Alex has been a friend as well as devoted pet.. His first name was given due to his "I will kick your butt attitude" which gave us the idea of of naming after Alexander the Great !!! He was the ruler of the house His middle name Kahlua was chosen due to the color of his fur, he reminded us of Kaluha and Cream ( Drink, of course ) Alex was a devoted friend and protector, for a Shih Tzu ,he displayed "Big Dog Syndrome" and never backed down ... he was not a foo foo dog Alex is resting in peace and probably chasing some poodles around We miss you Alex Love Mommy and Daddy
