Meet Jasper Marie

Natalia speaking.

This is Miss Jasper Marie.



I think she's pretty gosh darned lovely. You should agree. I mean, what are you going to do, argue with that face?

She's full Shih Tzu. Unregistered, but the parents are purebred, in any case. She's going to be pretty big (for a Shih Tzu) when she grows up -- around 18 pounds. We got her from a neighbor, who's sort of a backyard breeder. Actually, definitely a backyard breeder. Their dogs don't go for walks, they have a run in the backyard. Two dogs. Neither neutered.

Oh my, pregnancy! How unexpected!

In any case, this little darling is one of the results. Love her. (Click to enlarge.)






P.S. My voice doesn't really sound like that!
