Our shih-tzu Dayzee recently had her second litter of puppies.  Well, the second litter for us.  Her previous owner told us that she had a litter before we got her but since she was less than two-years-old at the time, I’ve always questioned that claim. Anyways, since Dayzee has had two, possibly three litters, we decided that it was time for her breeding days to be done so we took her to get fixed.  This was not a decision that we...

Well, I was a little worried how Oscar would do with the chickens but he is really good with them. He really doesn’t care about them.
