My Name is
Jeepers. I was born into a litter of 6
Shih Tzus on August 15, 2007. When I was
eight weeks old I went to live with my new friends Roger, Bob, and Rod. I was very small. I remember the guys being real careful not to
step on me. I liked my new home.
One day I was outside
playing on the terrace. I found a small
hole that I could go through, so I went exploring. I ended up chasing cars on Water Street. It was fun and scary. A car stopped and a lady grabbed me and took
me away. She took me to a vet far away
on Lake Road. I missed my guys and
wasn’t happy. The guys hunted for me all
day and night. They were out looking for
me all the next day. Finally they found
me. They were kissing me and crying at
the same time. We were back together!
January of 2008 I got
really sick and had to go to Cornell. I
had a small piece of bone caught in my throat and more bones in my stomach. I
had the sliver removed from my throat, and then had an operation to clean out
my stomach. I stayed at Cornell for a
week. When I got home the guys started
making me my own special food. I still
eat it today; roast chicken, rice, peas, and carrots.
Today my life is
really nice. I take an hour long walk
every morning down by the river. If it
is warm, I like to sit in the river and cool off. I have seen eagles while on my walk. During the day I like to sleep on my chair
with my favorite stuffed animal. Most
days I bark to tell the guys I am ready for my daily ride in the car. Sometimes I walk in Eldridge Park, and other
times I walk at the park in Big Flats.
In the evening I watch tv with Roger and Bob for a while and then fall
asleep in a chair. I am carried upstairs
and sleep on my feather pillow at the top of the bed.
I really like the
guys' kisses, and they love playing with me.
We have a great life together!
Love,
Jeepers
