RUFUS - My Rescue Shih Tzu - Update

[juner]

For all the kind people that helped me and gave me confidence for my little Shih Tzu Rufus, he is doing just fine.I take him out with my other dog Mitsie in the car to a quiet field and we have a game of ball and he runs on the lead after the ball. He still doesn't like the lead and resists against it but we have had some little walks in the field. He is still very wary of people but now sits with us in the lounge instead of under the table. He was very good at having his coat trimmed apart from his front paws, didn't like that at all. He is eating well and his house training is coming good. Love to give you a photo but can't seem to find out how to do it unless it is via Facebook and I am not on that. Thanks to everyone again for your help.

I'm glad to hear that Rufus is settling in and gaining confidence. He obviously appreciates your care.

I am so pleased about Rufus. It just needs a lot of patience, love and kindness and a certain amount of gentle discipline.

Thanks for updating us juner x

(My little rescue Yorkie that I told you about hated having his front paws trimmed as well, or dried, or brushed or in fact touched!!)

Thanks Lottie I will try and transfer Rufus's photo as you say.

Good for you, it sounds like he will have a lovely happy life from now on. Lots of love and lots of patience is what he needs but Shih tzus are generally friendly and quite outgoing so I'm sure it won't be long till he comes out of his shell. BTW Neither of my two shih tzu cross dogs like having their front feet handled for trimming and I've been doing them regularly for 5 years. I upload my pictures here through Photobucket, it's pretty easy to set up, I'm sure we'd all love to see Rufus.
