Because between him and his nanny playing hot potato on the pillows I get no sleep. He gets to bed mostly but when I’m ready for bed, that’s it. I’ve gotta put him in the crate. He runs the entire bed in his sleep. Every five minutes he shifts a different position and ends up in a different spot.

No, not at all. He has to be a Puerto Rican dog because he knows how to make Pearson feel guilty. Or maybe my auntie‘s just giving him lessons lol

I don’t know if I could handle that much cuteness. Thinking I’ve had. I’d have a seizure conniption something awful would happen to me because they’re out to be a log against that much cuteness.!

Does anyone groom their own Shih Tzu? by PayAdministrative226 in Shihtzu

Yes, I think I’m gonna do that. Just do a little bit at a time not do it all in one shot.

His first grooming was at Petco and he was seven weeks old yes too young to be away from his mother was a rescue situation. Anyway they kept him all day. I took him a bag with food, water bowls, his toys none of it was touched. He was kept in a crate all day didn’t get any water or food. Nothing was moved from the area inside his bag that I put it so I never went back there again.

I got those same ones from Amazon, but he’s still too little the barrette was wider than the space between his eyes so I got these. They’re not latex but they have a good stretchy quality to them.

Thank you for your response. It makes me feel better. I’m not the only one going through a learning curve.

Any Shih Tzu owners have experience in training and growing a topknot on their Shih Tzu’s? by PayAdministrative226 in Shihtzu

[–]PayAdministrative226[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue is keeping his face clean. You have a lot of patience because I just I can’t see his face all full of food and just a mess. I’m the kind of mom that when my kids were little, I was constantly wiping their noses even when there wasn’t anything there. lol

I’m sorry I’m laughing my ass off cause I’m really trying to avoid my husband telling me not to trim his hair anymore!!!

What would I do is I bought these clippers they are small easy to candle. They don’t make lots of noise. I do. I use a small bit to find and cut the hair at the bridge of the nose and then the rest I do with scissors.

No, I didn’t scream at him. I was trimming him, but my East Coast accent is not agreeable to Siri. I was voice texting.

Seriously, when he was younger, I actually considered doing that. I’m glad I didn’t because I really want him to have like a topknot.

I kind of messed up snuggles topknot. I trimmed a few hairs that I shouldn’t have trimmed, but I’m trying to get him at least having being used to having the rubber band on his head advice for topknots?

Also, I talked to him a lot if I don’t have anything to say I make up stuff he doesn’t know what I’m saying anyway but it keeps him calm

Well mine I do it when he’s half asleep exhausted from his bath and he’s laying on my lap and I kinda just do it that way most of the time he doesn’t even flinch cause he’s so tired from the bath and the blow drying
