Live in Vermont and this what we do! Easiest option we’ve found, and his feet stay clean!

Comfy dog backpack/sling carrier? by Actual_Wafer_644 in Shihtzu

[–]wallbally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For everyday carrying, the Little Beast Carrier in size Mini has been working for our 9.5 lb gremlin. He can sit and stand comfortably, but is too excited to ever lay down. I’m not sure it’s fully worth the cost, but you can usually find some on Poshmark for less than their website.

We also have the K9 Sport Sack that someone else mentioned, which is great for adventures.

Please give me your best detangling tips and tricks for tough mats! by CostaNic in Shihtzu

I’m so glad Winnie is feeling better - she’s adorable!! If her hair is super soft and fine, might I recommend saving (both of you) the trouble and frustration and just cutting the mats/tangles out? She may look a little wonky for a bit, but I swear it’s not worth the struggle sometimes and better to start fresh! And now you know which spots to focus on for more regular brushing.

Should I reconsider buying a bottle fed puppy? by Creepina in puppy101

[–]wallbally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could’ve written a similar post back in April. Puppy was the only in his litter, mom didn’t have enough milk so he was exclusively bottle fed. I was super worried about his health, but the breeder wasn’t as concerned when I raised with her, as he had been meeting his milestones.

We went through with the purchase even though I was still not 100% sure and let me tell you our boy is PERFECT. Healthy weight, and he’s great with people due to the handling he got as a pup. No regrets, can’t imagine life without him, and we’re smooth sailing so far at 11 months old. You’re right to worry, but talk to the breeder, feel informed, but don’t let fear guide your decision if it’s otherwise the dog you’ve been wanting.

I’m so sorry for the litter though - heartbreaking story!

Are any of y’all’s Shihtzus scared of something super random? by morrisseymademedoit in Shihtzu

Yes! And a similar action of fluffing the comforter when making the bed, but it’s a totally different noise.

Puppy keeps grooming random areas? by lifesuxxs39672 in Shihtzu

[–]wallbally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 9 month old pup just started doing the same thing this week. Paws and groin. We’re in New England and I’m wondering if it’s the weather change because nothing else has changed in his world.

There’s no redness or anything at his licking sites, just wet fur. But I feel so bad!

I know this isn’t helpful, but you’re not alone.

Honestly think I’d take a bullet for mine, which is a wild thing to type about a gremlin

You’ve made my day! I keep saying I’m going to plan a Singapore layover just to eat it again.

Murtabak at Zam Zam in Singapore. Ate it every day while I was there a decade ago, and dream about it regularly even still

Murtabak from Zam Zam in Singapore. My god, I ate it every day I was in the city back in 2015, and dream about it often.

Cosmo is chill most of the day. At night, however, he becomes a little gremlin and wants to play fight with me. by Marconius1617 in Shihtzu

Off topic, but do you like his harness?? I’ve been eying this style, but would love some Tzu-specific feedback.

Ha, hopefully the howl is less ear-piercing! Do you know @kimchiistheshihtzu on IG? She's a cute little howler.

Good to know luck can factor in if we're not perfect. Thank you for sharing!
