I’m not gonna lie and say that Shio is awesome when it comes to meeting new people. We normally get a mixed bag of reactions depending on the stranger. Here’s a breakdown of the 2 usual reactions: 1. The “parallelogram” Shio is curious about the new person but maintains his distance. He makes sure that…
Now that it is officially off-season for the beaches, Shio is free to roam around without getting his humans in trouble! T was thoughtful as always and brought Shio a whole container of ice water. I have been looking at buying a tilt-shift lens for a while, but because I don’t have that much time…
freeeeedooooooooom!!!!
I couldn’t stop laughing when I read this! http://theglitteringeye.com/?p=1550
Hahahahaha!
This is awesome – Thanks for the laugh, Ting and Shio!
The pièce de résistance: “… entirely healthy and indeed deeply pleased with himself.”
LOL (between dry heaves) !
Ha! Thanks for sharing, I actually haven’t read this yet. We were just trying to figure out the Yellow Urka-Gurka a few weeks ago!
You’re welcome!
Today we took Shio up to the Upper West Side: Riverside Park. We have never explored that far uptown — and in fact when we got up there it did feel like a different world. The crowd was much older and family-oriented, and it was much more quiet than our neighborhood… In addition, we knew…
Discovering new places is fun~
how cool to get his own pooch special
I was going to say, yeah, i actually love the last photo!
Shio spent his Labor Day Weekend doing some fun activities. First, he went to Prospect Park Saturday morning, as usual. On Sunday, we took Shio to Fort Tryon Park Dog Run. Shio is a pro at riding the subway at this point. We met 4 other shibas up there… There is no question shiba inus…
looks like a fun weekend, shio!
it’s been too hot in az to do much (between 107-111 degrees), so i’m very jealous of all your adventures.
have a good labor day!
i love how Shio pops up the head and the cute fuzzy ears out of the bag. we should maybe someday try this with our pup, on the T.
Zuko is the exact same way. A stranger has a better chance if he / she crouches down to his level and reaches under his chin. If they bend over and go for the top of the head he scampers backwards and gives them a look like a royal who has just been violated. If they are being “weird” he gets that odd huffing noise going – not a bark, but more like he’s warming up to one. He rarely actually barks at people unless they are just behaving totally out of the realm of norm. Interestingly, I trust his judgment and share his general reserve of strangers.
Shio is no gullible shiba!
Katsumi must have taken the same class! It doesn’t help that we are home-bodies and don’t get out much. But weekly visits to petsmart helps.
The “parallelogram” I love it! Kaiju does that ALL the time. He doesn’t ever really bark, but he does the “I’m just gonna turn my back on you and pretend you don’t exist by looking in the opposite direction” So rude! But, if you are with a dog… he’ll generally give you the benefit of the doubt that you are OK… he likes dogs
Haha – that’s so cute! It’s funny how offended and sad people get when Shibas turn away from them!
Oooh. Have you seen the Martha Stewart line for PetSmart? It’s sooo cute! We don’t have PetSmarts in lower Manhattan… yet!
That’s right! You’ll have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull the wool over his eyes!
We huff and puff too!
