My Birthday, by Shiro


Another year has gone by. I am a whole five years old! Can you believe it? The Sis bought me some pressies. I love to play with Daddy's basketball, but it is a little bit for me, so Sis brought me a my-size-basketball. Also, it's green, which is my second favorite color. The next time Sis came, I brought her that toy first thing to play with, and we took it outside and got it all muddy! Akira was being a stick in the mud and wouldn't play outside. But the Sis and me did. First we played with the green basketball, and then with my favorite rock. Then I worked on my holes. I got so dirty Sis washed my paws in the sink. I did NOT like that. I hate to have my paws touched let alone washed. Oh i also got some yummies for my birthday. I had to share with Akira though, and I don't think that's fair. He really liked them too, so he thinks he SHOULD get to share! Anyways, the treats are alaska salmon and potatoes. yum!
Sis took lots of pictures, but they are still on the Moms camera, so they're not up yet :(

  7. a physical after arriving day
  8. to be paid
  9. a simple mailserver
  10. to be made into a live action movie

Going to the Park

I always knew I liked going to the park. Since Dad retired, I get to go everyday, and since Mom ws off work for the summer we've all been going a lot. Reasons I like going to the park:
1. you get to ride in the car
2. you get to smell new things
3. you get to expand your territory
4. there are more squirrels and chipmunks at the park
5. lots of trees
6. you get to ride in the car again

~Akira


As it turns out, I like going to the park too! I still HATE riding in the car, but once I get there it is grreat! I get to run all around and meet kids and other dogs, I get to pee over top of everythin Akira pees on, and my Daddy lifts me up to drink out of the human water fountain! It's grreat! The car ride back home is never as bad, and when we get home I get to take a nice little nap.

How I Love my Kong

Here's our contest entry for Hot Diggity Dog!My firstest kong

Best of Portraits-- Shiro



Best of Portraits- Akira



Hunting Frog

Here I am Stalking the Frog.

This is after I cornered the frog.


This is after they made me come inside and clean me up.

A Week of Sis and Rado

Shiro and Akira take up their breakfast positions. Rado is eating.

When Sis got back from Bulgaria she spent almost a week with us, and her fiance Rado spent 3 days with us. We like him a lot. Sis says Akira likes him more than her. We don't kiss and tell. Anyways, of course we have pictures of our time together. We'll be putting them in a couple posts.

Shiro waits patiently

This is Akira's Chair

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!
