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…

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!

Goo Goo the Pole Dancer

Goo Goo is learning how to walk on a leash. We haven’t trained her to walk properly yet because she’s timid when she’s outdoors. Living near a highway and having many tourists make for many loud noises and chatter that this Jersey girl is not used to so we are more focused on having her…

His Royal Diva-ness

Took Shio to Central Park for some off-leash running time this morning. Given the amount of pent up energy he’s had in the last few days, I figured that he would run it all off at the park. Or so I thought. We arrived at the park and walked up to the Great Hill. He…

What was he protesting? Or is he just not a morning person?

Powah to da shiba~ *raises paw*

Hi! My name is Knox. I’m a foxy shiba puppy living in northern MA. My humom read yur posts and sayz we are so much alike becuz I am the BOSS. I don’t really do well with walks either…unless theres LOTS of TREATS and zero distractions. But that’s rare. Humom says she likes your blog because we Shibas are a rare but fun breed.

AGREED!

Feel free to follow my blog: http://amoosa154.blogspot.com

Licks,
Knox

KNOX!!! You are utterly adorbs! Make sure your humans take lots of pictures of you growing up!

We postulate that Shio will enjoy pina coladas because he loves to eat everything in sight… But he does not enjoy getting caught in the rain. Tweet This Post

Soggy haiku:

Wet nose and wet paws
Damp Shio is not amused
“Enough with the rain!”

Shio, where do you hide your tail when it rains?

Hey Shio and family! The Suki crew will be in the Heights next weekend (sans Suki, unfortunately). If you happen to be at the dog park next Saturday, let us know. We’d love to me to you =)
