So, we have a new member of our family. His name is Truman...and he is a Shih Tzu. He is adorable!!!
After a lot of research we decided that we were really looking for a Shih Tzu. They are really good with kids and dogs, they don't shed, and they are companion dogs. We decided to look slowly, and I put out a few feelers to some breeders...low and behold we heard from one that they knew a woman who had bought a pup but couldn't keep him. (she has 5 kids, including a 3 week old!) We met them yesterday, and it looked good, but we came back today to take him for a vet check. The vet report was excellent. He not only was in excellent health, but his personality was a real winner too! We decided to take him! We took him to get groomed, where his sweet personality was again praised. We drove to Boston to introduce him to the family, and we are home now for our first night together. Here are some pics of our new guy, named after Truman Capote (a small, slightly silly, slightly full of himself, but utterly charming man.)
Truman loves his new toys.
We got him shaved, and he looks cute but so much tinier!
I am sure there will be a lot more of the Truman show on the blog!
