Dear Laurie,
This is a shot in the
dark, but 5 years ago, I met with you (I think) to purchase one of your Shih
Tzu Puppies. We purchased “Charlie” from the litter named after the Peanuts
Characters. I am writing because today is our little guy’s 5th
Birthday and I just have to tell you how wonderful it is to have him in our
lives and what a wonderful addition he’s made to our family.
I
wish I would have called you after we met to tell you Thank you, but today I
want to thank you 100x’s over again.
The day I picked him
up from the Bank of America parking lot, I took him home and introduced him to
our Cat Gracie. She was a 2 at the time, and unimpressed with our new bundle of
joy. We had the week to ourselves as my husband was on a mission trip when I
came to get him. We went to the church
to pick up my husband and when he got off the bus to say hello, I handed him
“Charlie” and told him that this was his new best friend. My husband was thrilled, he was instantly in love with our new little guy, and named him Aquaman (yes, we’re big comic book nerds, and even so Aquaman is an
odd name for a dog).
We took him home, and they’ve been inseparable buddies ever
since. Aquaman has such a funny
personality – when I saw your ad in the classifieds I fell in love with his
face, and I still love that furry face of his, but it’s his personality that
makes me giggle on a daily basis. His favorite thing in the world is to play
tug, fetch, and to snuggle. If you have a fleece blanket on your lap and he’s
around, you’ve got yourself a new best friend, and he will stay there as long
as you’ll let him, even if he gets too hot. We take him to the park almost
every day to let him run, and he’s fed only the premium food – he is family
after all.
He doesn’t really like other dogs, and him and the cat have
grown tolerant of each other, mostly he likes to let her sit all by herself and
then randomly walk up to her and sit on her.
I grew up with big dogs – so bringing a little dog into my
home made me a little hesitant, but Aquaman has changed my views, and I will
probably always get a Shih Tzu from now on. They are such amazingly loyal and
loving.
I wanted to send you a few photos of our little guy he’s a
child of a photographer and basically says “Cheese” every time he sees my
camera very Photogenic!, and just let you know that he is loved, and we so very
much appreciate you allowing us to bring him into our home, he has truly
blessed it.
We hope that someday down the road, we can bring another
Shih Tzu to our home, and when that time comes, we’ll be in touch, I hope
you’re still breeding them by then!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us,
The Ronnebeck Family
Eric, Abby, Aquaman & Gracie
Happy Birthday Little man... we love you!
