(Left) Me with Gigi, New Year's Eve, 1979
Bought her for approximately $50 from the A. Family. They bred SHIH TZU Dogs and kept them in their garage. I remember peering in, and seeing the Parent Doggies leashed, but wagging their tails and barking furiously. Three or four young puppies surrounded them, and they were just as happy to see us.
As is usual with young adults, I got busy so I handed Gigi over to Mom and Dad for care and upkeep. They loved her to bits; and she eventually gave birth to another cute doggie, Roxie.
