My dog Wally passed away on November 24th 2012. I had Wally for 16 1/2 years. He outlived his life expectancy for a Shih Tzu.
Wally brought me so much enjoyment to my life. No matter if I was gone for 5 minutes or 8 hours he always greeting me and jumping up to say hi daddy. He always loved getting treats from my mouth. He had so much spunk in him.
The day he passed away in my arms I felt like my heart had been ripped apart. Wally always jumped in my lap and just loved to be petted and give kisses. I will forever be grateful having had a loving dog like Wally. I love you Wally.
