Have you ever noticed that most of the time, a dog’s fart is silent?
Often, we will be sitting around watching t.v. or working on the computer, when we catch the waft of a full bodied bouquet.
At first, it is unclear where this distinctive smell originates from, but quickly we trace it back to one More ...
Snip, Snip – Yikes! They are gone!!
February 28th 2007
Today I was loaded up and brought to where the white coated lady lives. I was all ready to fight her AND all her Amazons, but they were giving me treats so I tolerated their company.
Suddenly I felt wozzy.
Did they drug my treats?!
Those sneaky, sneaky More ...
Pain in the Neck
February 16th 2007
Walking has not been very fun lately.
Both the Pungent-One and the Female in my pack have started to snap my leash during walks. Sometimes this happens very often.
It is painful especially when the Pungent Male does it. When the Female one does it, it is merely annoying. I More ...
Water + Shampoo + Tub = Not Our Friend
February 10th 2007
I really hate bath time.
Initially the Pungent Male tried to lure me into the cold and small space with cheese. I like cheese – but even cheese is not good enough to make me go into the cold, wet place.
After the cheese strategy More ...
Meet Takumi.
He is red, handsome, and absolutely fabulous!
It is no wonder that Masaaki Watase is totally smitten.
Nobody can resist that debonair smile and roguish good looks.
This lucky boy gets to enjoy beaches, ocean, and palm trees. His best friends are Alie (Welsh Corgi in one of the pictures below) and Mikey.
Many thanks More ...
There are many reasons that we come up with for not walking our dog.
1. Too Hot or Too Cold
The weather is probably one of the most frequently used excuses.
It is raining – I/my dog will get wet.
It is snowing – I/my dog will be too cold.
It is too hot – my dog will More ...
A really cool 2-legged one.
January 20th 2007
I got to meet a really cool 2-legged one today.
So far most of the 2-legs I’ve met have not been very impressive. Most have erratic energy that reflect fear, anger, or frustration.
Gary, however, is very different. Straight away I could sense that this one has an air More ...
Nail Clipping = Scream! Run Away! Scream! Run Away! recurse until nail clipper = NONE
January 30th 2007
Today I had one of the most frightening experiences of my life!
It started out pleasant enough, the ok smelling female was hugging me and giving lots of attention. Then the pungent male came over and paid homage to More ...
No lame technique like that is going to work on a Shiba!
December 31st 2006
I am getting more used to the pungent male and the not-too-smelly female.
They are not very good pack followers, but I am being patient about teaching them how to properly pay homage to my Shiba-ness.
However, a disturbing trend has started More ...
I made many dog training mistakes with Shiba Inu Sephy. Dog training is often counter-intuitive, and following our instincts, may often not be the right thing to do.
The good news is – If we are willing to learn, and put our own egos on hold, things will get a lot better – for everyone. Before More ...
