Update on Emi

Time for an Emi update! Even though we’ve already adopted her, she’s still growing in so many ways to adapt both to her new environment and our routines at home. She has officially been ours since December 13th but she came into our home as a foster on October 21st. This is our 3 month…

With 20+ other dogs in her former home, how much personal space could she have had? She lived in a Shiba tenement.

I’m so glad she’s got the home she deserves, and I love love love that picture of her, chin on Shio, looking contentedly at the camera! She’s healthy and happy, you guys are doing a fantastic job.

How absolutely fantastic. Oh I love these adoption success stories, and photos of happy and healthy dogs. It keeps me going. Honestly… thank you!

What wonderful progress!! Agreeing with the others, glad she has found such a lovely family to adopt :) Especially loving how both pups have bonded!

That last pic of Emi would make a terrific postcard.

Ahhh! Shiba in the snoooow! The best!! My pup Mayu, somehow randomly got all sissy when it snowed here in Philly… roughly ~3 inches? She stood out there all shivering for no reason (and not being ill either) XD

Shibas Love The Cold

Saturday was probably one of the coldest days of the years so far. Ting and I were both bundled up in our warmest clothes. Shio and Emi, on the other hand, were happy to run free in the park. It was so cold I couldn’t even really focus on taking photos…! Photos taken with Panasonic GH2,…
