Shiba Inu/Cairn Terror (terrier) Playdate!

Today we had an extended playdate with a male (Murphy) and female (Eva) cairn terrier at the tennis courts. Everyone did great! We brought them back to our house when it started raining, and everyone did great then too!
Murphy (male, ligher color) is available for adoption through Col. Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue.

    i love all living things but there is nothing like a cairn terrier full of energy. i am glad to send them home after a playdate!! so.. terror. but a loving, fond sort of terrier terror.

    Carin's can bring the ruckus. Carin TERRORier is pretty appropriate for them sometimes. I do love them though, or maybe I just love Whiz. That guy is my little snuggle buddy when he is over.

    Looks like everyone had a great time at your place.

    See? Brandon gets it!!
    How do you get such good action shots? They wouldn't stop moving AT ALL!!! And these were taken AFTER a 2 hour romp in the tennis court!
    they CAN bring the ruckus! not that a shiba can't - little terriers just bring it in a whole new way. Eva and Tsuki have been play buddies since we adopted Tsuki and Murphy has been with Eva in foster for about 3 weeks so it was a nice day to see how he would be too. He was such a lovebug once he was tired!

    it was a really a big test for Kitsune, because this time they came over, it was with me and not with their owner.. if anyone could piss him off it would be an intrusive, energized terrier. But he loved it! both the male and female! loved every minute!
    At the behaviorist suggestion we had this kind of playdate because its unfair for me or the shiba rescue or anyone to assume Kitsune has a temperment problem with intrusive male (or female) dogs because I could not have asked for a better playdate. I can't wait to report this to the behaviorist and take on the next hurdle!!

    I have a pretty nice camera, and a high end flash, so that helps with getting good indoor action shots. Lots of practice too. When I post a link to 20 pictures for people to look at, I probably took 100 pictures that day. Also I just could not get the pictures I get with a Point and Shoot camera because of the way that they physically function.

    it looks like i need a better camera! i've been using the same Canon F-1 and recently got a Nikon CoolPix for digital images but I just can't get a lot of clear pictures!

    I think we need to upgrade our manual to digital SLR.. these shibas are too photogenic.
