Gidget Shih Tzu Springfield, MO

Ready to hit the beach? I am!!! I am ready to really live it up and have some fun! My name is Gidget and the last 6 years of my life were spent doing basically the complete opposite of kicking back and enjoying the sand and the sun...I was used to breed puppies and lived my whole life in a yucky kennel. But now...NOW, I get to start living! I do have a long road ahead of me before I will really open up fully and relax, but I am getting there. I am just a little Shih Tzu girl who is pretty shy and timid. Each day I am getting better and better. I am working on my potty training and I'm great in a crate. I have recently mastered the art of climbing stairs, but I'm still working on walking down the stairs...I'll get there soon I'm sure. I need leash work because that contraption is also completely new to me. So, I would need someone willing to work with me on these skills and to show me all the love in the world! I think I would like a nice calm family, without a lot of commotion (so no kids/teens). I am new to this whole "being loved" and "living life to the fullest" thing, so things scare me. I need someone with lots of patience and understanding to just love me to pieces and show me all the wonderful things this world has to offer! Maybe someday we can even work on our tans together while we relax on a beach!
