Aww she does sounds like sugh a special sweetie! I am so glad you have enjoyed each others company through the years.
I have noticed a lot of bumps on Pokey and Packer lately. The vet takes them off at teeth cleaning time. They are sebaceous cyts and she said shih tzus commonly get them as they get older. I know I dont think of Pokey as old as he is. He still gets around as good too, but he is getting more grumpy with the little one around!!
