I guess I forget – because he has such a big personality and heart – but just now I turned the corner into my room and saw Snick sleeping (and shedding) on the corner of my bed and thought “Gee, he’s really quite small.” So, I went over and gave him hugs and snuggles and […]
NYC Shiba Inus and Their Human Companions
I couldn’t resist. There were so many people on meetup waiting to see if someone would start one, that I finally joined meetup.com and started a NYC Shiba group. For any NYC Shiba folks out there, check it out and join if you’re interested: http://shibainu.meetup.com/101/ The first meetup is scheduled for June 24th at 11:00 […]
Snickers is Afraid of Flying Insects
The evening of the May 24th – Snickers was acting weird at the dog run – breathing fast, staying right next to me. He was stung by a bee at the run last summer and flies made him nervous after that (till it got cold and they went away), but this was a bit extreme. […]
Snicks should be an Amabassador
I talk to so many people since I got Snickers. (Mostly because tourists are more likely to ask someone with a dog for directions, but also kids that want to know if they can “pet the puppy” and even the random Shiba owner or enthusiast that we run into.) Tonight, as Snick sat in one […]
Snickers’ Diet – What, Why and How
The recipe and reasoning behind the food and supplements that I give Snickers, including Dr. Harvey’s Canine Health, salmon, probiotics, enzymes, oils, cheese and… Quaker Oats!
Nothing Short of Forever…
will be long enough for Snickers to be in our lives.
When You Realize What You Don’t Know
I once worked in a pet store that sold dogs. I didn’t know about puppy mills or how many dogs die in shelters. I only just found out that breed-specific rescue group exist. What do I still not know, I wonder… ?
Snicks, The Valiant Hunter (or something)
Tonight, Snickers got to do something only country dogs usually get to do. He trotted proudly home with a prize held carefully between his teeth. He didn’t exactly hunt this down and kill it, but he certainly proved himself to be capable of procurring dinner. We were outside for our bedtime walk. As we were […]
Who Says Shibas Are Evil???
Shibas? Evil? Never! Um, well… maybe! Talk about evil eyes! (These were taken back in October when Snick’s buddy Toshi was over to play again. No Shibas were actually harmed during this playdate.)
Snick’s Favorite Toy
OK, I know I should be sleeping now, but I’m goofing around with the blog instead. What’s it to you? Sheesh! This was just a few days ago. This is clearly Snickers’ favorite toy. I just HAD to share this. He was furiously playing with his hedgehog one day and then basically just collapsed into […]
