Hi,                ~Chloe & Petie ~
    All is well with the new puppies...They are all growing up to have such
great personalities.  They three of them get along so well now.  Here's 
a great picture of the three of them.  I think Chloe is going to be tan 
with a black face because of the coloring coming up underneath the gray.  As
soon as she gets her next shots on Thursday.  They are getting their 
hair cut.  So I'll send more pictures soon.  My mom loves Petie.  Thanks for
the money order.  Talk to you soon.  Ashley (2006) (Long Island)
          ~ Lily & Keiko ~     Second Puppy from Anne's Puppies

         They get along fantastic. Picture 4, she’s all pooped out! She is growing like a weed, isn’t she? They were both groomed last Monday, but you would never know it…they play so hard that the bows don’t last long! We are enjoying her so much. I am trying to talk a fellow co-worker into an “anne’s puppy” , but they are considering a standard poodle YUK! I told her a Shih Tzu is a much better choice, they don’t shed, are not yappy...(like poodles..) and just better all round…oh well, she will have to learn the hard way. Take care, God Bless, Tom

                             ~ Prince ~

Hi-
Just wanted to let you know that Turf (Prince) is doing so well.
Eating, sleeping and playing well, and going on newspaper!
We, too, believe that God led us to just the right pup for our family.
Please tell your mom that we were blessed to read her testimony.

We  love Jesus, too. Blessings-Jeanie


     ~ Jingles ~

Jingy joined our family in July 2000. He was 3 months at the time. He is such a wonderful pup.  Jingy  is such a smart and loving little guy.  He has made our family complete.
He goes everywhere with us  and does everything we
 do. He is a member of our family not a pet. We love him so and feel like he has been with us forever.  We
are also very proud to say that Jingles was in the
2004 DOG FANCY CALENDAR. How excited we were. Laura,  Congrats to you and your Mom for breeding such super  Shih Tzu's.  Keep up the good work.   Brenda & Jingles

         Handsome boy and the biggest ham I've ever seen. 

            Good evening. Well today is my birthday and I am 6 years old. Where did the time go? My family had a cake for me today, but unfortunately I am on a special food diet and could not have any. Oh well it's the thought that counts! Tomorrow (Sunday) I am getting together with my sister Martha for a little celebration. Not a HUGE party like last year. A few close friends and family. I will send you pictures. Have a nice day tomorrow.     JINGY  (2006)

                            I'm so in love with him  :)        

                          ~ Martha Rose ~

Jingles and Martha are from the same litter. These two people just met each other and started talking about their dogs. Wow, soon they realized they where from the same liter. Now, the two share  Birthdays together  5 years old. Original Anne's puppy from Rainy (more pictures in photo albums)  The families have even met up with  another sibling.

        It was a fun reunion this summer (2005). I was left with a warm feeling when I saw tears in your eyes –You said my babies. It showed the care you had given to the pups and what they meant to you. Martha came into my life when I was at a low point. My priest suggested a dog- he been a dog lover. Martha Rose was the pup for me when I picked her up she left her mark on my shirt. You could say she picked me. We walk at a local collage- students pet her and the ones away from home tell me about their animals. This is where I met Jingles (Martha Roses’ brother) and his family. This has turned into a wonderful friendship.       Martha Rose waits for me on good days when I go to Mass. The folks all look for her- she brings a smile to their faces. She loves people and company to visit us.  My sister Mae is in a nursing home, when we go to visit the residents seem to perk up and smile. Mae calls her, Miss Personality. She is not a dog but a real person. Needless to say Laura, I could go on and on about the joy that Martha Rose has brought to my life.

 Thank-you for doing such a good job- at not an easy task. Barbra R

                      ~ Zoe ~

   Zoe went to the vet today...she's healthy. She weighs 3lbs now... they said she looks great and she does... I'll attach a newer picture of her to this email!     Sarah

                                   ~ Stella ~

 I purchased a seven month old puppy from Anne 
about 3 and a half years ago.  She's doing 
wonderful!  I've attached a picture of Stella, who has
become my other half.  I don't even consider 
her a pet...she's like a child :)  I'm wondering 
what brand of dog food you recommend.  I couldn't 
remember what she was eating when I got her from Anne. 
Answer: We use Pro Plan (Now) for the past few years, 
before that we feed Sensible Choice. Both are excellent. Thank,     Tanya 
 
							

                           ~ Dallas & River ~

My little boy is like my baby so sweet and loving great temperament, he likes to play but if your in the mood to just cuddle he will love you right back he is just so sweet it is really to hard to put into words when I come home he greets me but not with barking he will jump up and down like here, I am. They are just great big hearts covered in fur and I do know when it is time for another I will be getting it from Sonshine Shih Tzus. They have beautiful fur babies; they are perfect in everyway from there looks to their heart. I think they are just a wonderful and have filled my families life with joy...(2005 Angie)

This dog is Blue and the coloring takes many stages to change and become so beautiful.

Just wanted to say thanks for our second  baby,  Angela

                                                     ~ Sally ~
 
        We just wanted to share our little prize Shih Tzu with you.  We visited Anne three years ago this July.  We purchased our Shih Tzu for our daughter's third birthday.  She has brought us so much joy.  Every where we go, everyone asks us where did we get her and very fast and very proud we announce Anne's puppies.  Everyone comments on how she is smaller than their or other Shih Tzu's they meet, again we proudly say that's because she is an Anne's Puppy.  Sally is her name and she has the best temperament.  Her personality is so adorable.  We can't imagine life without her

        She enjoys morning walks to the bus stop with our 12 year old son and even our 17 year old son looks for her after school or when we bring her to pick him up from school.  Sally goes just about everywhere with us.  Elisabeth is our daughter and she just adores Sally and Sally just adores Elisabeth.  They are always together, when Elisabeth comes home from school.  Mom and Dad enjoy her too.  When Dad comes home she is happy to play with him too, to lift his spirits from a busy day.  Sally will follow me throughout the house when we're home alone and rest in the room where mom is cooking or working.  Sally also enjoys snuggling with mom on the couch for a rest from their busy day.  The cats, which we had before Sally enjoy the entertainment too.  Sally will listen for them and then pounce around in a half circle to interact with them.  The cats will look for Sally to engage in the entertainment.(2005)

 
            Here is a photo of Elisabeth's first look at Sally in Anne's house.  Thank you for brightening our lives.

   ~ Camie Marie ~  My parents owned an Anne's Puppy and we wanted one just like theirs.  
    Just wanted to send a note to let you know that Camie Marie is doing very good!!  It took her two nights to get settled in.  She has such a happy go lucky attitude and has made herself right at home and part of the family.
    We decided to crate her at night in our room and during the day she is in her play pen.  She is doing well with the wee pads and newspaper.  We are not yet sure if we are going to have her go potty outside or just use the wee pads.  We live on a very busy corner and just don't want to take a chance.
     Thanks so much for all of your help and as soon as I can figure out how use the digital camera, I will send you some pictures of her!  Do you still have the picture of us when we picked her up? Thanks again,
Michelle (2006)

  ~  Tinkerbell  ~

     Tinkerbell has been with me 6 weeks now and what a joy, she is. She's very bright and a quick learner. She can go up the stairs I bought to get on the couch. My sister made her an antique "Tinkerbell" bedding for her to nap on when she sleeps at night. My mom is considering getting a puppy from you- going to show her the next litter, when they arrive. She babysat for 5 days and did not want to give her back to me. Laura ( New Hartford, NY)

         I don't blame her for wanting to keep Tinkerbell, she is a precious girl.

           ~ Barley ~

        Hope your Christmas was Merry. I just wanted to let you know Alfredo (now known as Barley) with Alfredo being his middle name is doing just great; this little guy just fits right in with our family. He is an absolute joy to have in our home and is loved very much.

      P.S. I’ve given your name to our vet in case they know someone looking for a Shih Tzu. He thought Barley was a sturdy well bread puppy.           Thank You for the little guy.
