I finally got around to trying out the Westcott Apollo 28″ softbox + RadioPoppers PX.
Of course, who better a test model than Shio?
Shio was extremely curious about the softbox. He tried to chew at the velcro, wanted to poke his head in when I was setting it up, etc.
The results?
For other photo-geeks, the photos were shot with a Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4G, SU-800 + RadioPopper PX, SB-900 + Westcott Apollo 28″ Softbox. Minor post-processing done in Aperture.

The single major change that we’ve seen in Shio is his change in willingness to cuddle with us. He used to struggle and jump out of our arms but lately, he’s stays in our arms… that is until he finds an opportunity to escape!
Lately, he’s been fascinated with teething on his plastic crate. I’m sure that when we bring him to the airport in his crate they will think that we have a rabid dog on our hands.
Shio’s bad habit of teething on our floor continues. :(

I have a 5 month old shiba named Kumo that looks a lot like your Shio! And he did the same thing. I’m used to dogs that loved to cuddle and keep my feet warm so naturally I was disappointed when Kumo preferred his independence over me. In the last few weeks he has started to jump up next to me on his own and snuggle up beside me or lay across my lap for little cat naps. 
yay!
I love the site, by the way, great shots of your adorable shiba and the stories are so shiba 
love it!
We have small playdates in our apartment for Shio with dogs in my building, especially on rainy days like today. Here’s some pics from today:
After an hour of playing… he has completely passed out.

Hi Ting & Josh,
What an adorable website. Georgie can only aspire to be so good and so smart. I don’t think he’d even realize what a potty bell is for, since he’s still unsure of his name and scared of his own shadow!
I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be going to the dog park today if it’s raining…I’m sure you won’t take Shio in the rain either but I justwanted to let you know Hopefully we’ll see the sun and the two of you there soon.

Got a chance to hang out with Shio at the dog-run today.
Took a few snaps of him playing.
