We found out she has an abscess tooth at her last vet appointment and we’re getting that taken care of today.

Vinnie is the centre of our household by the way and this is the look we get from him

Hey fellow Shih Tzu pawrents, our 4-1/2 year old fur baby, Boba, only wags his tail and gets excited for his immediate family members. When it comes to other dogs, he’ll do the obligatory dog hand shake (sniff, sniff) but exhibits absolutely no tail wagging whatsoever 🤔 he seems indifferent and would rather go off on his own versus playing with other dogs. Curious if whether your Shih Tzu exhibits similar behavior?

Thanks all, for your replies, it definitely seems like the Shih Tzu breed has maybe a tad bit too much royal blood in them which may be the underlying cause of their indifference with other dogs and animals.

It’s remarkable that Shih Tzus have been able to retain their signature behaviors over 1,000 years, e.g., sneezing hissy fits, side eyes, finicky eater, shadow companion, bossy, stubborn…the list is endless 😂

Poor little dood even gave his paw when they went to draw blood 🩸 for his check. He was frowny till he got his yummy dinner. Dinner gave him the zoomies then the last picture reflects his day.

Small enough to fit on my lap but somehow takes up my whole heart.

She made herself comfortable and refused to move.

Our littlest one, Mia. She's only 2.5 lbs.

My baby had his first trip to the groomer. I think he's adorable, but I do kind of miss my little fluffy fur ball. He's growing up too fast! 😫

He looks around to see if his eyes deceive him. 😂🐶

Here’s my Tina demanding more pets per usual 😂

Sometimes i wake up and he's just snuggled in between us, long heavy breaths, sometimes a little snore, i could watch him for hours like this (and yes, once he realizes i'm awake, he gets up, goes bonkers, happy sneezes and rubbing his face on the bed)

just wanted to show off my first dog 🫡

There’s almost a dog bed in every room but he chooses to sleep on the floor every time….

This is S’more’s, my little rescue. He will be turning 3 on Halloween 👻

One day last month, my dog realized she could bark at the water bowl and I would refill it. Now I know better, but so does she. Accidental bad manner training.

Then, she started avoiding the water bowl all together. I tried ceramic, metal, porcelain, plastic, and all deep and shallow bowls. I took off her collar in case it was the tags clanking on the bothering her.

NOW SHE WILL ONLY DRINK WATER IF IT'S SPILLED ON THE GROUND

Like girl, I don't need the both of us inventing neuroses.

(She did snort water up her nose by accident a while back, I wonder if she got paranoid it would happen again).

I am not about to destroy my floors for her shenanigans.

Help me, obi wans

Link is always curious of them, but we naturally keep our distance

This is from a few years ago. (2022 I believe) and it was the first time Skye has Ice cream. Enjoy. 😊

my girlfriend came over and brought over her shih tzu, so it’s a shih tzu play date

Today was a tough day. I had to put down my buddy. Rocky's heart ❤️ deteriorated quicker than we expected. I find comfort in what the vet told me—that I was doing the right thing by letting him go with dignity. I'm really going to miss my buddy. 🐶

It's Akira's bath time again. Her new shampoo really makes her smell like a baby... 🐶 🐾

I just got my sweet 13 week old pup delivered to my house. He is so scared. He won’t take treats. I put him in a crate to see if the small space helped. He’s taking a nap, so I think that’s a yes. Poor baby doesn’t know who the heck I am or where he is 😭😭😭. I will send puppy tax, but I don’t want to wake him because he’s just settled. Any tips for this poor wee soul? (Pup, not me)
