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!
