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....

Hello Wabbit!

The Evil Two Horned Goat

Well, we risked life and limb to get these photos for you, but here they are. The goat first got up on his goat house to see us better as we approached. Then he tried to charge us, but luckily his rope held. I growled and warned him to BACK UP! Doesn't he look scary? Other than the close encounter with the goat, it was a great walk Sis took me all over the place and one time she said "Akira, I don't even know where we are? What road issss this?" but I knew where we were. She was worried about the rain letting loose, but I don't mind getting wet. She also ran with me a bit cause sometimes I just need to run. Luv,
Akira

Our Weekend in Three Parts

Well, as you know The Sis was home this weekend, which was pawsome, as always, until she had to leave which we weren't too happy about. bah. So we're writing this in three parts, this part we will write together, then shiro has a part on the Shirohole and akira has a part on the evil horned goat.

Part I

We had lots of fun with Sis. She brought us a soccer ball home and spoiled us with more treats than we usually get and took us to her bedroom to play and carried us to look out the windows we can't reach and played with us and slept down on the couches with us some and cuddled and kissed us and took lots of pictures. well, the rest was good anyways. She can't get the pictures from the digi camera to us until she finds her usb cord (doh!) but we'll be posting the ones she took on her cell phone.


Here she caught us in action baring our teeth. Aren't we fierce? Look at our fangs!



Then we kissed and made up. We were really just playing...mostly.

Is This a Shiro-Hole?

Whenever I am on walks with the Sis, I am a great explorer and like to poke my head in any and every whole to see what's going on. Holes in trees, holes in drains, holes in the road, holes in a fence, holes in the dirt, any hole. And the Sis always says, "That's not a Shiro hole!" or "You're going to get your nose bit by a groundhog" or some such nonsense. Well, I have yet to see this in person, but the Sis assures me this is in fact a Shiro-hole. I will try it out tomorrow. It looks kinda tiny, but I think I can do it.

The Hunt For the Perfect Birthday Gift

If, on the other hand, we do decide to get The Sis a birthday present. We think this is an excellent choice.
