Nervous about moving into an apartment with my Shih Tzu puppy
in Pets
Hello!
I'm moving this weekend into my first apartment and I have my 1.5 yr old shih tzu coming along. He loves to go to new places, but I'm afraid he will get lonely when we move away from my parents' 2 german shephards (his buddies!) Does anyone have any adivce to lessen the boredom/loneliness he might encounter?
Thanks!
Re: Nervous about moving into an apartment with my Shih Tzu puppy
I have a 10 year old shih tzu, named Mikki, myself. This is a tough situation because they can be set in their ways at times. I lived with my parents until I got married, and Mikki became very depressed we noticed just from the change. He wouldn't eat, drink, etc. We decided to "share custody" of Mikki for a whle until he adjusted. He would stay at my parent's house for a couple of days, then with us for a couple of days. We slowly weaned him out of my parent's home but he would still have periods of depression, where he would hide behind the couch and under the bed. This totally changed when we adopted our kitten, Angel. She was a rescue from the local animal shelter. Now they are BFF's. There has been complete change in him. He is now acting like the puppy he was when we rescued him. The eat, play, and sleep together.
I don't know if these are options for you, but I hope it helps somehow.
Congrats on the move and (I'm guessing) the wedding!
The shared custody might work. Thank you for the idea. Hoping for the best!
