what is it with shiba inus, anyway???
Today I spent the day with my amazing cousin, Maribeth, her hubby, their dogs and new puppies…and my not so amazing shiba inu.
I took Wolf with me, since he’s been acting weird since being kenneled last weekend. I left him in the car in the cool garage while the 3 humans ate lunch…a very delicious eggplant parmesan with a glass of wine…yum! Afterward, Maribeth and I decided to go to the craft fair downtown, and we brought Wolf with us. She bought some hot pepper jelly and I bought dog treats. Everyone and their mother commented on Wolf…”Oh, he’s so cute!”, “Can I pet him?”, “What kind of dog is that?”, just the typical things folks say when I bring Wolf out in public. He handled it well, in that he ignored most of the people and pretended, I think, he was king of all he surveyed. Oh wait…yeah, he doesn’t have to pretend that.
On the way back to Maribeth’s, Wolf started acting weird…wouldn’t drink, wouldn’t eat, tore up the magazines Megan gave me last night and made a nest in the car…think I’m joking, right? I wish…he also shed hair over every possible surface in the car. Then I had to fight him to get him back in the crate. I offered him lobster…no I don’t want it, he emphatically made it known.
So after a lovely lobster, baked potato and corn on the cob dinner, I had to leave and take my pain in the ass lovely shiba inu home.
The second I pulled into the driveway, got out of the car and opened his crate, he decided it was time to eat one of the crack biscuits I left for him in the car and then immediately wanted to be fed as soon as we got in the door. Then he did the Shiba 500 around the house, played with a couple toys and is snoring peacefully on the couch.
No shiba shots…but here is a dackel puppy shot:
mmmm, you’re delicious, nom nom nom!
Shibas are weird…

Cute puppy pic! Puppies, lobster and crafts – you guys had a great day. I hadn’t realized the crafts fair came around twice a year.

More like 3 times a year Robin.
It was great to have you here my lovely cousin! Love your hair cut. It is fabulous!
Glad Wolf was okay, I think the poor boy has an excellent memory and is worried sick he may be left again.
Miss Pink is friskier today, but still having a problem.

Oh wolfie! Always wanting Mama’s attention. Did the doc say anything when he went for his check up on Sat?

*giggles* num, num.
Kinu was moody like the sounds of Wolf & she definitely had an only-on-my-terms gene … I used to think that had a lot to do with where she came from, but after this, I’m thinking she was a true blue Shiba.

What do you think is going on with Wolfie? Everything OK with his vet appointment?
OMG, those puppies are so freaking adorable!

Ohh Wolf was MAD that he got left in the car! I hope it’s nothing more serious than a temper tantrum!

Sounds like a great time was had by all except for Wolf! The puppies are beautiful!!! And, that lobster looks darn good!

Oliver is very sensitive to my absene also, so I take him with me as much as possible, he was suppose to be a small Jack Russell well I found out he was mixed on his fathers side with a bull terrier/jack russell so now he weighs 23 pounds, forget about carring his not so little rear. Those puppies are adorable…..:D
Love the flower, didn’t do this meme this week, but plenty of flowers and Oliver to. I did Friday Fill in late but it’s up. Oh yes, I won in court, of course this kind of win is never a happy one even so a friend tells me “weak men need to be hurt” yea!

This might be why I have a cat instead of a dog. She is always happy to see us come home (assuming we’ve been away for at least a day – it takes longer for the absence makes the heart grow fonder stuff with cats). On the other hand, the last day and a half of moving here, she meowed in the car… a lot.
I hope Wolf is just giving you grief for abandoning him, and not because he is sick!
Puppies are Adorable!!
Lobster looks incredible delicious. My mouth is watering, you lucky New Englander, you!!

heeheehee, jst be glad you didn’t need to bust out the “Don’t make me take you home!”
LOL
poor Wolf

I’ve said it before & I am sure I’ll say it again: I wish babies & dogs came with thought bubbles over their heads!

I think Wolf was in the midst of a canine panic attack. Even that luscious lobster couldn’t bring him out of it. (holy-moly and that lobster looks yum!) Poor lil’ poppet, Wolfie!
BTW: that munching puppy is adorable!

He turned down lobster? Oy.

Is Wolf acting better now?
