Gizmo 9/26/2006-8/8/2022. We were his second parents, adopting him from the shelter in 2010. His life of adventure started in June 2010. His first big adventure was to hike all the 4000 footers of NH. No small feat for a 15 pound Shih Tzu. There are 48 peaks in NH 0ver 4000 feet some are over 20 miles round trip.
Finishing the 48 4000 footers on Mt. Adams

Once this challenge was complete he moved on to the NH fire towers and the Belknap mountains in NH. He now has a hiking harness full of patches. 
Gizmo’s other passions were camping, shopping and exploring new places with his humans. Gizmo loved to travel, first in our travel trailers and then in our Class A. He made 3 cross country road trips. He hiked, ran 5K’s and made friends wherever he went. He lived a full life in his 16 years and left a big hole in our hearts when he passed. There is not a day that goes by without him in our thoughts.
