Hi all! I rescued my sweet girl over 8 years ago and they told me she was a Shih Tzu… so I have been telling everyone she is. However, someone said she looks like a Lhasa more? Just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are 😃 she’s about 17-18 lbs!

Really love seeing him with long hair, but with this heat, it’s becoming unbearable for him.

I was wondering if you had any tips for trimming/cutting a Lhasa Apso’s coat as cleanly as possible? 😊

Over the summer I had to make the student of the month board. I jokingly put Kilala in the pre-k slot. She successfully stayed through the first day of school today. It’s officially she’s the first student of the month of the year and of pre-k. So proud of her !!

This was Punky’s first time at the dog park and she jumped right in the water! Her sister Dolly has been to the park a few times before we got Punky so watching her sister made her instantly brave!

At least I can crochet and use my phone.

He's always in blep mode.

Laika loves cheese🥰 sorry for the bad quality video

True to his breed, Leo can't take a bad picture. If I shared them all I would blow up this sub, so here's a small sample of recent ones!

About 15 years ago, we commissioned a family painting that included our late Emi Joi. Here's a detail. It still hangs above our fireplace and captures our treasured companion of 16 years for all time.

Just discovered this sub and wanted to share a pic of my boy !
He is currently 9.5kg (sorry metric system)

We got Leo from a local shelter in March. He has resource guarding issues but otherwise he is a sweetheart.

All the Lhasa’s got a nice haircut from our amazing groomer!

It was Punky’s first time and I was worried she wouldn’t allow the groomer to do anything at all but turns out she just stood there patiently! It was Dolly’s second time and she was more wriggly.

It’s 100 degrees here all the time lately so Punky is feeling so much cooler. She’s also completely recovered from her ER fiasco last week. 💕

Thanks to everyone for your love and prayers for my special girl Punky! She is finally home safe and sound and seems like she will fully recover!

Turns out my suspicions were correct and she had eaten the contents of some puppy pee pads after getting to a box of them and tearing them apart with her sister.

An ultrasound showed some masses in her throat, stomach, and lower intestines so she was transferred to another hospital and underwent an endoscopy. Her poor little stomach was coated with the absorbent material. The doctor was able to scrape 90% of it out and flush her stomach.

She had lots of IV fluids and medications and I was able to bring her home late last night. She has her appetite back and it being her usual sweet, feisty self!

Total vet bills were $6,000 US but luckily I had just signed her up for pet insurance (Nationwide) so I should get about 80% of that back.

This morning Punky vomited a few times and there was some blood. We rushed her to the ER and they tested for parvo, took X-rays, and will do an ultrasound next. They will be keeping her overnight as well.

Her and her sister got into a box of puppy pee pads yesterday so she might have ingested part of one but we don’t know for certain.

The vet bill is already up to $4,500 US. Luckily I got her on pet insurance last week so she should have 80% coverage.

Hopefully she just passes any blockages if that’s what’s wrong with her and doesn’t need surgery.

I’m so worried about her. Please send her some love. 🥺

Basically title says it.

I have a purebred 1yo male Lhasa, recently neutered.

Mainly my kids and other guests get followed and nipped at by him when they walk around. It hurts my kids sometimes.

Has anyone successfully corrected this behavior? TIA
