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.

Happy Life Tip 1 – Live in the Moment
It is very easy to get lost in the details of work and day to day life. I am a worrier by nature, and sometimes, even small events at work or at home cause me a fair amount of stress and unhappiness.

I got a comment recently from Shiba Monty, a.k.a. Montasaurus about his adventures at the beach, including the new game of beach-ball-tag that he invented.
Shiba Sephy was exactly the same way when I used to take him to enclosed dog parks. He is not interested in playing fetch, but he is very interested in stealing More ...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!
Thank you for visiting with Sephy and Shania and for sharing your dog stories with us. It has been great to have such a nice group of people to talk with about Shiba and dog issues.

A few weeks ago I tried out a bubble machine to see if my dogs would enjoy it.
It was a great success!
My Shiba Inu had a merry ole time chasing the bubbles around the backyard and even did some leaping to get at some of the ones that were flying away. My Siberian Husky More ...
