Hi Staci

Thanks for asking about little Princess Cassie. She's doing good, although at 8 years old, she is starting to really show her age. I worry about her. She has been with my mom for only a year now and she has been to the vet for one thing or another over 2 dozen times Her last trip to the vet, which was just 2 weeks ago, was because of an ear hemotoma (sp?) and she had to have it surgerically lanced and then stitched up. Poor little dog, she is the sweetest little girl with such bad health I am just so glad we were able to provide her with such a wonderful life, even if it won't be for long. I do hope her health improves because she's such a little angel and we are all very close to her.

Ritzie Bitzie is doing great. He's a little punk He has that shih tzu sweetness, and the typical shih tzu stubborness. He's alot of fun, and him and Cassie are getting along pretty well, although Cassie is mellow and Ritz is a little wild man...sometimes he drives Cassie NUTZ! He is now 3.8 pounds and about 5 months old! What a huge little puppy he is I see them several times a week, and they both are so incredibly cute I almost can't stand it Next time I see them I'll try to get some new pics. My mom, me, Graham, Cassie & Ritz went to a cider mill yesterday. There is a 1,200 acre wooded park across the street from it which we walked part of with the dogs. Ritz was so covered from head to foot in burrs, mud, leaves, and other gunk that it took me 45 minutes to groom him when we got back to my moms house! He is NOT a sporting breed!!! What a mess he was, I wish I had of taken a picture, that little fuzz ball was a royal mess!

Cassie's glad you asked about her. With Graham being such a popular guy, she is always glad to be asked about
