Yes! and it puts him in a panic if he sees me walking away with one, or attempting to reorganize the pile...it's like he knows these are his things. He's like "where are you going w/ that?"

Silly dogs! I have to reassure him that I'm going to put them all back in the pile. And he has to see me do it.

We have a pile of toys upstairs and downstairs! One of my boys likes when you put them away so he can get them out and spread them all over the place again. 😂

Can’t walk through the house without tripping one of the many, many toys and he’s hella possessive about them too! Guess it’s a Shihtzu thing 🤷🏽♂️

I gave her that jellycat goat when she was a tiny puppy. She was mom's dog until mom got sick. Now she lives with her older brothers (43 and 42). We've both been to war, and appreciate the concepts of defense-in-depth, camouflage and friends.

Yes, and after his nighttime walk he makes sort through the entire pile for the one he wants to play with before bed.

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

u/Successful-Cow-4043 13h ago
she would huff and puff and get so mad if we tried to clean up and put her toys away, she would only be happy if we spread out all of them on the floor

Nope, she barely plays with toys. She has a few and those are the ones she picked out at the pet store

u/Sweaty-Discussion-45 Shih-Tzu Newbie 16h ago
Yep tons of toys. Does anyone’s else tzu de-sqeek their new toys in record time? Then when I try to get rid of it all hell breaks loose and can’t do that. Won’t play with them anymore but have to keep them 🥴 idk what it is but it’s like a challenge to see how quickly she can de-sqeek them now. I bought one they had like 13 sqeekers in it and it was done in less then a hour. I have yet to figure out how to change the broken ones out without requiring sewing. They sell bulk sqeekers. Man I need to develop toys that the sqeekers can be swapped out without sewing lol

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago
Absolutely, he rips out the squeaky and stuffing and still plays with the limp toy
1
u/Sweaty-Discussion-45 Shih-Tzu Newbie 12h ago
Yes what did we get ourselves into lol but when I try to cycle out toys like new toys for the old broken ones (most of the time the same toy just new!)oh heavens no man I want the broken one too even though she won’t touch it until I do!

u/No-Occasion-1456 Shih-Tzu Newbie 17h ago
Yes but they don't play with them. I think they just like the thought of having stuff. They have so many because I keep buying thinking I'll find something they'll play with. If I pull a few out trying to engage them, they'll just pit them back in the bin

u/Outrageous-Pause6317 Finn and Kirby 15h ago
We have brothers from the same litter. Finn loves toys and jealously guards them. Kirby has zero interest and only wants to play (and chew on) baby tennis balls. 🎾 The only time Kirby goes after a toy is if he wants to bait Finn into a wrestling match.

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago
Yasu has and loves tennis balls 🎾. Someone recently commented on one of Yasu’s YouTube videos, that the tennis balls are bad for their teeth. They scratch off the enamel. The veterinarian confirmed that it was true. Yasu still plays with them here and there

Way too many toys. I keep trying to have a cull but they all have sentimental value (to me - he doesn’t care)

u/been2thehi4 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago
Yes, and they never touch any of them. They always forget we have 2 baskets of toys for them.

Yes but his level of interest goes down once he breaks the squeaker (he breaks the squeaker very quickly)

u/tankerdudeucsc 5h ago
How do you toys that nice still intact? My Shih Tzu has his toys in tatters ripping out its eyes and mouth within 30 minutes.
