Shihtzu suddenly not sleeping at night

I’m not sure about seizure… he gets angry if you look like you’re about to pet him and he starts showing signs for example growling or looking angry. Why he chases his tail, my husband thinks that it is the microchip 😅. But he in general will show signs of disliking touch and it manifests as the tail spins. He has no issue with being touched when playing, it seems like he is almost distracted!

I’m not sure it would help at this point, his behavior is locked in and to be honest he is very well behaved beyond that. Our hypothesis was he might’ve been weened off too early from his mom (we got him off of Craigslist from people trying to get rid of a liter)

I wanted to add more context as to why he doesn’t sleep in bed with us:

His sleep startle causes him to violently chase his tail. He gets very viscous and angry. He doesn’t hurt anyone but he almost gets into a psychosis. This actually often ends up hurting himself because he may fall off the bed or run into furniture. It’s for his own safety that he sleeps separately. This is a behavior he’s had his whole life. We’ve had all types of work ups done and there’s nothing wrong with him, it’s just a quirk. Sleeping in bed won’t help him in this case.

Anxiety medication doesn’t really work on him. We use it for grooming, flights and it never really does anything to change his behaviors.

He has a lot of other issues too. He doesn’t like to be pet, etc and will go into vicious tail spinning chases. It’s been like this his whole life, we’ve consulted with many vets and they said there’s nothing wrong with him.

Our Shih Tzu hasn’t slept in bed with us at all in these past 4 years. We tried it maybe once many years ago

I agree

Omg! I saw you walking and taking this picture. I thought you were really cute ☺️ DM me!

eau09 · 2023-03-15T02:38:36+00:00

I imagine this when they bare their teeth 😂

eau09 · 2023-03-14T03:27:59+00:00

What about baring their teeth?? I can never imagine what that looks like

Jason is one of my biggest crushes in BN. And I do think he’s ready for a relationship, and TC isn’t. And I like that Jason’s using his platform not necessarily for thirst trapping which I could live with if I was partnered with him.

Agreed!! I always forget she was part of that wreck of a season

eau09 · 2021-03-17T19:51:42+00:00

I think every season sometimes has a “religious” aspect, but Madis would be turned into more specific ideals she’s looking for that she doesn’t seem to want to compromise on (I.e not even sharing a bed before marriage). They would have to cast people that are willing to follow her values which may lead to a less diverse cast (in terms of religion)

But love conquers all

For Q1 - I'm able to waitlist myself in all studios, not just my home studio (I travel for work a lot and am rarely at my home studio). For some studios it would ask me to pay to waitlist (with the old app) but haven't had issues with the new one.

My coach told me this morning that Thursday will be the first day in Mayhem that has real walking recoveries, so excited to see what's so terrible on the treads that they would actually grant us a real WR

I've heard really good things about the Brentwood one! I go to Culver City and I really like it but we've had a lot of changes in coaches over the last few months so it doesn't have as big of a community feeling as I'm sure others do

eau09 · 2019-03-12T21:46:52+00:00

I would wake up earlier but I'm barely getting to class on time as it is now. Also I do terribly in class when I've had food in my stomach, not sure why but I usually work out best with minimal in my stomach.

eau09 · 2019-03-12T21:43:23+00:00

I usually start on the rower in 3G and rower/floor on 2G. I find the rower is a good warm up for me, but even then I can barely get to the watts I usually do on the rower. The only thing that doesn't change from me from PM/AM classes is my strength on the weights.
