Charlie & I are still going strong.
He still has his tricks and offers to show anyone who stands still long enough. We still make our walks around the campus. One female student recently stopped and said "What a cute Ewok!"
I guess she likes Star Wars.
It's been almost three years since my last post & Charlie is going to be 4 years old next month. 28 years old! At least he doesn't ask for the car. He just expects me to take him for trips.
We have a couple of new tricks. One is to "dance" of course for cookies. The other is to jump through the hoop.
I tell my little charmer; when I retire we are taking our act on the road & joining the circus. Barnum & Bailey here we come!
Through family deaths, spine surgery, and multiple "life" occurrences you cannot beat a dog to always show you the bright side.
You can yell at him for barking out the window at people, he'll stop with head to one side, & then run to you for a head rub because he forgives you.

Well, it's about a year later and Charlie is up to about seven tricks and is still a bundle of energy. We play 20 minutes in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Besides that we walk for an hour around the campus, weather permitting.
He has one very special toy. A fire engine red Elmo. He can't go to sleep without it and carries it around during rain storms. If it ever falls apart I'm dead in the water since it's a child's toy and they no long make that size. If I knew at the time it would be such a big hit I would have bought two or three.

Any fans around?
This may be my first attempt at blogging, but not my first Shitzu.
Charlie is my second. The first was a loving little fellow called Wrigley Field. Naturally after the Cubs - greatest team in Chicago and beloved by the late great Harry.
Wrigley left me after 13 years. I lasted 7 months and there at a flea market of all places I lost my heart to a little fellow who stood on his hind legs and "waved" like Wrigley. Who could resist a sign like that?
Will include pictures later when I figure out how to load them.
Let me know if there are any other fans of the breed.
Don't their dark little eyes just melt your heart?
