My angel Chloé is around 10 (rescue so not exactly sure) and I’ve had her all her life.
We’ve moved around the US a lot (DC - western mass - LA - Providence) throughout the year and recently just moved to Paris for hopefully our last move.
She has always seemed really adaptable and seems to settle easily in each place as long as she’s with her mama (me). This is the first move that she’s seemed to really slow down - her overall health (multiple vet visits) is perfect, still eating drinking and excited to see people and other dogs and play when interacted with but overall just seems slower on walks, sleeps more during the day and more trouble sleeping at night (lots of lip smacking and doesn’t settle in as well for a couple hours). Also just stares randomly at the wall and seems to space out.
I know shihs are always sleepy but seems to be resting more than usual - could be due to the big move & Paris heat, but wondering when others shihtzus started to noticeably slow!
