We Are NO LONGER LIVE!

ETA 12/13/14:
My subscription to Join Me has expired and at a cost of nearly $200 to renew, I can not justify the expense right now.  I can run basic, but the code changes daily and I can not isolate the camera screen so my entire desktop would be visible to the public.  Plus, during the past two weeks I have had numerous technical problems that kept kicking the whole thing offline.  Many of you out there probably don't understand also the amount of time I have to dedicate to bring this feature to you on a day to day basis and I just can't continue this considering my current medical issues.

I'm sorry to those of you that enjoyed the cam, but this current litter is older now and I'm not really sure when I will breed another litter, so for now we are offline until further notice.  My apologies to current puppy buyers.

Random Puppy Pics

Almost a full 5 weeks old and super cute!  They are playing with each other and discovering toys.  They spent yesterday away from mom most of the day and munched on puppy food.  A few of them have discovered the water bottle.  Days of discovery!  So adorable!













More later if time permits!

Three Weeks Old

The boys
There is only one black & white puppy after all!  And he's to the far left.  He'll probably be staying for a while.  :)  The middle boy will be a rich gold/red & white.  The far right - not sure yet.  He may be a tri-color!


The girls
Not sure which girl will stay yet.  But one will!  :)  Both are going to be a variation of gold & white.  Red & white or brindle & white are possible based on what I'm seeing in the smaller girl (bottom).

All pups have opened their eyes.  They are now starting to discover their world in more detail.  Sniffing of mom's food bowl has begun!  The next few weeks will be fun!

Is It Labor Day Already??

This has been one heck of a year so far.  In late January we moved to our new forever home here in north Phoenix.  It was quite an effort having the place gutted and renovated followed by the move.  When we moved in we had one working utility sink in the dog room and the guest bath had a working shower and toilet.  No counter tops were in at all and renovations were still on going.  Paint, tile, drywall.  It all still needed work in some way shape or form.  The master suite was far from complete.  The pups and I stuffed the king size bed into a guest room and crashed there for about a month until the master bath was complete.  It was worth it.  Then the guest bath was completed.  During that time the granite in the kitchen along with the bath Corrian arrived and it started becoming a real home.

Early March brought hip replacement surgery and while the hip cooperated, my chemical make-up didn't.  My incision was not healing properly and I had a low grade infection brewing.  I've had two follow up surgeries to facilitate healing.  After five months I am finally going back to the office five days a week starting after the holiday.  I've lost a lot of strength and stamina but I am determined.  Once we are sure the infection that started is gone, we will begin with knee injections next.  I've got a great Orthopedic Surgeon and I am confident I will be back in the show ring in 2015.  While weaker than normal, I feel better than I've felt in a very long time.  Once the summer heat dissipates I will begin a walking routine to help me build up my strength again. 

I can't thank my friends that have helped me through this ordeal enough.  Even before the move, people were there helping me pack.  Then the move - I was worried I wouldn't get through it.  But I did with your help.  The renovation team was amazing and my house turned into a home before my eyes.  Then came the surgery - babysitting me, helping with the dogs, helping with the house, rides to and from the hospital - you guys know who you are.  Not to mention my surgeon.  What a gift you have and I am lucky to have found someone so talented, patient and kind to lead me through this journey.  I am BLESSED to have you ALL in my life.  I will never be able to repay each of you for the time you took to help me. I am humbled by your generosity and kindness.  Shih Tzu hugs and kisses to each and every one of you!

So now it's kind of cool being in my own place and being able to create my own style.  We are still unpacking.  A little at a time. . .  The dogs are now used to the new digs and their favorite thing is running from one end of the house to the other when I open the gates and let them have full access.  They chase each other like crazy, rounding through the kitchen and into the family room.  Then running all the way down to the other end of the house and back to start it all over again!  It makes me smile.

And we have puppies on the way!  That's the icing on the cake!  Life is good!

Happy New Year!

WoTeH'sin Shih Tzu hopes you had a wonderful 2013 holiday season!  We wish you all the best in 2014!

Sadly my breeding with Kiki and Magic did not take and so we do not have puppies available at this time.  The future holds potentially two breedings this year that should occur mid to late 2014.  I will update the upcoming litter page as events occur.

There are lots of other changes for us here personally coming up this year.  We will be relocating to a new residence in late January.  This comes with lots of excitement and stress of course, but this move is one that I have been planning for a long time.  The move won't be far, only 8 miles, but it means packaging up over eight years of stuff here, so purging and packing will be the focus over the next couple of weeks.

Once moved I hope to have a surgical procedure that will finally rid me of the nearly two years of chronic pain I have endured.  I am hopeful that I have sought the best medical professionals for my case and that soon I will be able to walk again freely without the use of a cane.  I trust then that I can rid myself of intense pain medications paving the road to normalcy once again. 

If you are so inclined, please keep us in your prayers and good thoughts for a safe move and for a successful outcome to my surgery.  Through this I am blessed to have my pups around me - they give me strength and purpose to keep plugging along.  They are my motivation every single day.
