Update on Emi

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…

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!

Wow, Shio, your people take VERY good care of you! So nice!

Shio vs. Mom II

T is obsessed with brushing Shio’s teeth. As a result, Shio has better dental hygiene than me, and his teeth are certainly whiter than mine. However, Shio does not particularly enjoy the brushing… Photo taken with Nikon D700, 50mm f/1.4G @ f/1.8 and 1/80, ISO 2500. Tweet This Post

Shio’s Baby Teeth

Vet: “Before you know it, he’ll start losing his teeth.” Me: “He loses his teeth?!” Vet: “Yes, at around 6 months he’ll start losing his baby teeth. You won’t even notice. You might find one or two in his toys but he’ll swallow most of them.” Shio is 5 months old.  We have found 6…
