Our Shih-tzu Family
Benjamin - "Our Stud"
Benjamin first came to live with us on April 15, 2005.
We picked him out of his litter because he had the
best coat of any of the puppies in his litter. We named
him Benjamin, because when Daddy was leaving the
breeders house after we first picked him up he said, "I
just put down a lot of Benjamin's for this dog" and the
name just stuck. Benjamin has a wonderful
temperament. His best friend is our former neighbor's
dog, a yellow lab...Benjamin thinks he's one of the "big
dogs". His hobbies include, napping with Daddy on
the couch, riding in the stroller, chasing Cabella in the
house and sticking his head out the window in the car.

Tiffany - One of our Mama's
Starbuck - One of our Mama's
Tiffany first came to live with us on June 3, 2005.
When we went to visit the breeder the first time we
actually couldn't decide between the two girls, left
in the litter, so we bought both right then and there.
Tiffany got her name because Mommy's favorite
store is Tiffany & Co. Tiffany is the "Princess" of
the group and yet she also seems to be the leader
of the pack most of the time too. She is so sweet
and lovable. Her hobbies include riding on the
dashboard in the car (when she was smaller),
watching television with Mommy, napping in her
playpen with Starbuck and playing with Benjamin,
Starbuck and Cabella. Click to see more pictures

Like Tiffany, Starbuck came to live with us on June 3,
2005. Starbuck got her name because the kids,
Brittany and Steven, love to go to Starbucks. Starbuck
is the timid one of the group and until Cabella came
along she filled the roll of the baby of the house. She
always has to be by Tiffany - I had a hard time finding
pictures where she wasn't with Tiffany because she
always wants to be near her. Her favorite hobbies are
cuddling with Daddy on the couch, napping on her
back, barking at the squirrels in the backyard and
taking "her" toys away from Cabella. Click to see

Cabella - One of our "Retired" Mama's
Cabella came to live with us on October 29, 2005.
Cabella, or Bella as she's known around the house,
got her name from the famous hunting and fishing
store (Daddy's hobbies). She is the baby of the
bunch and with that certain things just come
naturally - like being picked on by the other three,
getting the hand me down toys and being babied
the most - which in turn makes her the laziest I think.
But she has learned quickly and she can certainly
hold her own - but when all else fails she runs to
Mommy to save her. She is the life of the party and
has the most outgoing and lively personality of all
four of our dogs. Bella's hobbies include chewing
on everybody's slippers, playing fetch, going on
walks to the post office and being lazy. Click to see
