baanton-Have I asked you already where in MN you are from? Is there a meetup in MN? Chad and I are planning on putting our house back up and trying to get back to MN. Brandon lives too far away.... : (
Kaddy, have you gone to any Meetups in Portland? I go down there every 3-4 weeks. There are some good breeders and good vets, lots of great parks and hiking spots. If you come north to Seattle, we have a Shiba Meetup in Bellevue at the end of every month-it is so much fun to watch 40+ shibas tearing around.
Lindsay - I haven't been to any meetups yet, but I am a part of the Portland Shiba meetup group. Most of them have conflicted with our Puppy play hour (which is all we can get into until the obedience classes start again in two weeks), plus we wanted to wait til Keiko was a little bit older to take her to the dog park for any serious playing (she just turned 13weeks on Tuesday). She's actually VERY submissive around all of the other puppies and small dogs in her class , and sometimes this leads to her getting picked on - I hope her confidence builds with age. We did go to a GREAT park with our Dachshund, Belle, (Hondo dog park) which has a small dog play area. It was nice because she didn't have to worry about getting run over by the Wolfhounds and Great Danes lol. We have quite a few friend sup in Seattle, so it would be interesting to make a weekend trip up there and join in on one of your meetups as well!

Michigan? Did I miss a post? How did we get from Minnesota to Michigan?
