Mister is a complicated, complex and cryptic canine. He's not nearly as monochrome black and white as he appears at first blush. There is a muddled labyrinth containing many shades of gray on the inside, not to mention various hues of pink on the under side.
At first glance, he could be mistaken for a docile homebody content to merely nap on the couch. Au contraire, mon frere! No one, I mean no one, enjoys his Saturday morning outings as much as the honorable Mister Wickie. As the mayor of Woodland, he never misses an opportunity to meet and greet with his people. He feels it is his mayoral duty to check the pulse of his constituency. While other Shih Tzus with far inferior sensibilities and a much lesser sense of adventure are content with a morning spent lounging at the spa, Xian Sheng insists on getting a big whiff of the state of affairs in the hamlet of Gladstone.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. His majesty scours one end of Happy Rock to the other, and on rare occasions even fords the river and crosses state lines. He locates his citizenry at HyVee, House of Lube, Ripple Glass, Majestic dry cleaners, Lowe's, the car wash/Italian restaurant, Target and Walmart. No regal outing is complete without a trip through Sonic.
The carhops recognize him when he pulls in and without fail, he always orders "the usual" ... . . plain junior burger, no pickle.
