Cute puppies with bad habits are hard to correct because they are so cute. But we need to for the sake of having a seemingly well behaved dog, we corrected Shio the first moment that we saw it happen. Before each correction, I used to think to myself, “If this happened to me while I…

Shio had a great week! First, his Lakers and favorite player Kobe Bryant won another championship. Shio was very happy that his efforts in cheering the team on had paid off. Then, after a night of celebration, we took him to Central Park. This time, because it was just us, we took the subway. The…

Nice weekend for Lord Shio. Do you take Shio on the subway with no issues from the MTA usually? Do you have to put him in a carrier?
Shio travels in his Sherpa Bag. He loves it because he knows whenever he gets in there, we are taking him somewhere fun!

Ting and I recently took a trip to Iceland for our honeymoon / wedding photos. We had a wonderful time with the McLellan’s, and we are looking forward to wonderful, epic photos. What did Shio do?

How do you stop Shio from jumping? Betsy is terrible with the jumping. She gets so excited she doesn’t know how to contain herself.
I feel your pain! I’m too cut up to wear skirts to work this summer. I have scars from flexi leash rope burn right on my calf.

Good philosophy, stilettos and mini skirt. I’ll have to try that.
I’ve thought about a short skirt, but never stilettos. The bar for my shiba just got higher!
