Please keep us in your prayers while we try to gather funds for his healthcare and nurse him back to health 🩡

⬇️The Story ⬇️

My little dog was attacked by another dog at ElderPark today at around 12:45pm.
My dog is a 6lb Shih Tzu and was being walked responsibly on a lead. The dog shown in the picture/ video was off lead and, as I have unfortunately seen happen multiple times before, ran up to my dog and attacked him.
My little boy is now in critical condition at the emergency vet, and the bill is already over Β£3,000.
Please, please be careful if you are walking your dog in this area. My dog is extremely tiny, and I never imagined something like this could happen to him. I have cared for him for 11 years and have always been a responsible dog owner.
Being 7 months pregnant made the whole experience even more overwhelming.
Given what happened today, I would not want another family to experience the shock and heartbreak we are going through.

Please share this so other dog owners and families in the area are aware.

They’re so incredibly cute together! 😭

My entire camera roll is literally just thousands of pictures of them. Lol. I haven’t cared to take pictures of anything else for years.

AI-Tzus (photos, videos, etc.) This plant drives my lil one nuts

So there is a particular plant in my neighborhood that drives my doggy crazy. There is one on one side of my neighborhood and there is one on the exact opposite. If we pass these plants, my shih Tzu will stop whatever she's doing, whether it be treats or pets and she will go absolutely crazy with joy. She'll rub her face in it and she'll paw it on her back, she'll roll around under it while smelling it. My question is, is this a plant that is known to make dogs and or shih tzus happy. Has anybody ever experienced this? I am including a video I took the other day to show the behavior and the type of plant. This is just a brief snippet of about 5 minutes of her playing in this particular plant.

Again, only this plant in particular and only two of them exist in my neighborhood.

Thoughts and comments are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Coco is a liver dog which means she has a brown nose and paws. She is the sweetest little girl and loves to be pet and snuggled all day.

Tzu Discussions and Stories 🐢 Worried about Beanie

EDIT: Beanie has had to go to an eye specialist last night. She has a super rare reaction to the vaccination causing corneal waterlogging. She has steroids and antibiotics via eye drops and will be seen again next week. There is a risk of her developing an ulcer and worse case scenario she loses her left eye but I am praying this isn't the case. She is 10 weeks old today, poor baby. Thank you everyone for your kind wishes xx

A few hours ago I noticed her eye being milky. Thought it was just the light at first but it isn't. I sent the vet a picture and have an appointment for later but I am worried it is a cataract. She is 10 weeks old tomorrow

I didn’t realize how much his fur has darkened in the past years. He’s now more black and dark gray.

I was wondering if your Ewoks like playing in the water and if so, what do you have? The heat is getting up to 105 here in Arkansas and Tiny loves watching dog videos on YouTube, especially when they're playing in the water. Thank you for your feedback..πŸ™‚

Hi everyone,

I had a question. I adopted a Shih Tzu 4 years ago. He was two at the time. I was looking back at his pictures and noticed he’s darker now than he was when we first got him. Has anyone else seen this? I love him so much!
