Shio vs. Ants

A month into moving into our new place and we find that we have little roommates. If the words “living with ants” doesn’t give you the creepy-crawly-icky-all-over feeling then you need to come over and help! This post really isn’t about Shio battling the ants.

my pack is laughing so hard: “shiiiiiiooooooo-jeeeeeeeeenkins!!!!!”

and shio, since i have to drop 1 pound, you can eat some extra chicken for me!

But Taro, you don’t even have that many pounds to drop…?!?!

when i went to the vet in early february, vet said my weight was just about perfect. since then i’m up a bit more than a pound. i need to get back to my old weight for summer here.

i’m like my human dad: if i didn’t have someone in my life who knows better, i would eat every moment from morning until night.

If you drop another pound, you might disappear!

Ohhhh! Shio’s got Sumo beat! He went in Tuesday and weighed 31.8lbs. o.O She told him that he could stand to eat a little less. He didn’t like that. But he has short, tiny legs so he needs to drop at least 5lbs so it’s not hard on his joints. We know a Shiba that is almost 50lbs!!! We call him King Noah.

Shio’s Personal Hygiene

How does Shio keep his teeth clean? He has a personal teeth-brusher. Photos taken with Contax 645, 80mm f/2, on Kodak Portra 400NC. Developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab.

Ooh, good job! You’ve managed to make it look like a pro job!

We’re just now getting into toothbrushing… for BOTH dogs. The basenji needs it more than Bowdu, but he’s better about it than her.

Dude. That is so PIMP. Personal teeth brusher!

Is that a toothbrush just for dogs? :O
