Ah... is not only short legs.... it is also where the body is longer than the legs.... shih tzus got longer bodies, basset of course lah.... so never make them fat or chubby, can cause alot of back problems later.

The back problems normally come with jumping.... short jumps are ok but intense jumps like jumping from a chair or bed can put alot of impact onto the joints and back loh....

Oh, furkid sleep on bed is like nightmare.... imagine you wake up and see your blanket gone.... or you realize your head is not on the pillow.... or suddenly kena suffocated at the neck hahahah...... this is what I experience with Chelsea loh.... then if her face is near my face, lick lick lick.... yucks.

My dog hogs my bed.... now it become her bed and playground.... my bed don't smell like my bed anymore, smells like Chelsea hahahah.

Sheba smart ahhah.... she can wake you up. Not mine loh... she will go on sleeping and sleeping... will only wake me up if cannot tahan to pee. If not, she will go on sleeping with me in my blankets.

Sometimes certain skin conditions are minor... some caused by food allergies, bacteria, heat, wrong shampoo....

Yah... those considered minor if have a few.... my dog would get if use wrong shampoo and it would be all over his body, especially where his skin is pink.

cut 1 hole? You mean the fur?

Well, alot of dogfoods in the market never do proper research... and not all dogs are overly sensitive to their ingredients. That is why got many types of dogfood. Get lamb and rice or duck and potato dogfood lah.

That's normal..... They actually shed quite little if you compare to other dogs..... like my spaniel.... fur everywhere lah.... but one thing shih tzu don't have pet dander, so not many people are allergic to it. Brush your shih tzu with a slicker brush more often.

You should see poodle, it really won't stick to your shirt or become fur balls.

Oh goodness, that is a very cute picture hahahah.....

The pet market is getting worst now I think... more and more people mixbreeding and calling them new names as if they are new breeds. Stop people from making such profits and increasing the amount of mixbreed dogs coz SPCA got loads of them(not mongrels, SPCA does really have lots of mix terriers and mix poodles sometimes).

Well, after vaccination, a puppy's immune system would be weaken and any germs or bacteria from outside could harm the pup's health. So that is why most breeders would not let people take pups on the vaccination day. Wait a few days lah.

You shaved Yang Yang? Aiyoh, I will miss his fuzziness..... LOL.... Didn't see you at the shop last week loh....

Ohh.... but I went on Monday wor..... hahaha.... coz Hari Raya, not open so I went on the open day.

Christmas, you dye it green and red ah heheheh.... then lagi Christmas feel.

So everyday when you are at shop, YangYang follow you?

Fogal Cafe allows dogs inside? Food nice or not? Heheheh.... didn't know Fogal allowed dogs, but then I always go makan at eric Sam that restaurant....

PetsPeople, look out for it loh. Sells alot of accessories and products, but no pets for sale. Got lots of toys, beds, supplements....

Hahah... I like that place. Comfortable, friendly people like May hahahah... and of course her very cute YangYang there... I don't know the owner's name, I just call him uncle hahahaha....

YangYang reminds me of my late Willy loh.... my mom likes YangYang also hahaha... that day go PetsPeople also my mom was asking me, where is that cute shih tzu.

But then May, you know what my brother say? He say your YangYang not nice to pinch LOL... he say like no meat to pinch hahahaha.... coz he likes to hug and pinch my Chelsea.

OH... PetsPeople is not inside the shopping mall... it is outside the shopping mall. So the guard won't chase you lah hahahah.... but if you enter IN the mall, sure kena halau.

If you guys not bringing dogs, got public bus from KL Sentral, can take U83 go. If not sure, just ask which bus goes Plaza Damas.

The petshop is on the same floor of Yoga Zone.... so if not sure, ask around where is Yoga Zone loh.

No prob. Heheheh.... when I was there the 1st time, really hard to find so I had to walk up and down for the shop. Now easy lah, know that it is where Yoga Zone is.... coz the shop lots outside got 2 floor... so it is the upper part and next to a shoe shop called Rockin' Reptiles I think.... Hahahah... something like that lah.

No lah, not very familiar.... all also Reanne intro to me. She is more familiar with these places. She was the 1st one to bring me hahahah.

Ya, I'll get one black and white one day.... last time Willy cost us RM1.2k.... that was so long ago, shih tzu was very rare.... now so common liao, Rm500 also got. But I plan see if can find show quality or not lah. I may want to try showing dog after my studies

No prob. Hang around there, lots of nice places to eat hahahah.

Hard to find jet black and white loh.... now alot of black also got some brown in it or will fade to dark grey. My Willy only become dark grey when he reach 7 years old.... his ears and fur around his face become grey first.... sigh, miss him loh....

Yah, that time the price was reasonable.... that was like 14 years ago loh.... now all cheaper but still, if wanna show then really must fork out money to find a really nice one. Aiyah, but all this in the future. I did see some nice shih tzus in Thailand.... I still got about 2 years of study left.... then it would be working life loh....

Hahah... he lost his pretty fur that's why unhappy loh.... but at least not like my old Willy, LOL.... see how I cut his fur.

I will always love this picture: Taken when he was about 3 years old.



Then I got lazy, it became shorter and shorter:



This was how he looked like at 9 years:

Very old man look liao....

But still very black


Then when he was 12..... this is where all the grey can be seen loh.


Aiyah, YangYang cute of course all also wanna pinch hahah....

Use baking soda like how Digitral explained, dilute it in water, not till a paste but at least the water turns abit milky. Then dab the tooth brush in and brush your dog's teeth.

Another way to clean the fur is rubbing the baking soda powder into the fur, then brush it out after a minute.... but if mouth, better use cloth coz dogs should not consume it straight as powder form since it is sodium...
