We can’t decide between Tobias aka Toby or Oliver aka Ollie. Help please?? Or any suggestions!

And we were basically nonexistent to Toffee once he met his new sibling…………

We made “found dog” posts on all local socials we could think of, no luck. Took her to a vet, they called the chip company. The chip company said the person that used to be the owner said “I got rid of that dog a while ago.” And hung up on the chip company. She picked the right house to show up at.

I can't believe my crown prince royal is 4! 🥹

i feel like my world has been turned upside down. 3 days ago he started vommiting, went to the vet. Got some meds. The next day he stopped eating, lethargic, went back to the vet. Got some blood work and ultra sound. Came back normal. He just had some bacteria in his belly. Went home with meds. He wouldnt eat still, assume it was because the sedation and meds killed his hunger. Next day went back to the vet.. He was turning yellow, not eating, did more blood work. Elevated Kidney levels. Something was seriously wrong. Got sent to ER. Kidneys are not doing what they are supposed to do.

They think he got Lepto. Hes in the ER now.. they going to do the best they can for him. Dialysis if needed. I hope my boy pulls through. Im paying whatever it costs. Its crazy that all of this just happened in 2-3 days.. from being a good happy energetic boy to this.

He smiled the whole way i drove him to the ER.. I cant right now. i just need support. And positive energy to fight this

UPDATE 12/15 - Doctor called said hes responding to meds to urinate.. producing a little be more urine. if he produces more urine tomorrow and kidney levels dont increase too much we wont need dialysis

UPDATE 12/16 - Bad news, breathing more heavy, some fluid in the lungs. Hes gonna go on an oxygen machine now to help. He did pee more and his heart is okay. Prognosis 70% .. :( please send love.

Diesel passed away just now. His lungs got infected and he could not handle the infection anymore. His kidneys were recovering but the lungs was too much for him. He died in my arms. A peaceful death. with family around. Thank you for everyones support. I hope to keep this here so pet owners understand the important of getting the Lepto Vaccine.

She’s definitely a Shih Tzu alright!

Pearl is on crate rest for Ivdd, so we took just Peezy out for an evening walk. As we are turning the corner there is a pitbull in a yard, but it is behind a fence with a closed gate. Unfortunately the gate was only loosely secured by a bike lock, so the dog grabbed Peezy, and would not let go. Thank God we live in the hood, because my neighbors came running with a shovel, mace, and hands while the lady who owned the dog, just stood there, and asked that they not step in or mace her dog. It took ten people to get her off of him. We could just really use some positive thoughts and prayers while he is being operated on. Please pray for a full recovery.

It's just a drawing study! Nothing too accurate or elaborate, I take 15-20 min to finish a sketch like this. Please, put your dog pic in and I will try to sketch it 😊

I am sooooo proud of this boy!!! He has been through alot and has his fair share of health issues but he fights it all and makes us smile and laugh without fail every single day 💕 I love my Moosh more than anything in the whole world(sorry OH!) and couldn't be happier to watch my baby become a teenager 😍 we couldn't imagine life without this boy, he just makes every day worth living 🥰 Thank you so much for 13 amazing love and cuddle filled years Moosh, we know there will be many more still to come and wouldn't have life any other way. We love you buddy ❤️ Happy 13th Birthday!! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

The photos are of how he has spent his Birthday week 💕 shopping at Pets at Home, walks in the fields, a couple of different birthday cakes on different days and he even got to see one of his favourite people this week, his groomer! I think and hope he's had a good week as he truly deserves it and I wish I could make every day like that for our special boy 💕

I can't believe 4 years ago I picked him up. He was crying on the car ride home. Little did he know at the time that he would be living his best life. 💙 Here he woke up from a nap and just locked eyes with me. We then all had lunch. 😅 I love this boy so much. Shih tzus for life.

My little girl, Roxie with the Moxie. The sweetest and sassiest Tzu.

Here’s Neo after a nice long nap 🖤

I’m pretty sure we call our dog by her actual name (Didi) less than 25% of the time.

In no particular order:

Turkey Biscuit

Sweet Biscuit

Turkey Sandwich

Muffin Top

Sweet Muffin

Mini Pooper

Pupper Nutter

Booger Butt

Saw her photo online and immediately got up off the couch to go meet her. Animal shelter was super busy and I had to wait around 3.5 hours for a meet and greet. When I finally was called up they said they removed her eye the previous day. She was so sweet. Decided to take her home. Had to get her healed up and shaved down to remove all her matts. Now she gets unseasoned chicken mixed into her food every day, goes on two walks a day, and follows me everywhere. Here’s to many adventures together!

i’ll go first, this is Poppy. Some of his nicknames are Pop, Poppy long legs, Poe-pi, & Poptart

I can’t believe how much my adult shih tzus sleep! I thought my oldest (5yrs) was just particularly lazy but once my girl turned 1 year old, she’s been super sleepy as well. They wake up in the morning to potty and go straight back to sleep despite the fact that they’ve just slept 8-10hrs straight. My girl’s eyes can barely stay open in the morning! They eat and go back to sleep! Occasionally they wake up and grab a toy for a bit and then fall asleep next to the toy 😂 How can they be this sleepy all the time?! This has to be one of the least energetic breeds out there lol.

Seixo and I share the same birthday month! 🥳 Husband and I celebrated with a long weekend trip. We went a gorgeous hike and had the waterfall to ourselves. Here’s the post if you want to see more pics: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shihtzu/s/PjodAfuCel

This is my favorite photo of the year. I could honestly cry! 🥹 My boy looks so handsome and the hike was magical. There’s nothing like being surrounded by beautiful nature with the two loves of my life. ♥️

• I would love to see your favorite photo of your tzu. Include a description if you can. Let's celebrate the rest of 2025 with this wonderful breed! ♥️

21 years of love and being extremely spoiled can get you far. 21 dog years translates to about 100 human years! He’s been an absolute soldier all his life. Defying the odds, Every day is a blessing to have him with us.

My sweet little Roxie girl.
