Goo Goo vs. Toys + Food

The most amusing part of fostering so far with Goo Goo is watching her try foods that are new to her. All these new flavors that she is just discovering are the same that Shio chows down with gusto. Watching Goo Goo playing with toys is hilarious too. She does not know how to play…

Kaiju’s like that with new things (toys and food, both), too. It’s funny how cautious he is. Even the birthday treats, he is suspicious. Reading about Goo Goo makes me want to go and hug her.

We hope the three shibas can play together soon!!

gasp! she’s SO CUTE!

our tsuki is cautious about food, or should i just say she’s downright picky…

Where Brooklyn At?

“Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?” ‘Cause Shio just moved and he’s trying to figure out where he’s at. Okay so it’s ridiculous to quote Biggie when we moved to downtown Brooklyn… a fairly safe neighborhood with lots of loved dogs. It’s been 3 weeks since we moved to our new dwelling and a much…

Oh my dog! Is that his new abode? Two-storey dwelling for Shio? Nice shag carpet for lounging, a dark covered sleeping cubby – he’s gonna love it!

woah, is that Shio’s own room? Very cool.

Just a little corner for him. :)

Yes! We hope so!

Wow, I live in Brooklyn too. But not in such a beautiful house. ;__; Shio looks happy with his own corner. XD

Now imagine that you were wearing a mini skirt and stilettos…

Cute puppies with bad habits are hard to correct because they are so cute. But we need to for the sake of having a seemingly well behaved dog, we corrected Shio the first moment that we saw it happen. Before each correction, I used to think to myself, “If this happened to me while I…

How do you stop Shio from jumping? Betsy is terrible with the jumping. She gets so excited she doesn’t know how to contain herself.

I feel your pain! I’m too cut up to wear skirts to work this summer. I have scars from flexi leash rope burn right on my calf.

I feel silly when strangers say “who’s walking who?” when my shiba pulls on walks. I recently got a shorter and wider leash and it makes a difference. He gets less momentum when he pulls and you don’t have to exert as much energy to pull the dog back.

Good philosophy, stilettos and mini skirt. I’ll have to try that.

I’ve thought about a short skirt, but never stilettos. The bar for my shiba just got higher!

Shio vs. Jersey Shore

Rain, rain, go away. Come back… never!  It’s another cold & rainy day in NYC so to keep myself entertained, here’s a fun post. Reasons why Shio should be on the cast of Jersey Shore: 1. Shio rides with popped collars only. Wut wut. 2. Shio wears sunglasses… indoors. 3. He can beat the stuffing…

Hilarious! Wut, wut!

don’t get arrested Shio! so adorable

This is hilarious!! I love popping the collar on Romeo’s polo! He looks so cool! :)

You..were…able…to…get…clothes..on…a…SHIBA?? My goodness, you would think the world has ended when I try to put stuff on Zuko! He freezes and just stands there. I tried sunglasses too – nope. He kept walking away and giving me that disgusted Shiba look.

LOOOL. #3 and #5 are the funniest thing everrrr! XDD

Shio’s Current Favorite Toy

It’s amazing that J and I will spend good money on toys that we think Shio will love but the ones he loves are the cheapest toys in his toy box. He currently loves the Petco toy that I bought for him as a compulsive, last minute buy. It is a plush sheep squeaky ball…

Hello, I just recently came across your blog and have been reading since. Love your Shio and your blog! I see so many similarities between your Shio and our Maggie, it’s kind of funny. Maggie also loves cheap things like ice cubes, cardboard, plastic containers, slippers and bottle caps. When I buy her toys like remote controlled mouse or stuffed toy she will play with it for the first five minutes, gets bored and goes back to the cheaper things. So funny….
