah, would love to lie around, sleep, eat (um, and not get fat) all day and night … and not pay for college.
95 degrees? Gawd, that’s hot! Isn’t there some school shopping you could drag him to instead - you know, air conditioned building. It can be a physical event, forcing him to try on clothes and show you how he looks.
Yeah, probably not.
Hope some one got the forecast wrong.
Right on, I wish that I was that dog. Man does that animal have the life, all it needs now is a smoke and a nice cool drink!
I love shitzus. When they lay down they seem flat as a pancake. It’s good having you back around, lol, since we spend so much time together!
I agree. I’d be a dog in a second. Someone taking care of you at all times, lounging in the sun, getting a back scratch when and where you want it…it would be awesome.
I have a weird inability to see where dogs poop. Whoops if I don’t see it then I guess I don’t have to pick it up.
I love dogs to death! Not cats, just dogs. And Stormy is adorable.
okay your dog is cute. And yes it would be quite nice to be a dog…I guess. It sounds like your litte puppy is spoiled! I’m sure she is pretty content to be a dog too!
I am terrible poop picker- upper( very very poop sensitive) Lucky for me my dog has never pooped outside our yard.(which then becomes Pauls job.
But yes I would admire the “scenery” too. . ( In my case I would be doing them a favor..)
