Pumpkin is absolutely adorable and clearly full of Lhasatude! This past Friday, I just lost my Shih Tzu, Joli, three weeks short of her 15th birthday. I understand what you are dealing with. Last month, I took Joli to the groomer and her right ear was almost blocked with gunk. Holistic Vet...

Actually I spoke about two different Tzu. My oldest had her spleen removed in February 2020. A friend received my 2019 Xmas card and called to tell me that the oldest girl's face was thinner from the pic in the 2018 Xmas card and insisted that she see the vet. Had her annual physical exam...
So sorry to learn this about your pup. My 15 year old Shih Tzu used to take anything and everything mixed into her ground raw food. That changed recently and now if it has any supplements, she spits it out. Was just going to purchase some peanut butter. There are one or two supplements that...

Updates from Louis Land? That precious little pumpkin must have grown by leaps and bounds since his arrival at your home. How stubborn is he (a well-known Shih Tzu trait)? Hopefully, the training is going well. As you know, patience is the key. Betty, I didn't respond to your crate training...
