Hi Tzu-Li!

Your touching story has brought tears to our eyes this morning little man. Not only are you adorable, you have been and still are, the perfect little companion all these years. Anyone can easily feel the love your human has for you. How sad that your original Mom left so early but your new family was there to take you in. It was there that a mutual need was fulfilled. Each of you comforting each other. We're sorry to hear of your latest health issues. It can't be easy for any of you to go through this. We congratulate you on your much deserved honor today as our wonderful little DOTD. We hope you and your family get to celebrate that honor today, as well as the wonderful life you've all had together. Please have Mom give you some celebratory kisses from us and we wish you continued happiness. :) :) :) :) :)

Love, Daisy and Delilah in Sunny Florida :cool: :cool:

Sweetheart, your story has brought me to tears this morning...some happy and some sad.
Happy because you were able to have such a long and happy life with your wonderful family and sad because your time here on earth is running out.

I just hope you have many more good days than bad and that today is one of your good days because your Dog of the Day today...and boy do you ever deserve it:D

What a special boy you are Tzu-Li! Also, your story touches my heart. It's so obvious that you've helped your mommy and daddy through thick and thin. Good Job little man! I think you so derserve to be the DOTD and Congrats! :)

Tzu-Li, your story has brought tears to my eyes, too. What a very special little boy you are. How lucky you and your mom had were able to comfort and love each other all those years ago, and obtain such a very special bond. I am sending out big hugs to you Tzu-Li, and I hope that your Mom is able to give them to you for me. Congratulations Tzu-Li on being our extra special Dog of the Day!

Tzu-Li, you sound very special, indeed. Your story is so touching, you deserve to be our Dog of the day today sweetheart. Congrats, little man.

As everyone has already stated, this is a teary-eyed tribute to such a wonderful dog!! As I read about "your story", it tugged at my heart so much, bringing back memories of when our last dog got old and her heart caused her demise. :(

You are so fortunate to have been healthy and well cared for, for so many years....the walks to the woods everyday sound blissful ;)

I will re-read your message and enjoy your photo "today and for days to come".......
it is the most difficult thing in the world watching your beloved pup age, and get frail. Losing sight, hearing and having heart and stroke complications makes it so so sad.......but we will be rooting for you to enjoy many more months of love and happiness.

Thanks for being our DOTD--reading your story makes us appreciate the health and youth of our precious furkids all the more :) Jasmine's mom

PS: That is a fantastic PHOTO of you--you are beautiful

What a most handsome handsome man you are Tzu-Li! Your dark flowing hair is simply gorgeous! Your pic captures your beautiful Shih Tzu heart - and how cute is that little tongue hanging out? I hope you are comfortable sweet boy, you are so very clearly loved. Congrats to OUR BEAUUUTIFUL Tzu-Li!! :) :D :)

Congrats on being DOTD! :)

Tzu-Li, what a cutie you are! Your story is very touching. Congratulations on being DOTD! I hope this day is very special for you. :)

Your mommy's beautiful, touching tribute to her best little buddy has us all in tears, dear Tzu-Li. What a brave, courageous little man you are and what a loving, devoted companion you have been to your family these many years:) The unconditional love you furkids grace our lives with is beyond priceless and as hard as we may try, it seems we are never able to adequately convey to you the depths of our appreciation for the great joy you bring to our lives. I am hoping and praying that you are still there with your family today, to celebrate your great honor, Tzu-Li. But if the powers that be have blessed you with your wings, I take comfort in knowing that you are now happily reunited with your first Mom in heaven:) What a happy reunion that will be. All my love to you and your family, dear Tzu-Li. It was an honor meeting you today, sweetheart. I hope perhaps you will be able to enjoy a short walk in the woods, a nice long nap, whatever your heart desires:) Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers, sweetheart. Please have your family give some gentle hugs and kisses for me. Love, Sandra
