I used to have a lovely floor cushion and floor pillow and my own fluffy dog bed when I lived in Maryland with Sis, but Shiro chewed a whole in my fluffy dog bed, and the pillows are back to Sis's room so Shiro doesn't destroy them.

Getting to Know Me

We had a surrrprise visit from Sis and her friend Crystalee, who has hair the color of Akira's today. It was too short, but nice anyways. Today I'm going to post this survey that's been going around, then maybe Akira will post his answers tomorow.

From the Photo Archives: The Shiro Hole



Way back when I was a tiny puppy, my favorite place to hang out was under the couch. Now, I can still get under there if I breath in real deep and shove myself in, and I do when the Cuz gets lost under there or something, but back when I was smaller, I used to just chill under the couch. It was shady, there were cool things hanging down to play with, I could pull out stuffing if I got bored, I could make a quick getaway from Akira when we were wrestling, ah those were the days. Now Sis just found these never-before-seen-on-the-Internet-pictures of me in my glory days. Hope you enjoy them. I know I enjoyed it when it happened!


Luv,


Shiro

What do you mean I'm part cat?

Sis thinks it's funny when one of us does this. Akira does it to, but it's not been recorded by film yet. Here're some pics of me walking on top of the couch. Sis says I look like a kitty cat when I do that. Well, I never....
Luv,

Shiro

We Really Do Love Each Other!

Sis caputred a picture of us laying really really close together, which she says is rare, but she doesn't know what it's like when no people are home!
Luv,
Akira & Shiro

Father's Day

Sarah and Shiro with their Daddy!


We were extra nice to our Dad on Daddy-Day! We told him he could take long naps with us, kick back on the couch, have a nice steak dinner with us, and then go for a refreshing evening walk! Aren't we good sons? We are our Dad's little athletes, we like to play ball with him and wrestle. Happy Daddy Day!

From the Archives...


Sis was on our Brother's old computer and found these never-before-seen-on-the-Internet pictures from Shiro's 1st Day home! Enjoy!

Long Time No Lick

Hey pals!
We are so sorry we haven't posted in a while, but the good news is our Sis has visited us bunches and bunches in the last couple of weeks, so we have so many new pictures to post now! She is good about taking pictures. Plus our Mom got a new digital camera herself, and she can't resist snapping photos of us either. We really should start charging for our modelling time! We will be posting the pics under new separate posts so that they are easier to find later :-). We look forward to catching up with you all very soon! Our Sis has actually been having medical problems, so we've been busy taking care of her when she was here!

Luv,
Akira & Shiro
