Hi, My name is Teresa. I the Grandmother of 7 and the proud mother of 2 daughters, and the blessed mother of Lance; Sir Lancelot. My 2 youngest grandson call me "Grandma with Lancie". My name is never mentioned... just Lancie's. He goes everywhere with me and I honestly think he doesn't know he's a dog. He's just part of the family; one of the grandkids, I guess. I've had ShihTzus since I was in my teens. I decided to breed 10 years ago. That's when Lance came into my life. I'm not a very good breeder. I wanted to keep all the puppies and the parents. My house was full for a while!! But Lance is quite special. I cut his umbilical cord when he was born, so I guess I am like a Mom to him. I treat all my pets like that, though. I rescued a puppy last summer in OK. Someone had left she, her brother and her Mom in a box on the side of the road. I gladly donated $150 to the shelter in a small town called Vinita, and on July 4th, received a little black and white ball of fluffy love to bring back to OH. Her name is Piper and she lives with my 2 youngest grandsons... they fell in love with her. My point here is, if you are looking for someone to care for your pet, you'll never find anyone with a bigger, kinder heart. I will treat your pet like my own. There is nothing greater in this world than the gift of love. And that's exactly what you get from your pet. I can guarantee your pet will receive nothing but love at my home.
