Shih Tzu Tales
By
*Little Lion*

I am Tippy Shih Tzu aka Little Lion.

Nice to meet you all.

Here I am on guard looking fierce in my

Super Hero outfit ready to answer any call.

I was born on Halloween in 2011.

I was a very tiny puppy.

My mistress says, I am her wee lion
a ballet dancer & jester in disguise
and a little Charlie Chaplin clown,
because I make people laugh.

My ancestry is beautifully explained on

My mistress wrote a song about me in 2015.

This was before a different groomer
cut me bald and I had to wear a winter coat.
Everyone hardly recognized me.

My mistress almost cried when she saw me.
I think she was in shock when she said:
“They turned my little country boy
into a country-city boy!”
She loves me very much and so do I.

Luckily my hair is growing back quickly.

My present mistress is my second mistress.
My first mistress was called to heaven.
Her family could not take care of me.

A few weeks a young lady cared for me
before she drove me to stay with her Mom.
Since than she has visited me a few times.
We live many kilometers away from each other.
Lucky for me the young lady has a brother,
for a while he is staying with us.

He is fun! He lets me free to be me!
When he walks me I can dash around on a
very long leash. I love it!
Even in the snow I jump high and low.

My mistress takes me on long and short walks.
Sometimes I roll around in the snow.
I like that very much, too.
She fancies my black leather bow tie leash.

When my mistress walks me I pull her along.
So she has to walk pretty fast.
She is a good sport and I help, too.
Yep, I do, so she can get back her breath,
I stop at every tree we meet. He-he!

My mistress is writing a second song
about my trip to the groomer.

I am very curious to hear it.

That’s all for now!

To follow my Story Book adventures,
tune in on Saturdays!

Grrr… have a great weekend.
