dog ball squeak
Why do dogs like squeaky toys?

A while back I bought a toy pack for my jack russel/picaneese/ whatever else he is. It had a tennis ball, a rope, a rubber squeaky toy, and a plush bone squeak toy. Out of all those, his favorite was the bone squeaky toy. Once he squeaked it once, he loved it. We would have to put it up at night so he wouldn’t wake us up. He loved it.

Today, he ripped it apart from a small hole that he put in it, so we had to throw it away. I’m going to get another one (since it was able to last for a while.) Now I’ve been wondering why he liked it best. Wouldn’t the high-pitched noise hurt his ears, especcially being so close to them. I can hear it from across the house, so how come the noise doesn’t hurt his ears. It seems to me that he liked the noise, or else he wouldn’t have bugged us with it so much.

Prey Drive. JRT’s were bred to go for small squeaky things (rodents) so for them even more than most its the Call of the Wild, like retrievers and tennis balls.

Shih Tzu Holiday Gift Ideas

 

 

Consider giving gifts to your Shih Tzu that help to warm his or heart and be completely satisfying. In this article I hope to give you a few ideas for that purpose. Plan on giving your companion Shih Tzu something incredibly tasty this holiday season as well as to your friends and family who own Shih Tzu.

Holiday Gift Baskets

There are over 71 million homes that have companion animals. Some of these homes have the Shih Tzu as companions. Every day more and more of us welcome either a dog or a cat into our home. There is no better way to show your friends, family members and acquaintances that you appreciate the important part our pets play in our modern lives than by giving a gift to their cat or dog.

You can put a gift basket together yourself or purchase them already put together. Look for something entertaining for the Shih Tzu, such as a ball-and-pull toy that squeaks. A toy such as this is sure to provide tons of fun for the Shih Tzu and the Shih Tzu puppies on your gift giving list this holiday season. Next, include or look for baskets and/or gifts sets that have “an assortment†of healthy treats. For the finishing touch, arrange your gift to the Shih Tzu, friends and family who own Shih Tzu in a lovely, reusable, holiday-themed basket or some other type of holiday container.

Other Holiday Gift Ideas

Wall Calendars: Give a gift that Shih Tzu owners can enjoy all year long. Consider giving a 2008 Wall Calendar having pictures of beautiful Shih Tzu for every month of the year. If you own several Shih Tzu, you might put a calendar together of your Shih Tzu pictures to give to family and friends. When shopping for a Wall Calendar, look for the following qualities in workmanship:

• High-quality, limited edition calendars
• High-resolution and heart-warming photos of adorable Shih Tzu companions and/or Shih Tzu puppies
• Full size 11†X 17†layout with premium, glossy paper makes a good size and appears really nice
• Large grid format to keep track of important events

Don’t forget to send out Christmas cards of your personal pictures of Shih Tzu. There are many places online you can find to print your pictures. Some ideas include:

• Vista Print
• Photo Works
