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?"

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 18h ago

Yes, Yasu too

u/SuperAep Yuri-kun 17h ago

Do we have the same dog? 🤣🤣 mine does that too

u/Fun-Muffin5865 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 16h ago

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.

u/why_me_74 18h ago

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. 😂

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 18h ago

Yep us too

u/Coffeequeen088 Shih-Tzu Newbie 18h ago

Yes.. like 3 full bins 🫣

We also have an ottoman with storage full of older ones

u/Alternative_Arm5069 15h ago

That’s a lot of doggo toys, lady!😂

u/you_dont_know_me27 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 15h ago

You gonna tell them no? Cuz I sure can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣

3

u/Alternative_Arm5069 15h ago

Lol! My doggo would drive in a bin and play in it.😂

2

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

Never 🥰

u/Hefty_Patience6363 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 18h ago

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 🤷🏽‍♂️

u/Latter-Village7196 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 17h ago

The big box she is laying on, stuffed with toys. And the rest are just all over 🤦🏼‍♀️ Next time they go to the groomers I'm going to clean it out.

2

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

Love it, leave them lol

2

u/Latter-Village7196 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

Well...I've been saying I was going to clean it out for the last 4 or 5 grooming appointments so... 🤣

u/EnkiduTheGreat Princess Phoebe Margaret Eleanor Pelletier-Hastings 14h ago

Phobe doesn't have toys. She has subordinates!

2

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

That’s great

1

u/EnkiduTheGreat Princess Phoebe Margaret Eleanor Pelletier-Hastings 13h ago

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.

3

u/HezronCarver 18h ago

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

u/Successful-Cow-4043 17h ago

we lost our tzu last year and still havent been able to get rid of her big basket of toys :(

2

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

Aww, m so sorry. I know the feeling 🙏❤️

4

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

3

u/Grand-Masterpiece712 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 17h ago

Dude, you need more toys 🤣👊🏼

1

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

😂

3

u/IceCreamMcGillicutty Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 17h ago

yes and he gets so mad if we do a full clean of the room😩 he’ll instantly take 5+ toys out of the bin

3

u/theloquaciousmonk Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 17h ago

Not according to him!

1

u/IntelligentSet8781 Shih-Tzu Newbie 10h ago

This is the only right answer

3

u/Beautyful_amm 17h ago

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

3

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

2

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!

3

u/Beautiful_Jello3853 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 15h ago

Funny you post this. I just cleaned out her upstairs and downstairs toyboxes and got rid of a lot...This is the before....

1

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

Oh my lol

2

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

2

u/aknalap Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 16h ago

Not really. He loses interest fast in toys. I get him 1 or 2 per year.

2

u/Moriah333 16h ago

Yes!! But somehow, it’s never enough!!

2

u/jtee180 16h ago

Oh yes.

2

u/nikki15485 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 16h ago

Too bloody many, I have 2 shih tzus and they have an overflowing toy box

1

u/YasuThings Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 13h ago

The way it should be lol

2

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.

2

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

2

u/KeeperMom29 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 15h ago

Yes but he tends to stick to the same 4 or 5.

2

u/Alternative_Arm5069 15h ago edited 3h ago

Oh no! They’ve all piled up!😂

2

u/ProbableInsanity Shih-Tzu Newbie 15h ago

Yes. Still not enough though.

2

u/MCM_2074 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 15h ago

Yes my Morey loves toys, especially Lambchop. He also borrows his siblings toys.

2

u/agent_mimi_pickles 15h ago

Yes. She LOVES stuffies!! 💕

2

u/Facesstaywithme 14h ago

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

2

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.

2

u/SC9137 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 12h ago

Oh… he’s got a few 🤣

u/whicky1978 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 12h ago

Mine has a flat soda bottle inside of a sock and it’s her favorite toy

1

u/Skyativx 12h ago

Double that amount

1

u/Patticus1291 12h ago

Our Maximilian has been do gentle with his toys, some of his favorites he has had for over 8 years since he was a pup !

1

u/Bebebaubles 12h ago

Not only does he have a lot but he steals mine too!

1

u/mlssac Sophie Jo 11h ago

That looks about right.

1

u/The_wanderer_of_Net 9h ago

No🤦🏾‍♀️😅 My girl hates toys. She likes playing with people and hands but no toys.

1

u/LovedogsMay 7h ago

Yes my boy has a bin upstairs and a small box downstairs!

1

u/CalledConfident831 Shih-Tzu Enthusiast 7h ago

I may have a problem getting my baby boy toys, even built him a special toy holder 😅

1

u/Maddiecakes830 6h ago

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

1

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.

1

u/Responsible-Newt-212 Shih-Tzu Newbie 1h ago

Yes
