WELCOME to SHIH TZU L

FAMILY

MEMORIAL PAGE

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
  All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again
miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

                This site is dedicated IN MEMORY of all our precious

    furkids (shih tzu) and other pets that are waiting for us

at Rainbow bridge and especially to ROCKY

Rainbow's Prince Aslan Mann

06/08/1996  -  09/22/2006

He loved tummy rubs, car rides anywhere, treats (which he got too many
of...), washing Dad's face, lots of naps, snuggles and kisses (which
*we* never got enough of).  Most of all he loved simply being
with 'his pack', his human family, no matter what we were doing.  He
will be sorely missed until we see him again in Heaven!

 LE-TY

Nov 4, 1985 to April 28, 1997

Gold, White and Black Male
loved to do circuits round the house especially for company.  Loved by
Lenore, Darren, & Tyler Mann of Vancouver originally

Buffy Tzu: 

January 8, 1980 to July 14, 1998. 

  Beautiful shiny white and black who loved to jump and have "nut runs" with her sister Dusty Tzu.     Buffy's name was actually Bufferin (like the medication).    We named her Bufferin because she healed our aching hearts and made us feel well after we put our Boston Terrior Corque to sleep in the fall of 1979.    She was a pet store dog, and proved that a good diet and lots of love gives a  good dog a long healthy life.   (She was 18 1/2 years.)   Vet is still amazed at her wonderful old age abilities.     Just one morning woke up and had trouble breathing.  Hardly sick at all.
 

Dusty Tzu

April12 1992 to July 1 1992

(Buffy Tzu's baby sister)      A beautiful mixture of brindle brown with a precious all black face.     She romped all over with Buffy and they loved to put front paws on each others shoulders and stand on hind legs and dance all over the room together.  Quite a sight.   Dusty had a centrally located deep brain tumor and died on the operating table

KESWICK

 11 years old (1981-92)

  Alice's first dogblack and white...full
of fun & mischief, bright, loving, and nuts over his 'grandmere's' chopped
liver (in its own container with his name on it!)  He was my 'pet store tzu' who
taught me to love the breed.

KENDALL

-  Alice's.  Only 2 1/2 yrs...a sweet, gentle soul with the most
beautiful expressive eyes...his favorite game was "Go get star!" (a little stuffed
toy star ).  I never found 'star' after he died....I think my darling boy
took it with him!

KRISTA

- Alice's.  16 yrs..."such a good girl" ALWAYS! (tho a Champion Pill
Spitter-Out-er. Lol) She had the face and disposition of an angel.  My only
little girl

BRUNO - Finire Sumo Warrior

Incredibly intelligent, affectionate and loyal little boy.

Pixie XII Clifton.

She came to us as a rescue after being used as a breeder.  She brought love along with her.  Born 8/29/89 and died 8/15/2000.  She lived with us for 6 years and only barked 3 times.  But , man, could she snort at ya if she didn't like something

KD (Killer Dog)

 March 21, 1994 - March 25, 1999

KD was the love of my life. Any person who met her
felt the love and joy she brought into the world by
her mere presence on this earth. I know she will meet
me at the Rainbow Bridge and we wil both be whole
again.

HOLLY

YU TOBIAS (Toby)

10/14/82  -  11/11/96

He was my first shih tzu, a black and white proud father of four.  Our one and only encounter with breeding.  During his 14 years he remained my best and most faithful friend ever.  He loved people and was the love of my life during a very rough time.  Owned by Patty Cassidy

REGINA BITS OF LOVE

1/22/01  -  6/18/01

A full of life black and white puppy who zoomed circles around the furniture and jumped up on          any thing she could.  Regina lived more life in six months than most do in a full lifetime.  She brought laughter and joy to my life.  She just wanted to be loved.  Although her life was short she was such a joy and was tremendously loved.

MISS COOKIE BELLE

PEANUT

died June 20, 1969 

 Now I know she had renal displasia, but the doctors didn't know about it then.  She was a mighty 6 1/2 pounds, but medically didn't turn out to be showable.  She would have been one of the first dogs in the AKC register, but she died while I was proving her background.  I only heard her bark twice in the 6 months I had her.  When someone was breaking into my apartment she stood on my face, quietly waking me up in time.

We had such a bond.  I was at my birthday party and I started crying uncontrollably for over an hour.  Suddenly it was over and I knew she was dead, she was gone from my heart and mind.  I worked at the vet where she died and I checked the records and she was in shock with the doctor fighting for her life at the exact times I could feel her.

Because of Peanut, about 30 years later I got my next Tzu.  I now have 2 and will always have one in my life.
