Shibas Honored with Monuments


close-up of Shiba Inu

Our Sis is in Bulgaria (without us....grrr), but she was kind enough to pass along these pictures of a statue in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. This statue was a gift from the Japanese city of Okayama in brotherhood with the city of Plovdiv. The statue features a Japanese human, a crane, a monkey, and... A SHIBA INU! YES! Even in Bulgaria we are recognized for our regal statuesque bearing and authority. In other news, our Sis also saw a ceramic Shiba holding a lantern in it's mouth for sale in Nessebar, Bulgaria. Good to hear we have such International pull. One day, when Shibas take over the world, this will surely come in handy. Arooo!

Simon Cowell and Snoop Dogg

What celebrity would your pet be? I'm Simon Cowell! Find out at Dogster.com

Simon Cowell

Hard to Please

Enterprising, brassy and not afraid to bark what's on his mind, Akira is Idol-maker Simon Cowell!

There's no beating around the bush with Akira and flattery will get you nowhere. Akira calls it like he sees it, and stands firm on all fours behind his decisions. The cat definitely does not have Akira's tongue—some of his pals think he's bitter and confrontational, while others find him to be impawsibly hilarious. Akira's influence on those around him is remarkable, and he takes advantage of this fact and uses it wisely. Behind his no-nonsense mask, Akira is a perceptive sponge, taking in what he sees and hears around him, and then figuring out how to make it look, or sound, better.



What celebrity would your pet be? I'm Snoop Dogg! Find out at Dogster.com

Snoop Dogg

Smooth & Cool

Swingin' hard and keeping it real in his 'hood, your little homey is Snoop Doggy Dogg, yo.

Bustin' out superfly vocals that keep his lady friends perched, ready and on the edge of their seats, Shiro knows how to have a good time with his peeps and is not ashamed to show it. A big fan of the bling bling, Shiro is fashion fit and costume conscious, even willing to go a little over the top at times. Rich like butter and phat with flavor when he rolls, Shiro is well aware of the heads he turns along the way. Often seen hangin' with the big boys, Shiro is one tough cookie and knows how to paw his way out of a confrontation. But despite his occasionally feisty flare, Shiro is romantic and poetic, a true-blue Casanova through and through.

Follow Me


We have no idea where this came from, it showed up at the very bottom of an e-mail of amazing animal pictures, but check it out! A Shiba Inu raising some chicks! Well we always knew we were Chick Magnets!

We luv-ed the wubba too much...


After fighting over the wubba, squeaking the wubba what the sis called insectantly (we didn't think it sounded much like a bug), we managed to chew a whole through the wubbas protective layer to reveal his inner core. This all happened in less than eight minutes. Then for some reason the Sis took it off of us. Something about eating the string fraying from the gaping whole and a strange worry about choking on the squeaker. Bah. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

New Picture and Update


Our Sister has been very lax in making sure that our blog posts get to you, our bloggy friends. Please forgive her business and forgetfulness. She also keeps getting sick. I think she should see our Vet. He seems to fix what's wrong with us pretty quickly. Anyways, it has been pretty much of the same old. The family brought up an old loveseat from downstairs for us to use as a bed. We do pretty well in sharing it. Yesterday we went to the park. Sometimes we get to play tug of war with the rag toy. When Sis is home, she brushes our teeth and gives us extra treats, and puts us on her knee to look out the windows and keep watch. I met a pretty little border collie Suzie. Today, Dad is taking me to the park without Shiro today.

Bye Bye Snow

Do you think we've seen the last of the snow for the winter? I sure hope not. I love snow! I love to eat snow, I love to dig in snow, I love to lick snow. Akira loves to burrow through the snow and make tunnels with his head. I'm not so sure about that, but I do love the snow! It gets all over my nose and my belly whenever I go outside in it! Here are some pictures from just a couple weeks ago when there was lots of snow in Ohio!

PAWS UP!



as of last update the Stillers are ahead by 1...we give that a paws up, too!

LOL Dog Caption Contest

We were introduced to a webpage called www.lolcats.com Notice the second word of the domain name...cats....yes we were reluctant for this reason, but we were assured it would be worth it. So we went, and as much as we still want to chase and eat cats, we still must admit these photos with captions were pretty humorous and clever. So we started thinking we might have some photos suitable for such play. And so it is that we announce the First Annual LOL Akira and Shiro Caption Contest. Here are the rules: There are three pictures of each of us. A semi- finalist will be chosen from the best caption for each picture, and then the three semi-finalists for each of us will go head to head to have one Akira-pic Grandprize Winner and one Shiro-pic Grandprize winner. The judges will be us, the Sis, ad a panel made up of our friends Crys and Mark, who are PCC certified--that's puppy cuteness certification-- and the winners will receive a copy of the picture with their winning caption, perhaps pawtographed by ourselves. Well Shiro hates having his paws touched, so the ink thing might be difficult for him, but at least a nose print. Mom says he's good at making dirty nose prints on the windows! Please submit your idea for caption, either in our blog comments or to our pee-mailSo. Without further ado. The pictures.....Akira #1^^

Walking with Sis

That Sis sure is funny. If by funny you mean not quite right in the head. If by haha funny, then not so much, but she seems to think so. So we were on this walk (aka let's-see-how-fast-we-can-run-until-the-sis-topples-over-and-i-pull-her-through-the-air-down-the road-like-marmaduke), and she says "you're lucky you don't have to wear shoes. i wish i had pads on the bottom of my feet." she paused a little too dramatically, considering this deep thinking. "but then, i have opposable thumbs....you win some, you lose some." yeah, see, i told you...not quite right in the head. Here's a pic of me. I'm such a playa I wore myself out and fell asleep on the bball...

luv,
ki-ki (Akira)

What Halloween Means for a Shiba Inu

When this time a year comes around, the humans tend to act weird. We're pretty sure this is nothing new to everydog, but since we are Shiba Inu, we are posting some pictures (2 old ones of us and 2 we found on the Internet, with links to their originals) of what it means to be a Shiba Inu on Halloween....

Akira decked out for Halloweenie


This is what Shiro thinks of pumpkins: Let's try to eat them!

More (yes, even more cruelty to shiba kind):
And, apparently, a whole set of photos from a gathering specifically instituted for the Halloweenie Humiliation of Shiba kind: Shibaween
