Look at this handsome fellow! His name is Li and he has been with us before. Li was placed in a home in September 2002. Since then the couple has divorced and Li was living with his dad. Now his dad has remarried and moved to a new home and decided Li should be an outside dog. Li didn't react positively to that change - as well he shouldn't have!

Li is a beautiful black brushcoat with a big smushy face. He's well behaved and good with other dogs. He's healthy, current on vaccinations, neutered and on heartworm prevention.

Li is a wonderful pet and loves to be around people.

UPDATE 11/13/05: Li went to his new home on Saturday and he is adjusting very well. Larry and Mona love him so much and, I'm sure the feeling is mutual. He's already spoiled rotten!

Larry and Mona lost their precious Bubba to bloat several days before getting Li. The hole in their hearts was just to big - they had to fill it right away. Li fit the bill. While Li will never replace Bubba, he has plenty of love to give just like Bubba did.

7/22/08: Cindy, I’m so sorry I don’t stay in touch more.  Larry and I both look at the website regularly – sometimes daily.  Sophie and Li are doing wonderful.  They are both getting a little older and have slowed down some, but they are relatively healthy (Shar Pei fever, you know).  They have a wonderful life with us, and we have a wonderful life because of them.

I read over the 10 commandments (and cried like a baby), but felt joy in knowing that all of our pets, both here and gone on, have been given the best life we could possibly give them.  Larry and I, like you and lots of other pet owners I know, feel like we have 2 kids – not 2 dogs – in fact, we call them our “kids.”  They are one of the biggest and best parts of our lives. 

Keep up your wonderful work with our beloved Shar Pei.  Mona

3/12/09: Very sad news today. Li passed away from renal failure. He had been sick for a short time and Mona and Larry kept him going until they knew his quality of life wasn't good. They helped him cross the Rainbow Bridge today. They are devastated by the loss and so is little Sophie, Li's devoted sister.
