4 things I love about ...
YOU
After 30 years of having Shih Tzus in my life, in 2009 I adopted a Crested Yorkie (1/4 Chinese Crested, 3/4 Yorkshire Terrier). When I first saw her, my reaction was, She has such a big nose. And, wheres her tail? Ive come to love that big nose and stump for a tail.

see http://www.wolfweb.com.au/acd/stumpforatail.htm

I love her terrier temperament, and all that entails, from barking jags to mischief that she perpetrates only when we are around to witness her devilment. This WAS a full roll of toilet paper.
Fortunately, the terror is toned down by the Chinese Crested in her. I love the little touches of crested white, as seen on her rear paws, chin, and chest.
She has two jobs in the house - guard duty (just ask the mail carrier how well she handles that chore) and greeting the family upon their return to the homestead. I LOVE being showered with puppy kisses, even if Ive only been gone long enough to take out the trash.
A certain TV host touts the benefits of adopting a rescue dog. He continually says, ...and they never forget what you did for them. I used to think, yeah, right. Until - [pointing arrow] came into my life.
BOY WAS HE RIGHT!
