I have owned animals my entire childhood, but over the last 20 years I have had the pleasure of having a shi zu "Benny", for 5yrs. Then after 2yrs mourning his loss along came my absolute delightful "Gizmo" also a shi zu but X with a maltese whose as 13yrs still going strong and that is the only thing I have loved so deeply and have much to spare to help others with their own fur babies or fin babies.....
