MY GIRL, HONEY
February 28, 2025
I never thought I wanted a dog. I always loved them, but the idea of taking on another big responsibility felt overwhelming.
Then, my two boys moved out, and my mom passed away. That was such a dark time. I knew it was the perfect time, and I was ready for a new adventure.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. A dear friend—a well-known dog trainer in NYC—gave me some of the best advice. When she asked what I was looking for in a dog, I described my ideal companion. She smiled and said, “You want a Shih Tzu.” She also warned me never to buy a puppy from a pet store. I usually take good advice.
But then came that day on Lexington Avenue. As I passed a pet shop, I saw her—Honey—sitting in the window. In that moment, I knew. I couldn’t just walk away. There was my girl!
Honey became part of our family 12 years and nine months ago, and she changed our lives for the better. She is smart, sweet, adorable, and incredibly obedient. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with Renal disease, yet both of her vets are amazed at how well she’s doing. Honey is a fighter, and at this point with all the ups and downs, she is somewhat of a miracle dog! . She has taught me patience, and she has given our whole family nothing but unconditional love.
We are so lucky to have her and experience that kind of love. I never want our time together to end. Honey is the sweetest soul, and when she’s gone, I will miss her every single day…
