We went extra early today to the beach, and the light was delicious! Found this odd structure for Shio to pose in… No Shio Day is complete without a marrow bone… Photos taken with Lumix GF1, Lensbaby Tilt Transformer + Zeiss 50mm f/1.4, and G VARIO 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6. Tweet This Post
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…

Love these pics especially the action shot in the middle. The first one is sort of poignant–Shio at sunset–hope he got some treats from that dinner!
What beach do you take Shio to? We are looking for a spot for our Shiba too.
Aloha,
We have a 7 week old Shiba (Koji) – My last doggie was a Jindo and I think they have a lot of similarities…(Cat like, dignified goofballs, stubborn, smart)
Our Shiba throws temper tantrums (screams) and of course I heard about this, did you experience that? They grow out of it? I’m an experienced dog owner, just a long time since I had a puppy…We will be going to puppy socials when has shots, and have him meeting all kinds of people, just at night, maybe he’s tired and mean mommy wants him to stop chewing on the wall and all hell breaks loose… 
Any words of encouragement??? ha!
Mahalos, love your blog…
Koji’s mom….
There are beaches in Atlantic City and Fire Island that you can go to without getting ticketed!
Yes! We have a friend who has a Jindo and oh-my-gosh he was just as determined as a Shiba.
Haha – Shio screamed a handful of times when he was a puppy and it was awful. He definitely grew out of the screaming but still has temper tantrums. Here are some of our posts about the Shiba scream: http://www.shiotheshiba.com/blog/tag/shiba-scream/
Good luck with Koji and take lots of pictures while he’s still little!
Oh we must live near each other then! Shio does look familiar! There’s been so many Shibas in the neighborhood. I live in the West Village so I’m very close to the Hudson River Park. Sumo and Kicho loves it there. Once in awhile, we’ll go to Central Park too during their off leash hours.
The rain clouds made great backdrop. Click to see a large version. Shio was beginning to chase the seagull… Shio chilling on some rocks admiring the view… Even though we already tried to strip Shio of his winter coat, he still gets very hot. Yet, he refuses to go into the water… As usual, Shio…

Wow! Looks like Shio had lots of fun!
Great beach pics!
My shiba won’t go in the water either 
He just started to approach it and licks the pond water.
Some friends and I took advantage of the beautiful weekday weather by driving out to a beach in Queens to let the pups run around. Living in NYC, we rarely have the chance to take Shio out to the beach to let him run free like a real dog. It was a real treat to…

great pics. suki & jonathan fleming would be proud!
Delicious indeed!!
Lovely! Heard you were Kit and Betsy’s paparazzi yesterday!
Shio is so lucky!
Lucky pup! Tell us about the bone marrow thing. The ones I see from Primal at the store seem to big for a Shiba and I would expect them to be messy on the floor…. ??
Yes! I totally captured Betsy’s tail and Kit’s … butt. I need to work on my pap skills.
We buy a fresh (i.e. not frozen or pre-packaged) marrow bone from the butcher every Saturday. Shio then basically spends the whole day gnawing at it. They are big, but he has a great time with it and loves chewing it. We throw it out at the end of the night. That’s really it!
Some more info on marrow bones can be found here: http://www.ahimsarescuefoundation.org/bones.htm
Hope this was helpful!
Thanks!
More like spoiled by his dad! LOL
Ah. So you spotted his signature butt arrow.
Oh yes!
