My Guard Dog... ubbc#11

Just to clarify (cos I have new readers) (and I'm a clarifying kinda gal)... 

I love my shih tzu's. 

Sometimes when feeling blue they come to me like they know I'm in need

of some "shittie" love... they nestle and cuddle and they heal my inner hurts.

I like to tell loved ones that they are below the shitties in the pecking order of 

what's important in my life (just kiddin', but it's a useful reality check for certain

family members). If there was a fire... I'd grab my Nikon and my shitties.

Although if there was a fire, the dogs would alert me immediately, grab the fire

extinguishers and usher the kids out, dial 911 and give them the address.

Then and only then they'd stop, drop and roll... for a treat.

So while I haven't had a whole lot of inspiration lately for my pictures I have

been snapping away at my furry friends!!! 

I captured this today, Mr. Mac sitting with his chin on the window sill 

looking for big bad burglars to chew on. Don't even think about it you

horrible, no good, bad guy. He will eat you alive before he lets you 

bring harm to the family he protects so fiercely.  

People ask me if they are good with kids... oh yeah... they can 

probably eat a whole one over several sittings!!! 

Never underestimate the power of the Shih Tzu!!! 

p.s. we do keep them cropped short.. we live in the South people.. it's damn hot!!! 

and, ahem, I'm crap at brushing them!!
