Heidi the Shih Tzu Puppy

Heidi playing with her Bear stuffy October 14th,flipped over by her bed in the living room,napping beside her toys and sitting on the edge of the bed.Last night,Heidi played with her toys,had a few blitzes around the rec room,had a snooze under the stereo then in front of Mom's chair.When it is time for bed,she gets up and goes to mom,I get her and take her out first before putting her to bed.This morning,she woke up at 5 after 6,took her out then in to eat and back out again then had a little play and she went several times down the hall too mom to see if she was up.I tried keeping her with me in the chair,she kept getting down and going down the hall.Once mom,was up ,Heidi goes to greet her,sits with mom as I eat cereal.I put her in her cage,we went to get a new snow shovel,the old one broke,I am sure you people over there Have down a lot of shoveling,you may need snow blowers for what you got,I think towns and cities over there better get snowplows,trucks with blades on them to get the snow off the roads.In our part of Ontario,not much snow at all,west and Northwest of here,been 6 to 7 feet of snow,one highway was shut down due to stranded vehicles and all of them had to be towed out and the people with them were rescue by the Canadian Armed Forces.When we came back,I got her out and then brought her here and she has played and napped,is doing that now.Next Monday,it will 6 years since I first posted here,you people have been great with comments on all our dogs and family and parade pictures,keep it up.hope you all have a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2011.
