A few weeks ago at one of my NYC Shiba Inu Meetups, someone asked me “do you know who owns this dog?” He was pointing to a poor quality male Shiba standing near me. I replied “Sorry, I don’t. Is something wrong?” He said “No, I’m planning to breed my female and he has all […]
Citizen Snickers
Snickers passed his Canine Good Citizen test today. Yay Snickers!!! We went to the My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair with our NYC Shiba Inu Meetup group today. He was scheduled to take the CGC test on October 24th but they were doing testing in the park and I thought “what the heck! we’ll […]
What We Learned (or didn’t?)
Back in March, I wrote an entry titled "When You Realize What You Don’t Know." It took five days to find the words for that post. It was worth it though, because the response was AMAZING. It turned into a great conversation which lasted two or three days. And then, that was it. For the […]
Our First Secret Pictures
Some of them are a bit fuzzy because we were mostly avoiding using the flash. We figure she’d been through enough yesterday without getting flashed in the face too! Click to embiggen* *I’ve totally stolen the word embiggen from Lachlan and plan to use it every chance I get.
The Introduction
Snickers knew something was up when we left the apartment. He could smell Secret’s kennel in the hallway. He walked so nice with me to Bryant Park, looking up at me at every intersection to make sure I saw how good he was being. When we got to the park, I spotted ~T~ and pointed […]
~T~ and Snickers have a Secret
What a day! When I woke up this morning it was raining. What could be worse on a day that I needed to introduce two water-hating Shibas to each other on neutral territory?!?! Snick and I didn’t even go out until about 11:30, but luckily the sun came out shortly after we went out. I […]
Secret is Coming
We will be picking Secret up at the airport this Sunday at 2:00 PM. Hee hee!!! I’m not ready. Her leash and collar are here though and she’s coming with an initial supply of food. ~T~ and I have a plan for introducing her to Snick before bringing her into the apartment and T has […]
Snick the Model
A few days ago, I referred to a photographer, but gave no detail. Well, the detail is that Snickers got to be a model for a day (unpaid, just for fun) for Urban Hund’s Fall 2006 Collection. The photographer, Kent Henderson, emailed me a few days ago to say that a picture of Snickers made […]
Best Dog Friends
A few weeks ago, Snickers had his first sleep over. He goes to the dog run, he has playdates, he goes to doggie daycare, but this was new. His friend, Bean, spent a whole weekend with us! (Bean’s companions – Beth & Jeff – had to go out of town. We were dogsitting.) Snickers and […]
Shhh… Don’t Tell Snickers
Snickers doesn’t know yet. ~T~ and I have a secret… actually, we’re getting a Secret. A dog named Secret! She is a six year old, red Shiba Inu. She been living temporarily, as a foster dog, with the breeder that owns and shows Snick’s brother in North Carolina since January of this year. She needs […]
