Week 3 with Goo Goo

Just finished up our third week with Goo Goo. She’s doing a great job coming out of her shell. Instead of hiding in or under shady places now, she is ready to meet the world with her bad ass Shiba self. I originally thought she would be okay with meeting new people but she’s more…

I think you guys may have pushed us over the edge in getting a second sheeb ;)

The Blame Game

I don’t know what it’s like to have a child but I imagine that having a dog helps prepare a couple for one. For instance, Josh and I sat around playing the blame game today. Me: Shio kept me up all night. Josh: Because he’s been sitting at home the last three days and has…

hmm….so why didn’t Shio’s hudad exercise him if he noticed it needed done? ;-)
We are lucky – Zuko is pretty lazy and doggie daycare gets rid of *most* of the rest of his energy during the week. And he sleeps VERY well at night. Though he has been running in his sleep the last two nights and kicking me….

Shio’s New Play Move

Dogs really do learn from each other! Shio now sits on his butt and waits for his play opponent to bust-a-move before leaving his position. This was a trick shown to him by his friend Grizz. Tweet This Post

I got to see a Shiba in Central Park yesterday! I was so excited to see another one! I am home now and my Shiba is shedding like crazy and is so happy to see his momma! Enjoyed my time in NYC and look forward to seeing more of Shio!

Drama!!!

This morning, I took Shio to the dog run next to the Museum of Natural History for a quickie play and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that there were only two chocolate labs (one puppy and one adult) frolicking in the big area. I thought, “Score!!! Now Shio can run and play as he…

Shio, baby! Awwww, you just THOUGHT the big puppy hurt your paw, you’re fine.

Hi Shio!
My mum and I love your blog and tales of your antics! I’m glad your paw is okay and mum had a nice chuckle about your ‘dramatic Shiba screams.’ (*I* know how bad getting bowled over by a clumsy puppy is, but *she* just thought it was funny. How insensitive.)
Looking forward to your posts! :)

That is too funny!! I remember when Romeo fell off our bed as a pup and screamed so loud, I just knew he had a broken it but nope… nothing was wrong. Also when my parents husky got mad at him one day, he ran under the bed and pouted! They really are so dramatic! Our friends shiba does the same type stuff and is even more dramatic that Romeo. I just love shibas and their quirky personalities!

Shio sounds like a great shiba. Do you take his collar off when you’re home?

[...] thought I'd follow up with my previous post by talking a little more about the Shiba [...]

Diva!
My Sakie tripped slightly while rushing out of the elevator on our floor. She limped dramatically, holding up her right paw. I was so worried, I carried the 30lb-highness all the way to the door… only to put her down gently and watch her daintily walk (on all four) to her bowl for a drink.

Bah.

Yes – We think he looks handsome without his collar! :)

We used to leave the collar on bc the jingling of the tags will let us know where he ran off to but now we track him by the tapping sound of his nails on our hardwood floors!

LOL, that’s so cute. The way you described the scream sounded like bloody murder only it turns out to be an overreaction! So cute! >w<
