What do you think your pup Shih Tzu is doing when no one is at home? Sitting depressed? Nah! Not always, even they have a lot more work to do. If you think that you are the only one brainstorming at work, then you are wrong. They do the same!
5 funny things your Shih Tzu thinks when home alone!
Remember Milo from Mask? Though he was not a Shih Tzu, after all, they are all canines!
1. Is there anyone else?

First, they check every corner to assure if there is anyone or not. To double-check after trotting all over the place, they bark for a while. If there is still no answer, they are open to doing anything. If you think they are waiting for someone else to come, then it might be your misconception. At times, your Shih baby wants to spend some time alone!
2. What to chew first?

Maybe they really want to chew your new shoes or that fluffy cushion or maybe dig into the garbage. So, it is very confusing for them to decide. This is all the way more difficult when they have so many options to chew but no one to help them decide. Before starting with one, they will double-check here and there and then finally get their teeth into one destructive activity! This is a very important thing thatShih Tzu thinks when home alone.
3. Where is my treat?

They get hungry if there is nothing to do. So, don’t be surprised if you see some bins dropped here and there. Hence, it is always better to keep their food bowl in a place where they can see and pour some treat there. If you don't do that, then a few things can go missing from your kitchen!
4. What’s that noise?

From a dripping tap to a bird singing, leaves moving or a dog barking three houses after; they hear and respond! Sometimes, you can just hear them barking for no good reason! So, if you get complaints that your Shih Tzu is barking, don’t freak out. However, of course, check if there is any other problem or not.
5. Where to sleep? On your bed or couch?

They know that you don’t allow them in your presence. But when you are not around, your bed is the first place where your Shih Pup wants to sleep! And this is another major decision that Shih Tzu takes when alone at home before finally deciding on one.
So, do you still think that they just sit by the window waiting for you all day long?
