What is the meaning of this?

Well, obviously Shiba Inu is not one of the choices. We are not that puffy to begin with.

You Are a Chow Puppy

Don't fence me in! You're an independent spirit that won't be tied down.

What Breed of Puppy Are You?

Attn Joe Stains and Tanner: Were You Aware of This?

So, our Sis took a quiz to find out what kind of dog breed she is. We thought she was a human dog breed, but what do we know. And here were her results. We are a little shocked.

You Are a Boston Terrier Puppy

Aggressive, wild, and rambunctious. Deep down, you're just a cuddle monster.

What Breed of Puppy Are You?

Holiday Spirit Dog Of the Day: Number 9

This is actually for Thursday (Butchy and Snickers were for Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively). *Drum Roll Please*

The Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day, Number 8, Award goes to....................

M.J.!!!!!!!!!!!!

M.J. is really getting into the Holiday Spirit this year! She has spent time romping in the snow, helping her Dad set up a winter village (complete with dog treat in case the villagers get hungry), and dressing up as Mrs. Santa Paws to visit Santa Paws, himself!
M.J. is a nearly six-year-old Pitbull cross, who lives with her mom and dad and human brother and crabby feline sister (aged 19). Make sure to check out M.J.'s House of Slobber, her wonderful bloggy that always has grrreat pictures!

Without further ado, however, we would like to announce the next recipients of "Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day"! Presenting....Butchy and Snickers! These two Wire Fox Terriers are looking especially festive in their Holiday outfits specially made by their Mama! Their Mom even has her own business making doggy clothes, and she is very talented.

Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day #6

This post catches us up for there to actually be a dog each day! The Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day for today (18 December 2006) is.....drumroll please...... MISS SUNSHADE!!!

Miss Sunshade just oozes with Holiday Spirit, even tolerating her human dressing her up. But she does look cute, so it isn't all humiliating! Miss Sunshade is a 7-yr-old Airedale Terrier living in Vancouver, B.C., Canada!

Miss Sunshade is a very intelligent dog, who always does what is best for her, like eating her veggies, riding safely in her SunshadeMobile, and never going with strangers! For more of her exploits, check out Life of Miss Sunshade!

We leave you with more pics:

Wet licks,

Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day #3*

BOO is our Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day #3!!! Congratulations Boo, well deserved! Boo is a Shih Tzu who lives in Malaysia. He is one of the cutests doggies we know, even when he makes his doofus face. See our blog archives for a slideshow of some of his Glamour shots! Boo is celebrating Christmas with his very own tree (although he would prefer it have real snow on it), and by sending cards to all his friends! Boo is a real charmer with the lady dogs, although even he admits he has a bit of competition in Simba boy...
Boo's birthday is February 23rd. He will be 1-year-old this coming Spring (2007). Boo was named after Jake Gylenhaal's puggle, Boo, who, while admitedly cute, is nowhere near as cute as Shih Tzu Boo! After all, it isn't puggle Boo who is Mr. February on the Dogs With Blogs Calendar #2, now is it???
Congrats again, Boo!

Everyone visit Boo's Diary!

Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day #2

Congratulations to our Holiday Spirit Dog of the Day #2: Joe Stains!! Joey is a Boston Terrier who lives with his "doofus" little brother, Tanner. Joe deserves special mention because he has so much holiday spirit he was even willing to give away young Tanner as a gift! Here he is preparing the box to ship Tanner in:



Joey is such a giver, but he managed to think of three things he might like to receive this Christmas. The top three things on his Wish List are:

1. Doofus out of my house
2. An electric blanket
3. the most gigantic block of cheese you have ever seen in your life

Congrats again, Joe Stains! Visit his blog:

Christmas Tag!

I’ve been Christmas tagged by Joe Stains' Blog

The Rules: The player of this game starts with "3 things he/ she would love to get for Christmas" and also has to list "3 things he/ she definitely does not want to get for Christmas". Then he/she tags 5 friends and list their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And the one who tags need to leave a comment that says "you've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

Akira:
For Christmas I would love to get:
1. Snow all day long
2. Sis home with me every day
3. a nice soft bed that I could lay on without Shiro chewing holes in it and taking out the stuffing so they have to throw it away :(

I really, really don’t want for Christmas:
1. Bugs, insects, or spiders.
2. Another set of reindeer antlers
3. thunderstorms instead of snow storms

Shiro:
For Christmas I would love to get:
1. Lots of treats, cheese, pork rinds, crackers, chips, fruit, etc.
2. Toys
3. To cuddle with Sis every night
4. possibly a sister (b&t shiba inu! but not going to happen...yet)


I really, really don’t want for Christmas:
1. toads
2. frogs
3. bandannas

We are tagging: Yoshi and Tsuki, Boo, Ivy, and Fu-Fu!

Shiba-riffic!

(That's even better than Terrific, we think...)
Kikujira pointed us in the direction of a wonderful illustrator, Tatsuro Kiuchi, who, among other subjects, illustrates SHIBA INU! He has graciously granted us permission to feature one of his illustrations here with a link to his website: This is the Shibaken section

Thanks, Kiku! Thanks Tatsuro!!
