What is your pet’s name?
Teddy
What is the breed of your pet?
Teacup Shih Tzu
How was your pet’s name chosen?
When my grandson first saw him, he said he looked like a little teddy bear. We hadn’t chosen a name because he never answered to anything we had chosen. As soon as my grandson said Teddy, he looked at him. We felt like he was showing us he liked that name. And it stuck…but his nickname is Fabio because he shakes his hair all the time as if to put it back in place.
Does your pet have a favorite walking route?
He has been in a class learning to be a good citizen and he seems to love prancing through the store where the training is taking place. He also loves being outside playing and rolling around in the grass, too! Usually always brings in a few leaves tangled in his coat.
What’s the most embarrassing thing your pet has ever done?
Left a doggie bomb on the floor of a cell phone store.
Does your pet have a pet peeve? If so, what is it?
His pet peeve is being left alone in a room while I have to go somewhere he can’t. He thinks he is always supposed to go with me!
If your pet could answer any question, but just one, what would you ask?
Are you frustrated that you can’t talk? He looks at me and communicates with his eyes as if he is trying to tell me something and is very good at leading me to what he wants with his body language.
