Olive (Shih Tzu)

Olive is almost a 2 year old Shih Tzu mix. The mother of a coworker adopted a puppy and turned out not to have the time necessary to properly take care of her. She was going to give her to a shelter, but I said I'd foster her, then I couldn't part with her.

She likes going to the p-a-r-k. She knows about a dozen tricks. We hope to get certified as a therapy pet soon, so we can visit nursing homes and hospitals and lift spirits.
