Shih Tzu, 12 Weeks old
My favourite thing about Cooper is...
How chilled he is.
The biggest challenge with Cooper is...

The most surprising thing about owning a Shih Tzu is...
How they follow you around, but have independence too.
What I wish I’d known about Shih Tzus is...
Nothing.

Buddha kissed the dog upon the forehead in thanks, giving it a little white mark.
