"Karen, This is why you socialize pups!"
Johnna, Liberty,MO
We have been raising pups for many
years. Today I was pleasantly surprised to receive this letter (although
sad).
We are glad to advise our customers for as long as you own our dog.
I may never meet you personally, but I remember your name.
This dogs sire was my very first Sire: Dunlap's Little Tiger.
I advised her to read
www.gloryridge.com/CDS.htm

P.S. Here is her picture I just took of her. She still looks good for
15 doesn't she? I think her mom was golden and her dad had Tiger in his
name.

Dear Karen,
With love, Rikki Dominque
Jacques, Dene', Elle, Phu, and Ming! :)

Hello Karen, Happy New Year to you and yours! I just wanted to
give you a quick update on "the boys" Real show stoppers they are. The are such
Great Buddies and Companions not only to us but to each other! I am so happy and
grateful that we have the two of them. I can't imagine what
life would be like for one another had we not decided to get them both. The
trainer who told me I was wrong for getting them at the same time
was an Idiot!!! Now, with that said let me tell you a little about Gus..He is so
confident and loving. His beautiful eyes are soulful and
he doesn't take any crap from any dog any size! I take them to the dog park and
he will run after the BIG dogs like he is one himself. Now
Taylor on the other hand looks to be a rascal but is as sweet as they come. They
are learning to become real gentlemen and accomplishing
allot in the short time we have had them. We love them so much, thank you for
breeding such amazing animals!! Sheri & Nathan Krinsky

Quoting Hughie65@aol.com:
Hi Karen,
I just wanted to give you an update on how our little Nadia is doing.
Nadia is doing wonderfully, she's about 8 pounds, her hair has lightened
up a bit (sad to see some of her brown spots fade away but thats expected when
Shih-Tzu's get older). Nadia has an upcoming birthday, she is going to be 4
years old on March 9th (Nadia was purchased in April 2004. Sire: Hunka Burn N
Luv / Dam: Ching Ching). Nadia is as happy as can be, she loves to play fetch,
she loves squeaky toys, she loves going for walks in the park and she
especially loves playing with her older brother (brother not by Gloryridge).
We take her everywhere with us, including vacations and she's quite the show
stopper on the street, so many people stop us when we are walking by and
comment all the time on how beautiful she is. My husband loves her, they've
formed a special bond, she's definitely daddy's little girl.
Thank you again for sending us our Nadia who's been a wonderful little
blessing.
Happy Holiday and God Bless you.
Sincerely,
Elena Palau-Stewart

Tribute To Cozmo
Who died from the poisoned dog food recalled.
|
|
SO LONG MY FRIEND Storme “Cozmo” Saphire

It
was a stormy, rainy, dreary day, when we decided to head to
When we arrived there was a grayish dark faced fur ball that was just doing every thing she could to catch our eye. Her little puppy kisses never ended, and we fell in love with her puppy breath. That cold rainy dreary day turned into a bright beautiful day, we found our baby, Cozmo came home with us. She was such a bundle of joy. So full of love, and so smart, ready to rule the roost.
Cozmo taught Betty to love animals again, when I would go out of town for work, she would show Betty comfort, never leaving Bettys side. They would lie in bed together and eat gummy bears together. Betty would give Cozmo the ones she didn’t like, and Cozmo would gladly help her out.
When she had to go meet her maker, we stayed with her, holding her in her bed with her little baby Pammy which we gave her the day we brought her home. Ours was the last touch she felt and the last voices whispering in her ears of how much love we felt for her, when she took her last breath. When we sent her to be cremated her “bad baby” Pammy and bed were also done with her so she will have them for eternity.
PS
From Karen:
Linda and Betty also have 3 other Glory Ridge Dogs:

Scarlett (rear) Stella (front)
and recently I gave them poor little "Star" who got sick from
a vaccine fought to stay alive. I am sure under their loving care she will
live a long life! Here she is when they took her home after a 2 month
battle I had to get her to eat after the shot reaction.
6/4/07 She gained a pound...

Thank you so much for the little bundle of love,
she is so sweet, very loving. We will take very good care of her, she is a
little angel sent from God.

Subject : Congratulations - Reunion

Dear Karen,
Congratulations on 20+ years in the Shih Tzu business, and 10 years on the Internet! I have attached some pictures of my Glory Ridge cuties for your page. We are just in love with our boys. We are constantly telling each other how lucky we are to have such wonderful dogs in our family. They are a true joy.
We got Merlin (Doo X Reilly - Oct. 04) and Scooter (Jazzy X Burnie - Oct. 04) together, in December 2004. It was a great idea to get 2 at the same time. They played and wrestled each other, like we never could with them separately. We lost Scooter when he was 8 months old due to a "technical error" at the vet's office. We got Sirius (Jazzy X Stymie - June 05) a couple weeks after Scooter passed, and he has made his presence known. He is our little clown. He has recently started "popping" his butt up, while giving a little bark, to get ours or Merlin's attention. It's a signal that it's time to play. It's pretty funny. They both love to tease our older Corgis and try to get them to play too. As they are senior girls, they're not very interested. :^)
Since finding Glory Ridge and being able to talk to you when we've needed information, and such, we would always consider coming to you first, when ever getting another dog.
Thank you so much for your wonderful "Sweet-tzus", your honesty and help.
God bless,
Anne & Mark Saulter
Durham, NC

Hi Karen - I just had to send pictures of our sweet Toby and tell you we couldn't be happier with him. He is 3 1/2 years old and is the KING of our house, but in the best of ways. He loves every person, every animal, and every new thing, but at night he wants to snuggle up in one of our laps. He is the most loving, sweetest, and most gentle dog you could ever imagine. Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs - I can't imagine not having him in my house. Mary Jarrells

Hi Karen-
We bought Cotton from you in May 2004. She has been such a pleasure!!! Cotton has a great disposition and is constantly getting comments about how cute and well behaved she is. We can't thank you enough for providing us such a quality shih-tzu. We will definitely buy our next dog from you!
Thanks again,
Julie and Phil Lloyd

My ever so loving Beau and Fancy from Rigoletto and LaFaminia 12-17-04. They are so little and adorable, my Grandchildren love them as much as we do!! They are over 2 years old and I have NEVER EVER EVER heard them growl, in anger or otherwise. They have NEVER Snapped or opened their mouths to bite, EVER!! I find that utterly amazing! My 3 and 4 year old grandchildren, pick them up, cart them around in their grocery carts, pull their hair to get a better grip on them(I try to keep them from it) and what do these wonderful pups do???? They run away from them as fast as they can and when they find no one if coming for them, they start jumping in front of the kids to say here I am again!!! They are loving and only look for our love in return. Thanks for such wonderfully bred personalities and little toy wind up jumping jacks! Beau is probably 5 lbs and she is probably about 8. Beaus black coat is incredible and turning brown in the front which only adds to his wonderful character. He sounds like a monkey dog when he wants our attention! He talks to us and trys to speak english, but still has a ways to go LOL. I can talk about them for hours. Fancy is my tiny feline dog LOL....I think she would purr if she could. I dont think they have changed a bit since their 8 month pictures in your letters of 05. I still read your site daily and cant wait to view the new litters and watch them grow. Its what keeps your web site so wonderful and keeps me coming back to it. God Bless you and your family for the trials and tribulations you have been through this last year. Please thank your son-in-law for fighting and helping keep our country free. Tell him Welcome home!

| From: Sherri Palmer To: gloryridge@myturbonet.com Subject: reunion Hi from Kirksville Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 21:06:50 -0500 Hi Karen! Raven is 5 years old and the most wonderful boy I could ever imagine. He's been with us on a road trip across the country and even to Germany for 2 weeks. He stayed in his Sherpa bag under the seat like a little angel for the entire flight. We now have three cats and they seem to think he is a cat and they all curl up together to sleep. Raven's favorite thing now is my 3 month old granddaughter. Congratulations on your anniversary and continued success. Sherri Palmer, Kirksville Missouri Mom of Ravenclaw of Glory Ridge born 12-13-01

Hi Karen, Just checking your site and saw Dottie's and Murphy's birthday picture on your available puppy page. Dottie is 7 years old now. She has been a delight and loves being back in Indiana. Dottie has been very healthy and since we keep her coat long, she gets many comments from neighbors when we walk.
