Flower Bandit Tifanny

Flower Bandit Tifanny, my little Butterfly Dog, the sweetest and happiest little Shih Tzu anyone could ever meet. Your little face brought smiles to all who met you. Children adored you and you them...kissing them noses and toes and climbing into baby strollers just to get closer. Your gentleness was even felt by butterflies who would gladly climb all over you-even your mouth and give YOU kisses! You lived with Lymphoma for eight months-never complaining through the chemotherapy sessions and instead, giving the techs and vets kisses each and every time. Your joy for living continued throughout your entire short time here on Earth-you made it to your 8th birthday having kayakked rivers, walked on beaches, hiked through canyons and mountains throughout California, Oregon, and Washington, spent time at many surfer beach parties...loved visiting and making 'grandma' with her Alzheimer's feel better...you were an Angel before you became a Guardian Angel to all. Your presence and story on Dogster helped heal and inspire others. Your spirit will carry on in the many children who will become scientists as a result of your gentle and loving nature with butterflies, the dogs AND cats who were healed as a result of your joyful living...Not one soul wasn't touched by you. We love you and miss you but know that you are still with us and are watching over us each and every second of the day. Thank you for being on Earth for the time we had. We love you dearly, Mama & Daddy
