If you're a Shih Tzu owner, you already know how cute and cuddly these dogs are. However, there are a few things that you need to know about your pet - and here's a list of 15 of those things.

1) Even when I don't know what you're saying, just hearing your voice makes me happy!

2) Don't leave me alone in bad weather. Not only does it put me in danger, but it messes my fur up!

3) I trust you, so I expect you to trust me too!

4) Can you repeat that? Sometimes, I don't always get what you're saying.

5) Don’t be surprised when I jump on you every time I see you.

6) I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.

7) Can I sit with you? I’m having a bad day.

8) Can you show me that everyone is capable of love?

9) Life without friends is like a garden without flowers. Make sure to socialize me with other pets and humans!

10) I need some “me” time.

11) Even when I'm naughty, please don't ever abuse me.

12) Sometimes I like making messes. Will you join me in making messes too?

13) Will you love me the same when I’m old?

14) Keep an eye on me in case I start acting strangely. Although, things may seem normal, I may just have the blues and I just need to know that you have my back.

15) Sometimes, life at home gets boring. I love going on adventures!
