From the first time I saw you, you melted my heart. I was very proud to say that I was "owned" by my 10 lb Shih-Tzu and oh how true! I had so many hopes and dreams for us but just not enough time to fulfill them all. We set out in the Rally world in January 2006. That was when we earned our very first title ever. It was so exciting! By October 2006 we had managed to came in as the #2 Shih-Tzu to ever earn an ARCH title! I was so very proud of you. You were a lot of "firsts" for me. It was you that has made me the handler that I am today. You taught me so much. I have now past down what I learned to your sister Ali who I am sure you have been watching and are very proud of. The emptiness that I have in my heart is now filled with the ALL the memories that we shared during your precious 2 1/2 years of life. You fought to the end, for me I know. But then you knew when it was time to go. I will never ever forget you. I love you and miss you each and every day. Rest now my sweet Adrianne until we meet again...........
