Most dogs have a strong fetch instinct but Oscar’s was hidden away until we discovered it earlier this year. Now he loves the phrase "where’s the ball Oscar?"

Shih Tzu and the Ball
Filed in Animals, Black and White, Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Dogs, Ireland, Nature, Photos, Sigma 18-200Shih Tzu and the Ball Shih Tzu dogs love to play ball! We only found this out after a dog trainer came to the house and “ruffled his fur” a bit and in the process Oscar became a lot more relaxed. Now he adores playing ball and even one mention of, “where’s the ball?” and [...]

The groomed Shih Tzu
Filed in Animals, Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Dogs, Ireland, Nature, Photos, Sigma 18-200The groomed Shih Tzu Our pet Shih Tzu, Oscar, has been suffering under the unusual August weather. It’s actually quite warm, and his long coat is more useful for colder weather. So this morning we had him groomed and doesn’t he look cute?

Dog on the beach
Filed in Animals, Beach, Cork, Garretstown, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 18-200, WaterDog on the beach Oscar ambling along on the beach at Garretstown in Co. Cork. He never liked the beach, there’s just too much dirt and gravel and sand and just plain yuck, but he had a great time that evening. I don’t think Shih-Tzus are the most adventurous of dogs! Compare this picture with [...]
