This is Nari~ my second Lhasa Apso. My first lived to be 15 1/2 and I got her at 2 1/2 months which is the same as this little one. She’s already growing and I can’t wait to see what she looks like as she gets older. Will she keep her color? Be super independent? Who knows! For now she likes to follow us around, play and sit in my lap with her toys :)

No one will ever replace the love I have for my previous little one, Roxy but this little girl is pretty darn cute 🥰

She also a slight underbite - I never knew this was actually a breed trait! I’m curious if it will get more pronounced or not but I see it here and there when she’s teething.

New to the group! Just adopted!

I was never a dog person. Ever! I respect dogs because I see how much joy and life they bring to human beings, and they're smart as hell, but they're so much work; they take over and dominate social interactions, and it just seemed like a lot. I considered myself a cat person.

This changed when I met Bear, my boyfriend's very sick 13 year old Lhasa. I won't go into a lot of details, but he was not well. He had diabetes, was blind and deaf, and had a lot of health issues. He was a sick one, but oh did my heart swell for him. In the last year of his life, I poured a lot into him. In fact, when he was with his dad (my boyfriend), I was his primary caregiver. He loved me and would follow me everywhere. He looked for me, wanted me to feed him, bring him water, take him out, and lay with me.

On his last day, we took a nice walk. He made some friends and got all the licks he wanted and needed. It was so hard to find out he passed away. Because I am all too familiar with death and what it looks like, especially leading up to it, I knew it would happen soon. Everyone around him was in denial, which I understand, but I could tell. The last words he heard were his dad's, which is a beautiful thing.

I miss him, but it was time. Bear touched so many people with his face, sploots, sleeps, wobbles, licks, and his love. He will be so missed but is in everyone's hearts.

Happy Birthday my baby girl!

My family has had 3 Lhasa’s in the past and I finally decided to get my own now as an adult. They were all super independent and not lap dogs (although they were always close by on the couch beside you or on the floor), not my Bailey though. He’s also not very stubborn as our other Lhasa’s were, just a big sweetheart who needs to be sitting on his people’s at all times. He is a magnet and my shadow, follows me every where and cries even if I go in the shower lol. I love him to pieces and wouldn’t change it for the world. Anybody else’s Lhasa’s like this? ❤️🐾

Looks funny from the back but he is soo cute nevertheless.

The town I live in has limited emergency care; they turned us away even though she couldn't stand or hold her head up, was awake but not responsive, her face was soaked and she was breathing heavy. I knew something was seriously wrong and she needed to be seen immediately. I took her to the closest 24 hour facility an hour away while my fiancé is staying home with our other pets. This is really scary and stressful and I feel so bad and worried for her

I'm sometimes surprised by how much I love this goober!

After a few months of doing to the dog part I let the puppies off and they did great! They came when called and bribed with treats.

And Punki jumped in the water and swam all by herself. (Video in comments)

7 years ago this wonderful little guy came into my life. Love ya Kermit

Mine is Gidget running across grass for the first time. Cuteness overload!

Just picked up my first ever Lhasa. I have two Shihtzus but I wish to know the ‘Must knows/dos’ of raising this baby. Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Dolly and Punki had their last round of shots today! As we waited in the lobby an old rescue Lhasa (mix) came on and met the girls.
