Don't ask why because I don't think we even know but we decided to get another dog last week.
Daniel came home from work and told me about a sweet little Shih Tzu that one of his coworkers had found and was caring for. And we both immediately decided that we wanted to bring this dog into our home and love him.
After finding out some things about the breed and what great pets they make we knew for sure Sammy was on his way to the Cobb house. He was neutered, microchipped, given all his shots and a clean bill of health the day before we got him. The vet says he is between 1 year to 2 years old and a pure bred Shih Tzu - which is uncommon to just find wandering considering that people pay SO much for them in the first place.
Here is what he looked like the day we got him. Long, shaggy and all matted up!!
We were concerned about his interaction with Rosco and most importantly with the kids. But there was NO need for concern - he has fit in perfectly. Great with the kids and although he annoys Rosco they get along great! He also figured out the doggie door quickly and we have had no issues with him having accidents or anything. It is like he has been around forever!!
We made a grooming appointment AS SOON as we could (had to wait a little for his sutures to dissolve) and he looks so much happier that he can actually see now!!
And both of the boys on Sammy's bed together!!
(Sorry for the horrible pictures but they were all snapped with the IPhone.
Sammy isn't much for posing so I had to use what I had and make it quick!!)
