Hi Sarah,

“You will in all likelyhood have to rearrange your life in some way or other to make room for it in your life.”

So very true. I truly think there should be more control and education at the point of sale. Sadly, dogs don’t have a very strong lobby in DC, or even at the State level.

Shibashake,

That is so true. All to often people get a dog because they are cute, the neighbors dog is such a great dog or because they feel a need to fill a void in their lives.

Unfortunately they tend to forget that having a dog is a great commitment. You will need to take care of the dog, walk it, play with it and so on. You will in all likelyhood have to rearrange your life in some way or other to make room for it in your life.

Hello Cynthia,
Yeah it is really sad. I think people often get dogs to fulfill their own needs and do not really think about the dog’s needs. Sometimes, it is an issue of just not having the right information.

I really believe that there should be more control at the point of sale. Totally getting rid of puppy mills would be a good first step.

I totally agree with you that Shibas should be walked daily and be runned a couple of time every week.

I cannot even believe that some people don’t even walk weekly their shibas !
