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…
Shibas don’t shed. They “change coats.” Yeh… Right… Photos taken with Contax 645, 80mm f/2, on Kodak Portra 400NC. Developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab. Tweet This Post

Yeah flash is officially starting to blow his coat too. I am doing daily brushings to keep it in the check. His solution is to roll around on the carpet turning it gray 
Haha. All the furniture and sheets we pick out now are either gray or beige. 
those photos are so nice. everyone seems to be talking about their shibas shedding, and kaiju has not blown his coat like this yet (ever) … it almost worries me :O
LOL! I think it’s called blowing coat! Someone did a hilarious youtube video, grooming a Sibierian in the kitchen…afterwards they did snow angels in the fur…
Hahaha. That’s cute.
Shio usually attacks and eats his own fur, leaving us to pull out wet and matted fur out of his mouth.
Happy Holidays everyone! It’s THAT time of the year… the time to gorge ourselves on booze, food and presents galore. It’s also time for the “best of” countdowns! Counting down our favorite moments on this blog from 2010: 10. The size of Shio’s ego vs. reality 9. Bath time! 8. Any video of Shibas frolicking…

Shedding haiku 2:
Galaxy of fur
Circles the dark ottoman
Shio went nova!
i just found this japanese site (http://www.mylittledog.net/my_little_dog.html). you send them shiba fur, and they make you a shiba figurine with it…

shio can have a mini-me shio!
From this morning: If I could ask Shio just two questions at this moment (assuming that he was able to respond) they would be: 1. Where the eff does all this fur come from?! and 2. How are you not bald?!!? Tweet This Post

my question is… how do you clean up after this? a vacuum cleaner?
Our Dyson DC25 is my bestestest friend during shedding season. And by shedding season I mean all year round.
That’s right! LOL
He’s quite talented in that department!
Yes!!!!
OMGoodness. I thought our two shibas were shedding bad. It’s never ending huh? I swear I could vacuum and swiffer the floors squeaky clean and then a few hours later, it’s already covered. Where the heck does it all come from? I heard from other pet owners too that the Dyson is amazing but it’s soooo expensive! I haven’t gotten around to buying it yet but I hear it’s worth every penny.

awwww, thanks for the update!
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!
