Christmas In July for Shih tzu Dog

Last night as I was holding Sophie before bedtime, I mentioned the word Christmas to my family. She was almost asleep and she looked at me as if to say "what?" It is amazing the intelligence of this dog. Knowing how much she loves Christmas, we began talking about opening presents and Christmas in general. She listened intently. As we began our morning routine, I noticed she had something on her mind. She followed me around, looking up at the countertops (that is where her presents were last year before we decorated). Then she scratched on the door leading into the living room where we had put her presents near the fireplace. She has her little ways of communicating....it is left up to us to figure it out. This explained why she didn't sleep well. I had to come up with something that would satisfy her. I had no new toys, so I found some of her old toys that had been put away . Thinking maybe she wouldn't notice since she hadn't played with them lately, I thought I could pull this off. I couldn't have been more wrong. As you can see, just opening the present is a treat for her. BTW this was the first time she had seen this present. We called out to her to come see her Christmas present. She remembered where they were last Christmas.

=) You need a dog like this! This is my second...my first lived to be 19. If it's not a shih tzu, it's just a dog. This is true. These little creatures are just little people....very intelligent. I ♥ them all.

The most amazing thing is this was the first time she had seen this present. We called out to her to come see her Christmas present. She remembered where they were last Christmas.
