First of all, nobody can access our brainwaves to read our highly advanced minds! Second, I do not like the idea of the ultrasonic whistle. Finally, however, it might all be worth it for the homebaked treats....hmmmm....

Our Review: This product is for the humans who like to write down everything we dogs do, and take lots of pictures, and stuff.... so it'd probably be pretty good for most of your parents. Part of the book is better if the human is just starting the process of bringing a dog to live with them, because it has places to record information about breeders and rescue groups, questions the humans should ask, how to figure out what kind of dog is right for their personalities and living situation, etc. There were a few other sections of the book only applicable to certain dog-owners, but most of it was more universal. There is space to keep track of medical history, training information, and just plain fun stuff like anecdotal stories and pictures. Our Sis purchased this book at a Barnes & Noble that will be closing at the end of December, so it was 40% off list price (she got it for around $11). On the Internet, it is available at http://www.amazon.com , http://www.bn.com , http://www.bamm.com and others for around $19.95.

Imported Shiba Inu Gifts

We still need to scan the Shiba-a-week calendar our dear friend Nobuko sent us from Japan, but meanwhile, we have found some interesting Shiba Inu items currently for sale in Japan. This first installment will bring you some items only featured on the Japanese language website of http://www.hanadeka.com. Hanadeka means big-nosed and these items are extreme close-ups, much like "The Dog" items in the U.S. First we have the calendar:



Next, Shiba stickers:



Finally, what appears to be a Shiba puzzle!



These items can be seen by going to the Japanese version of Hanadeka, then clicking on the button on the left hand side that also says "Goods" in English to get to the store.

According to a Japanese friend, the price on the calendar is 714yen(about $6.50), but we don't know if they ship to the U.S. or not.
