Story: This is a little 10 year old Shih-Tzu named Gramps. He is blind, deaf, has arthritis and was abandoned to the shelter. My dad (who we called Gramps) died recently. I found this little dog who was an absolute mess, shy and no telling what his life had been like. My mom who is 85 lives with me. He weighed about 7 lbs when we first got him. Now after 6 months, he weighs about 11 lbs and has slowly come out of his shyness to a family that can make his remaining days full of love.
