MY FUR KIDS

This are my fur babies when they were younger. This was the time when I first brought home my shih tuz. My crossbreed retriever husky terrier wants to play with her but she is afraid of her because she is not use to seeing big dogs. My shih tzu grew up in a shih tzu environment. My friend who gave me this beautiful dog breeds shih tzu only. After three days, she was able to adjust and played with my crossbreed. They became good friends, although there are times that they quarrel because of jealousy. They want both to be cuddled and sometimes we can't do it because my crossbred is a big dog.

These dogs are part of our family and they help us relieve our stress and they are good companions too.

FRIENDS ARE NECESSITY IN LIFE

FRIENDS ARE NECESSITY IN LIFE

I long for a friend
     Someone I can run to
When I am weary and blue
     Someone to dry my tears,
Someone who'll drive away my fears

I look for a friend
     One who will make my life__
Richer and more fun to lie
    With a shoulder to cry on.
                                                                                    And strong character to lean on.

Friends? They're not a luxury,
     Rather they are a necessity.
Life's Become a monotony.
    Causing one to be so lonely
Miserable and full of agony.

Friendships lead up to
__Heavy expenses in time
Emotion, involvement and sacrifices,
It also calls for daring,
True Friendship is enduring.



                                                   Friends .... I need Friends
                                                        Friends I keep,
                                                   Friends I treasure,
                                                       Friends who are not just getting,
                                                   But Friends who are ever giving.

ALAMEA

Alamea waiting for her food

This is Alamea who just turned 2 years-old last November 27.  It's the second dog given to me by another friend. When I got Uriah I wanted to have another dog that she can play with, so when my friend offered to give me this Shih Tzu I said yes without even blinking an eye. She is very cute, tri-colored, playful, loving and melodious. When she first arrived at our apartment, she was afraid of Uriah, but Uriah is very friendly and they got along well after two days. They love to play and run around our small porch. They always run to the door when I arrive home from work. They won't let me enter the door until I pat them on the head.

Alame's sleeping quarters

 She loves to jump and sleep on my lap when I'm watching or doing something on the computer. She always wants me to pat her when she's lonely or not in the mood to play with Uriah. What I like about her most is that when she knows that I'm stressed out from work, she comes to me and kiss me or dance in front of me until I laugh or play with her. She loves to round around and play hide and seek.


                                                               

Alamea at Burnham Park

It took me a week to train her to learn to sit, stand up, jump, dance and turn around. My sister and I was also able to potty train her so she knows where to urinate or poop. She also loves to stay in my bed so I made her a blanket and she sleeps with me. She barks and scratch my door if I don't let her sleep with me. I'm very happy to have them both because they help relieve my stress. I always bring them with me whenever I go out jogging. My relatives also love them.


Some people said that Shih Tzu's are hard headed and not easy to train but I'm lucky because she's not. I think it just depends on how we train and instill discipline on them. Sometimes though I feel their is jealousy between her and Uriah especially if she comes up to my lap and sleep. Uriah will bark at her and wants me to pat her head also or she tries push Alamea over so that she will be the one on my lap. So I made sure that I treat them equally.
