I'm a furparent myself. I have a soft heart when it comes to pets, most especially to dogs. They're basically my stress reliever. I currently own 2 shih tzus (1 male and 1 female). But the thing is, they're still at the Philippines. It was not an easy decision to leave them but I had no choice because of some financial issues. As a furparent, I was the one in charge of grooming, feeding, playing, walking, and training them. Aside from the two, I also had one shih tzu for 5 years that died due to kidney failure just last year. I gave my best in taking good care of him, med sure I'm always beside him up until his last breath.
