MANILA, Philippines—We got our two Shih Tzus, Corky and Sparky, seven years ago. Sparky belongs to my daughters Reigne and Reigen, while Corky is my younger sister Rissa’s. They’re both male. Actually, they’re brothers. Our helpers take good care of them because my mom loves them dearly. My daughters, however, are allergic to fur, so they can’t play with Corky and Sparky, who are so fat and lovable and affectionate, but very quiet. They’re very sweet dogs. Bayani San Diego Jr.
