Our Communities and a Lost Dog Named Lili

I’m truly amazed every day by our Shiba community and our neighborhood. Last week, I was able to witness the power of their connectivity first hand. On Wednesday evening, during dinner with a Shiba friend she told that Lili, a Shiba in our neighborhood, had been missing since Tuesday. A few hours after I returned…

They found her??!!! Oh, that’s so wonderful. I was so worried. How was she found? And thank you so very much for looking for her. Yes, the Shiba Inu community is really something.

What my Shiba has taught me.

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…

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!

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!!

Re-Training Shio

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.
