This is Chewbacca…

but he goes by Chewey usually, which would imply that Chewey is obedient. Chewey is my two-year-old baby boy. I bought Chewey for my girlfriend, but after our seven year relationship abruptly ended in January of 2024, I got him in the “divorce”.

Have I mentioned that Shih Tzu’s are recalcitrant? The breeder made no mention of this little fact, as he continued to discount the price of Chewey in a manner that made me think of the last piece of “fine art” I purchased from a Mexican street vendor.

I often wonder what that breeder does when he isn’t peddling four-legged-pains-in-my-ass. I’ve had less pressure during a timeshare presentation. I’d like to think karma has found him in the form of a malcontent wife.

Despite our difficulties from time to time, the truth is that Chewey has actually saved my life in the year he’s been alive, which looks pretty good on his resume.

Chewey is highly intelligent and has mastered all of these tricks.
