In reply to Rhonda. Great to see you again Rhonda. Sephy is doing pretty well. He also has some arthritis, on his back. It starts bothering him when he does too much, but as long as we keep him from over-doing it, he is good. Has your vet suggested Adequan? That is something that may help with osteo-athritis by lubricating the joints. However, since it is an injection, it is not something we can do with Sephy. Big big hugs to Lucky. How old is he now? Sephy is 11+. How quickly time flies.

It has been a while since I have been on here. Love the new look. Lucky is suffering now from arthritis in his back legs. We are trying to keep him comfortable, but he does have some difficulty when walking. Some days he plays, but others would rather spend in bed. How is Sephy?

In reply to R Frank.

we are very careful to only allow him to play with any toy while we are in the room.

That is very good advice.

He has also dismantled several other toys labeled “indestructable.” These were not for small dogs, they were for larger breeds because we were certain he would destroy the smaller ones.

Heh - Sephy is the same way. One of my neighbors once commented to me that Sephy has really large teeth in relation to his body size and it is very true. Shibas have really large teeth and they are more like a big dog in a little dog body. :D

Please be careful with the wobble kong toys. Lucky the Shiba destroyed one sometime during a two week period while I was away this summer. We are thankful nothing got stuck in his tummy.
He simply dismantled it. When I arrived home, the children showed me what was left and we are very careful to only allow him to play with any toy while we are in the room.
