Works of Art
Here're some from the old archives. Sis found a cd-rom labeled "Pics and Docs," so she popped it in to see what was on it, and found these that our human brother made of us on the computer! Don't we look lovely! You should frame them and hang them in your gallery!

Happy Birthday Sissy!
We helped Sissy celebrate her birthday this past weekend! We both gave her kissies at the same time, even! Then when she had to go back to school, we ran in the garage and jumped in the car. We could help her in class! We know how to sit and stay and stuff like that, so how hard can it be? She says she has to work, too, but we think we can handle that also. We're so sad when she leaves, but so happy when she comes back!

NAUGHTIEST???
Why, whatever do you mean by this, Sis??? Why did you enter me in the naughtiest doggie picture contest? You couldn't even snap a picture of me doing the *really* naughty things like tearing up the couch cushions or jumping onto the counter and stealing the food. haha. Oh well, it'd still be nice to win something! So vote for me all you dogs and peeps!

My Weekend With Sis
Sis sure does spoil me when she's home. She lets me walk with her down the street with all the noisy dogs that bark at us to the lake where there is something swimming in it! It surfaces so quickly we can't tell what it is yet. But today, we heard a giant crashing sound in the brush accross the lake, and then saw a huge deer! We also said hello to a big dog tied up in his backyard. He was big, but looked old and was friendly, wagging his tail. Then we saw a bluejay on our way home. Not as good as seeing a turkey, though. I hope Sis takes me to see the turkeys on Campus one day. Here is a picture of a few of them (there are 8 or 9 of them all together, though!)
Signing out,

Hurray!
Hurray! Sis came home for the weekend! Double hurray: The pictures of me and Akira sleeping didn't turn out! That's what she gets for using a disposable camera! The Dad took a picture of Sis helping Akira and me with our Galileo bones (we have her wrapped around our little paws!):
Unfortunately for Akira, one picture of him did turn out (Akira thinks it's embarrassing, catching him scratching an itch, but Sis thought it was cute how he used his back leg to scratch his ear):
Finally, Sis captured a picture of the evil toads hidey-hole. Only one of them was home right then (can you find him?), cause sis had had to rescue one from my clutches in the yard, then she carried him thru the house and out the front door, and it hadn't made it back to it's hole.
Overall, it was a pretty good weekend, with Sis being home. I got to kiss, play with, and cuddle with Sis, and Akira even played with her and me. For the first time (ever), Akira and I played tug-of-war. Sis and Akira were playing with the green ring, and I wanted to play too, so Sis told me to grab on with my teeth and I did. Even with both Sis and I pulling, Akira still won, but it was fun. Then I found out, I can make him drop the green ring if I attack him instead of the ring, but Sis says that isn't nice. Sis is back in Pittsburgh. I tried to dig out of the fenced-in back yard when I saw her trying to escape. She came over to the fence and tried to kiss me through i, while I tried to jump over it.
Until next time,
Shiro-da-biro

Hooowwwllll!!!
We did it again, we expressed our strong distaste at our Sis leaving us last Sunday. And she usually stays until Tuesday afternoon! But now she has something like when the mom and the dad go to work without us (although one time Dad brough us to show us off, and that was fun), but it's called "service." She's in something called AmeriCorps in addition to going to school. Right now she's in training. We tried to tell her we already trained her, and we could even teach her tricks if she wanted, but she didn't seem to get it. But sis is coming to see us again tomorrow!!! And we heard that she made friends with someone at a pet supply store who might be able to get us discount doggie cookies! it's still not worth her being gone from us so much, but at least it's a consolation.
We are sorry we haven't written a lot, but we got really tired from taking care of Sis when she was sick and had to rest up. Sis even took pictures of us hard at resting before she left. it was on a disposable camera, but she's going to put them on a cd, so hopefully they don't turn out, cause it might be a little embarassing to be caught napping on the job.
lots of luv,
Shiro and Akira

Sis' Journal Reflections, Pt. 1
Recently, Sis has been keeping a daily writing journal about her interactions with nature for her "Wilderness and Literature" class in grad school. Oddly enough, a number of these entries include us! She said we could share some of them with you, to give you a peoples-eye perspective of us. She is working on getting them all typed up-- here is the first batch for your viewing pleasure (Click on the small picture to see it bigger!):

Do you have problems understanding us?
Hmmm... We think we are quite easy to understand. Our family doesn't seem to have any trouble, either! But apparently, some people want to know how to "decipher" our "bark." We were amazed when we read this article, and wanted to share it with everydog. Here is is: http://tinyurl.com/h348n
We shortened the url cause the original was tooooooooo long! Let us know your opinions!
All About Us
Since we got this spiffy new blog, we thought we'd better say a few word about ourselves and our family. First we will explain our living situation: We both currently live in Ohio with Mom, Dad, and Lukey. For a while, Akira lived in Maryland with Sis and Luke, while Shiro kept Mom and Dad company in Ohio. Now Sis had to move to Pennsylvania, and her apartment doesn't allow dogs (What's up with that?!) But it is only one hour and a half away, so she gets to be with us between 2 and four and a half days a week, depending on her schedule. It is not the situation we would like best, but it is better than not seeing her at all. We let her know how much we miss her by howling when she leaves after spending the weekend with us, and we are building this blog so she can visit us online, too.
Now, our introductions:
Akira: I was born April 25, 2002. I came to live with my new family on August 2, 2002. I rode in the back of the car with Sis and demolished my first edible peanut butter bone. I also gave her lot of kisses, as I was glad to be a part of the family already! I was still had to adjust a little bit to my new home, but it didn't take long! Here is a picture of me just a few days at my new home (look how small I was!). My name means "intelligent/bright" in Japanese, and my family says that it fits me. The only problem is some people think it sounds girly, and I'm a boy. But they don't know the anime character apparently. It wasn't too long before I graduated from PetsMart puppy obedience training. I got along well with the other dogs, and my family decided that maybe I needed a brother or sister to play with all of the time, enter Shiro. At first I didn't pay any attention to Shiro (I wouldn't even look at him in the car!). I was afraid my people would love him more, but now I know that was silly. We like to play-fight and sometimes we pick on each other, but when it comes down to it, we are there for each other. I like walking, running, chasing and scouting wild animals outside, sleeping, and having my belly rubbed.
Shiro:
I was born on September 12th, 2003. I am a cream-colored Shiba Inu, which means some people don't like me because I'm not "breed standard." My family thinks it is a nice color, though, and I like it too. Of course, sometimes you can't tell how light I am as I like to get dirty digging. My "full name" is Shiro no kachi, which means "White Wins" in Japanese (Sis knew this from Karate tournaments where the people fighting are red and white). Here is a baby picture of me. I don't remember that! I do remember coming home with Sis, Dad, and Akira, though! I wouldn't stay in my crate in the car, cause it was scary, but I was a good boy when Sis held me in her arms. I still don't like carrides, though- Akira loves them, but I get sick. I like cuddling, giving kisses, playing with all my toys one after another, trying to climb trees, and getting rid of toads.

Welcome to Our World!
Welcome to our very own blog! We have separate dogster pages with diary entries, but we decided we can share a blog for the whole doggy-world to see! Sis says we don't share our favorite nylabones very well, so how are we going to share a blog, but we think she's being cynical. We were inspired to make a blog by reading all of your cool blogs, especially Ivy's. We agrrree that squirrels are evil. Thank you for the informative site. We will try to post as often as we can, and in the meantime, please visit our dogster pages:We hope you come back and see us soon!
