Tiki, dad
Shih Tzu
About Tiki
Tiki is a Love. He loves to play and run. Chasing the ball is his favorite. When the ball rolls away from him, like under the couch or something, he will stand there and start barking until I get up and get it. He knows he is the Man, or so he thinks, but Teddy Albert and Eddie are just as special. Teddy loves to run to see who is here and is the first to get up.
