Lhasa Apso / Shih Tzu
I had lost my dog Squirt to cancer she was 15 yrs.
she was part Pekinese and part Lhasa Apso.
I missed her so bad and figured no more as the hurt to great and no
replacement would ever take her place.
Then one day I seen an ad in the paper Lhasa/Shi Tzu puppies for sale.
So we went a hundred miles just to look found the pups mother
didn’t have enough milk and had to be taken.
I spotted this very small black and white fur ball with legs picked him up
with tears in my eyes it was love at first sight.
We made a bed for him along side of me on the floor he cried so hard
I took him to bed laid him on my shoulder some how he found my ear
sucked on it and went to sleep. This he done until he started to get teeth.
Max slept very close every night until the end.
Squirt never would go to the shop with me as she was tender couldn’t
stand the noise of the tools or the sound I would make if some
thing didn’t go right. However Max would sleep through it all.
About five years ago I took sick was in bed for a week Max slept
on my bed next to me. The only time he would leave was to go potty.
He was not much of a lap dog however if I should get down for some
reason or another would sit on my lap and look at me with those big
brown eyes trying to tell me it was ok.
Or he would get his favorite stuffed toy and lay it at my feet.
Since my retirement he never was much over 15 ft away we done so many
things together it is hard now to do something with out
memories of having done it before.
I thought he was broke of leaving the yard or chasing squirrels WRONG
I was away from him no more than three Min. when a motorist stated he had
just hit my dog. He seen the squirrel come out of my yard but never seen
the dog until to late. I rushed out in time to have him take his last
breath in my arms. He was hit in head and never suffered.
I never knew a 70 y.o. man could cry so much or miss some thing
so bad as I do Max Part of me died the day he left me.
I miss you some thing awful Max.
Dad
