This is Maddie. My niece bought her from a pet shop (probably a puppy mill puppy

) a year and a half ago for her kids, who are young teens. She is a pure bred shih-tzu, who will be 2 on February 28th. Of course they now have other interests.

My niece is a school teacher so she is gone most of the day. She felt Maddie was being neglected and decided to find her a new home. She and Ashi are getting along as well as can be expected. Ashi gets a little rough sometimes, thinking she is a bullie.

but all in all they are doing good. She is very difficult to photograph because she won't sit still!
