Emi’s February and March Update

Why hello neglected blog! Long time no update! I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve been avoiding updates because so much time has passed since our last one that there is just too much to write. So I’ll just start off with Emi’s update. It’s been a crazy 2 months for our dear little adopted…

I’m so happy to hear that Emi is doing well!
Just a point about the vomiting bile (and how pleasant that is to wake up to…:S) – my Koi does that every once in a while. We think that it’s b/c she’s so anxious to eat breakfast that she’ll throw up (she gets fed at 6am, she usually throws up before then, never in the afternoon/evening). We try and give her a small snack late at night so that she’s not on an entirely empty stomach by the time her breakfast arrives.

Nothing like keeping it interesting, Emi!
Phew!!!

Kiba ate a peach pit before… I watched him like a hawk… it passed :)

Our family calls it the Happy Shiba Smile. Our 8 yr old girl , Tori, always smiles when she gets to her favorite park, Hopkinton State Park, in MA. We rarely see a Shiba in our area of the west suburbs of Boston. Our breeder, Cheri Sullo, repeatedly told us to constantly socialize our 7 week old pup with people of all ages and dogs of all sizes. She was right! Our Shiba loves to socialize and if I don’t get her out enough then she gets depressed and will show it by unintentionally having what the Vet calls Stress Induced Incontinance. That means, ocassionally, she leaks urine. It’ll also happen after we’ve just returned home after walking her for 2 hours and I’ll see little wet droplets on the floor where she had just walked…so annoying. Giving her tiny pieces of dried cranberries, in her favorite creamy peanut butter, helps the Incontinance. Thanks for sharing your Shiba blog. Both my daughters and I have fun hearing about and seeing other cute Shibas. Keep sharing!
