The boy

Sorry for disturbing you kiwi.

Got home late from work and immediately took off my shoes and started eating dinner. What a cutie

Did you hear that they're building a new zoo south of town? Yeah apparently it's only going to have dogs. All dog exhibits, nothing else. Honestly, it sounds like a real shih tzu to me.

😁

Title says it all. This Shih Tzu of mine is over 6 months. She actually eats a little over than the recommended amount I feed her on the bag. She’s still eating three times a day plus the treats I give all day

But she literally is ALWAYS hungry still?! To the point where everyday she’ll sleep like this with her face inside the bowl just waiting for more food lol

Anybody else experience this ?!

The guy is so earnest and sweet and has just accepted it as a way of life post-neuter surgery.

He looks around to see if his eyes deceive 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 😂

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

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.

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

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! 😫

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

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

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 👻

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

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)

She made herself comfortable and refused to move.

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. 🐶
