Lucky went to his permanent home yesterday. He was a great doggie and our family enjoyed our one week with him. I was sad to see him go, especially when he gave you that "why are you leaving me behind?" look when we dropped him off. But he now has a huge yard to run in, rooming with a similar size black and white shih tzu sister, and a nice doggie neighbor :)
Gizmo was very sad to see him go as well. Lucky helped build up Gizmo's courage with other dogs. At first, Gizmo tucked his tail and was snappy towards Lucky. After three days, they chased each other in circles and played crazy!
Lilo on the other hand was quite happy. She now has Gizmo all to herself. When Lucky and Gizmo play, they were very focused on each other. Lilo wanted to join in a few times but was ignored. So I'm sure she is quite happy to get to play with Gizmo again. Hehe!
Kudos to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue! They offer us many opportunities to help other shih tzu's. (we just love that breed!) Along with meeting other big dogs at the weekly adoption events.

Little Lucky and Gizmo
Little Lucky is the biggest among the three of us. He is so playful and keeps trying to play with Gizmo. We haven't had any foster ever since Gizmo moved in. So he is not used to having other dogs around besides me. I, on the other hand, ignores all the incoming dogs. If I decide to like them, I will play with them more in a week or so. (Just like what I did with Gizmo)
I guess Lucky thinks he and Gizmo are long lost family members...since they are both black and white, despite the size difference.

Little Lucky - The Foster
We have been holding off from fostering since we had just adopted Gizmo in January, and wanted to give him enough time to adjust. (he is finally house trained after 10 weeks! yay!)
But Mirah asked us if we could foster a shih tzu after Sunday's adoption event. How could you say no to a shih tzu?! So we took Little Lucky home yesterday.
Lucky is such a sweetie. He was definitely a house pet before. I wonder how he made his way to the shelter.
He knows his name Lucky, and some basic commands, like sit, no, drop it, off and come. What a smart little guy. He seems house trained and definitely crate trained. He is super friendly and playful, loves squeaky toys. The only time he barks is when people leave the house.
Would you provide Little Lucky a forever home? Check him out on petfinder!

Herbie Update!
Herbie Update!
Claire and Cameron told me the story of Herbie. He had a few rough months living in the wild in Virginia. His former family left him behind when they were forced to move. Herbie was also attacked by other dogs when living on the streets. But he survived the attacks and multiple snow storms here in the mid-atlantic region. Herbie eventually made his way to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue. He is now recovering and rehabilitating so that he can find a family to provide him a safe place to live and never be left behind again!
Check out his blog here at

Herbie along with many other dogs need your kindness. Please consider adopting from your local rescue groups. Both Gizmo and I are rescues. (If you live in MD / DC / VA areas, check out my links on the right on this web site.)

My Lucky Days
When Karen is in rush to leave the house for school, she forgets to push her dining chair in. Those are my lucky days! I would jump on the chair when no one is looking. Open the curtains with my paws. Spend a few hours staring out of the window. I love looking out of the window. Nothing really happens outside, until the mail truck comes. Our kitchen window has the perfect view of the community mailboxes. I would bark at the postman, just to say hi, you know. Gotta have proper manner to be a good canine citizen!
Then my next round of excitement comes at around 3pm, when the school bus arrives and kids walk down the side walk. That's also the time Cameron kicks me off the chair. He says I am being loud and barky. ::sigh:: I go back to laying on the floor.

We're tech-savvy dogs!
Gizmo and I are very technologically advanced dogs! Just this past weekend, we spent some time with Claire and Karen's mom, half way around the world in Hong Kong, through web cam. Maybe one day, we will get to meet her in person.
I have been doing this for quite some time now, so I would say I'm pretty good at this web cam stuff. But this was Gizmo first time. After some much needed training, Gizmo took over the computer.

Me training Gizmo how to work the computer. First we positioned ourselves so both of us fit in the view of webcam.
Gizmo graduated from intro to webcam class and took over the keyboard.

Best Buddies
Lilo and Gizmo's friendship update:
After living under the same roof for 7 weeks, they now share Lilo's apartment.
We are so grateful to have Gizmo in our family. He is such a funny dog. His tongue is too big for his mouth, he snores while awake, he loves ice cubes despite all the shivering. When you talk to him, he always tilts his head. What a cute face!
Lilo and Gizmo play every day. The only other dogs Lilo played with were Cody (bichon across the street) and Angel (mini poodle in my neighborhood). Even though we live on the same street, we don't always see each other. And Lilo didn't have much luck playing with our mini schnauzer fosters. They simply weren't interested in Lilo. I'm glad we finally find a dog that Lilo likes and enjoys being around.
