Trust is earned. Fight for what you want (treats). Fight against what you don’t want (baths). When you see/smell something you like, throw your whole body weight into it. Always stare blankly at an incredulous request (cuddling). If you think someone is going to take food out of your mouth, chew faster. If someone has…
On Tuesday morning, I braved the rain to meet Alice and Kicho at the Barnes and Noble located in Union Square. My saying that I braved the rain is nothing compared to Alice’s bravery to loving her beautiful Shiba, Kicho. Kicho sat quietly in her bag as Alice began to share the story of Kicho’s…

oh my gosh – her struggles are heartbreaking!
Poor little Kicho! She is such a pretty tiny and sweet looking shiba. Her story just devastates me!!
Shio is the best alarm system we’ve ever spent our money on. Why not get a sign to go with it? Protected By ” Shiba Inus Home Security System ” Parking Sign Dog Tweet This Post

I’m so buying this. =P
Yes!
LOOOL! That’s so funny! Ahh so cute. >w<
We never used to worry about Shio running out the front door into the street. Was it because we’re bad dog owners? Nope. It’s because he would have to run out the front door, down the hallway, wait for the elevator, ride the elevator to the lobby, run out the building’s front door and then get to…

Ahhh… Shiba digging. We’ve lost a few good sheets & padding in our home because Katsumi will try to dig at anything & everything. Can you eventually get a fence or maybe invisible fence? We are dealing with the same problem and might just get a dog run… Love the photos!
Digging Shiba hineys are the best 
Anouk and I are moving soon and I’m real worried about how that’s going to go. She’s a super-skittish gal. Seeing Shio take it like such a champ makes me confident tho!
We’ll be neighbors!!!
I’ve decided to bring Shio to the backyard only when I need to turn my soil. His Shibascaping skills are amazing too! 
HAHAHAHA! That last photo is too funny! Tag team effort.
I walked by a pet shop in our neighborhood and saw a Shiba in the window. Went in and asked about the price. Me: “How much for the Shiba?” Pet Store Guy: “She is 1450 ‘randomly’ discounted from 1650.” Me: “Okay.” Pet Store Guy: “She’s got a knee problem. Her knee…” Me (interrupting): “Luxating patella?”…

AWW! This breaks my heart! I have often wondered if we got Romeo from a puppy mill. It was kind of a weird deal and the breeders met us at a Mcdonalds to deliver him. And I never saw his parents! But I am SO glad he is mine now so I just try not to worry about it. Seeing that baby Shiba makes me want another one! Romeo just loves being the only child so I am not sure I could do it to him! Plus, I am not sure I could handle 2 shibas! Ha! Hope Shio is doing well!
oh man 
i started imagining….someone’s going to get this little girl, realize that it’s going to cost him/her tons to fix the physical issue, is unable to afford it, and…. ok, i’ll try not to imagine the worst. i really hope she lands in good hands…
Aww… I remember being lured by pet stores when shibas were the craze. Thankfully they’re no longer ‘popular’ so I don’t see them as often.. It woulda been so hard for me to walk away from that doggie
D’oh-
That looks like the NYC pet shop (grrrr, forget the name right now) I’ve seen on USTREAM-they always have the shredded newspaper.

Oh those eyes! Shiba puppy eyes! He looks so sweet and cute and afraid! I guess there was a vacuum?
I think the videos of Shio in Sephora’s perfume section are so funny– they always make my day!
“all of the above!”
He would be fiercely attacking our vacuum if it were out!
If I remember correctly (old picture from old apt) he was under the couch trying to retrieve his Kong toy. It’s really just his pathetic “I can’t get my toy so will you pls help me” puppy eyed look!
