Mrs Cotton ~Aka~ Bunny~

Our Special Needs Puppy Mill Rescue Shih Tzu~ when no one would take her ...I did.

She is spayed and is not a breeder~ Of Coarse~


Bunny was our Foster Shih Tzu,She is a real sweet dog! She is 3 legged as her mom chewed her leg and her tail off at birth in the puppy mill where she was born, we have had Bunny several years now and plan on keeping her.
She has been to the vet and had her rabies~ we learned she has heart disease.

She seems just cozy to sleep and be quiet most of the day , with an occasionally "hop around the yard~ The current plan is for her to spend her remaining days with my clan of Hobbits , elves and dwarfs, here at the Shire. She loves to play on the bed and chase your hand under the covers~Bunny is doing great she likes to stay to herself but sometimes I catch her playing a bit with Frodo...

UPDATE 12/07~ Bunny is getting sicker with her Heart Murmer and general health. We will continue to keep her as comfortable as possible.

Tender Heart

A Poem in honor of Bunny

I greet each day inside my cage

And wait for God to write my page

I wonder if you’ll come today?

And let me feel the light of day



My whole life has been dark with pain

And those who caused it--what did they gain?

They stole my trust, my livelihood

And all because they simply could



I yearn to run through scented fields

Without a cage and lock to yield

To chase a squirrel that can't be caught

To earn a love that can't be bought



But the darkest days have a light

In the quiet mornings that follow night

You come to visit every day

Without a motive, without a pay



You carried me when I was weak

Brought trust I was too pained to seek

You healed my wounds that took their toll

You rescued my slowly dying soul



And now I listen for your voice

Knowing that you're here by choice

You didn’t know me at the start

And yet I’m planted in your heart



I’m learning to accept your praise

And not avert my fearful gaze

Forgive me if I cower still

My life has been against my will



I feel that you are growing tired

Within this fight that you’ve been mired

If you can keep your doubts at bay

It would mean the world if you could stay



I can’t predict how this will end

But I know this of you, my friend

You selflessly all played your part

You saved me with your tender heart

This sweet little 3 legged girl has won our heart!

Bunny has found her forever home, here at the Shire!

Gimli was our first Shih tzu~ Is has a special place in our hearts! He is not a breeder~ We have neutered him.

Gimli at 6 weeks

Gimli at 12 weeks
Gimli is our wild child, we love him to death but were very happy we neutered him, as he is not breeding material and is a bit moody, at 18 lbs he is larger than we wanted as a stud, we bought him as a pet and he is a great dog but spoiled rotton! We believe in breeding for the betterment of the breed.

He loves the beach...its his favorite place in the whole world. This is Gimli and Bella with Pat at the beach
Gimli, digging at the beach, loves to chase the seagulls too!
I was named after Gimli...Elf friend, I'am a dwarf
