Meadowlyns Dream Shih Tzu
Where Your Shih Tzu Dreams Come True!
Hello my name is Lynn. My main job is to keep up the website for a fmaily based hobby and also oversee all deliveries as I am the one who has the most experience, and being a family joint hobby, this is my contribution. I also have the most computer experience. It has been a nice way to keep involved with my parents and children who also help by having a dog, or two as pets. I use my spare time to learn all that I can to keep up to date on the state of the art testing and also spend time studying Pedigrees. I have always been in love with animals of all kinds. As a child, I lived in a home filled with every type of pet you could imagine. I had horses, cows, ducks, rabbits, dogs, cats, and anything else that needed a home or care. The only animals I cannot tolerate are snakes and spiders! I saw the miracle of birth over and over and was taught to love and respect our great creatures. In my adulthood, I went on to raise 5 healthy children who are now grown. I am now free to devote my time once again to a passion of mine, caring for pets. My love for the Shih Tzu came by pure accident. I was asked to foster a rescued Shih Tzu who was in dire need of medical care and love. She was missing most of her hair and was so infested with parasites that it was touch and go if she was going to make it at first. After her medical care, she was sent home with me to nurture her until she could be healthy enough to be placed in a permanent home. Well, you know how that story went. I named her Meadow, I bought her a collar, I bought her a name tag with my address, I bought her clothes.....so who was the dog going to after I had helped her regain her hair and her health? ME! So, I loved that little dog with all my heart. She was a joy, loving, intelligent and a perfect lady. What more could I ask for? It was then that I gained a respect for the incredibly lovable and intelligent breed. Meadow has passed on now. She succumbed to liver failure. The vet said she was at least 12 years old. She will forever remain in my heart. I dedicate this website and my new life as a Shih Tzu hobby breeder to her. Meadow, God Bless and may you rest in peace......
I live in a small town and recently read an article about our town and the town was compared to "Mayberry" from days of olde. It's very true. Our downtown is very small. The center focus is a large and very nice park. I live just houses away from the mayor, who is a woman. I love my little town. It is clean, friendly and beautiful with an awesome view of Mt. Rainier. I'll take my adult dogs in groups of 3-4 out for a walk. Everything is walking distance. We will often walk to the Post Office as I have no mail delivery on my street. We only have 1 fast food restaurant in town and most of the eating establishments have been here for years and the food is GOOD. For those dogs who can't make the little jaunt into town, I have a stroller so they get their walks into town also. I've always lived just on the outskirts of Seattle and worked downtown so this was a big change for me. I am so happy here. There are many community activities and you never meet a stranger. It's like going back in time. I feel lucky to have found my little peace of heaven.
How it all Started...
This is a picture of my vet, here in town, doing a check up on Tess, one of my gals to make sure that all is well before I consider breeding her. I've found a great vet in this town who I consider part of my breeding program. I've learned much from him and with his direction, I'm able to take excellent care of all of my dogs. He is very caring and it is obvious how much he cares for his patients.
