Alaskan Shih Tzus

I thought shih tzus were from China, originally. Is China a cold country? I really don't know. All I know is at 4 o'clock this morning when I could have been sleeping soundly in my warm bed, I was outside watching a couple of silly pups run around the yard like they were on fire. No lack of energy there! I figure, it's getting colder out - they won't be out long. Yeah...right...a half an hour goes by with me freezing my ass off and they're still having a whee of a time. I can't get the little one to come inside! She's got to be a popsicle!

Now I'm wide awake. I tried going back to bed, but my mind was racing... decided I'd do a little light reading...

Have I mentioned I'm NOT a morning person?
