Elvis has entered the building.

So about our puppy. He is a shih tzu- lhasa apso cross. That is, this is what the breeder claimed. We now know enough to know better. The female shih-tzu has beyond a doubt, gotten her jiggy on with a tibetian spaniel, and the neurotic furbag we now own is the result of that unholy coupling.

There are pictures of the puppy here


Our furbag was not being sold by his breeder because he has a cleft palate. She gave him to us on the agreememnt that we would not breed him. I was statled to find that breeders normally put animals with this defect down after birth. For us, it just makes him look cute (like the one flopped ear of our german sheppard), and long term it might mean a tooth or two needing to be pulled, and he may need his food softened.

He came close to being called bananas (thank you, Gwen Stefani), or Mark, for the tragic joke...but in the end wound up being Elvis.

He owns a sweater, and a judo outfit.

We are still looking for a white rinestoned pantsuit.
