First off, you will have to forget everything you have learned about the Shar Pei and history. I hate to break the news to you, but the Shar Pei was living in China 1,000 years before people showed up and messed everything up. They didn't breed us to become guard, herding or fighting dogs, we choose the positions to maintain the peace. A few years ago the Chinese broke the 6,000 year old peace treaty and almost killed us off.

My great great grandmother told me this story when I was just a pup.

Along time ago when the humans took over our great land there was one human name Zen Wa Lee who had befriended the King of the Shar Pei, Lu Ti. The two of them together had built a country of great peace and beauty. The days past into years until one day a greedy man by the name of Chin Wa killed Lu Ti and blamed it on Zen Wa Lee. The Shar Pei became very angry with the humans and that is when the so called "Pei Wars" broke out. It lasted one thousand years and the Shar Pei and humans alike lost their lives because of one greedy human.

It's little ole me, Princess Mia,

It was hot again today so we stayed inside most of the day. I slept most of the time and took some breaks by waking up and walking around the house to make sure everyone was still here.
Mom got a wild hair and cleaned out my ears. She said something had fallen in and died! My ears are all clean now and I can hear too. Plus mom did my nails but didn't polish them up like she had done before with pink polish, I loved it.

I knew that something was going on when mom made me go outside and all the other dogs had to stay inside! I got to go for a ride to Rural King today!!!! Mom said it was because I'm an older dog and walking in Rual King would be easier on me. I didn't mind it to much until I found popcorn all over the floor. For some reason mom didn't want me eating it, but I managed to gobble up a few of them.

Then after we got home mom & dad took all of us for a walk to the U of E campus, except for me. I was worn out from Rural King but I made it 1 block and dad brought me back home.
