So Ryu doesn't feel left out, here's some spam of my darling boy. He is so wonderful, I just love him to pieces!!!!

When our moving boxes came from Hawaii, I threw the comforters on the couch to fluff up. Apparently, Ryu thought this would be a perfect place to nap :)

This is one of my favorites:

My sleepy Shiba:

After Halloween, Petsmart had a 50% off sale on stuffed toys. Thank goodness because this one lasted all of three minutes:

One of the reasons that Ryu is the perfect Shiba - he is a major play monster but loves to kiss too!!

Breaking in Chloe's new bed - with that big ole' belly, he sure did a good job!

And for fun, this picture was taken last year on 11/24/07. What a difference one year makes!:

And finally, the video!

Skater boy (it's not your computer - there's no sound :D)



(I have two more videos that are uploading....so more to come!)

    Thanks Corina!! He wouldn't do it again but I'm glad I got the first run on video!

    Ok, guys, this one is REALLY SUPER embarrassing and it's kind of our deep dark secret. Ryu begs. I mean BEGS. And we really tried to be consistent about teaching him not to beg. It's a work in progress. However, this night, I just couldn't resist getting his production on video. He does this practically every night. Though we don't usually let it get this bad.

    Ok, here goes....

    He just wantedd to share!! Poor Ryu! I love the skater vid too, very cute! BTW you've mentioned home is in SC - where? I always come to York/Rock Hill for Thanksgiving (in fact, I'm still here right now).

    We're from Summerville (right next to Charleston) and we miss it so much! We love S.C.
  • edited November -1
    Rock Hill isn't far from Charlotte, NC - my favorite aunt lives up here and we all troop up here from GA because thanksgiving is at Gail's house. I usually stay through Saturday and then drive back home.

    Hah! I knew your dog had to have some fatal flaw! There's no way a Shiba can be that adorable, well-behaved, and angelically sleep so much! j/k

    Question: do you or Tim run with him for his walks? Is that why I see him sleeping so much? Because if he has to run with a military man, I can see why he'd be sleeping most of the time.

    Thanks for the spam Pam! He's definitely a reason to be thankful this season!

    Great pictures and videos! I really like the one where Ryu is looking over Tim's shoulder.

    Awwww Ryu is such the sweetheart! :oD

    The skater video is awesome lol, I wish I could get my peanut to do that.

    Keiko is HORRIBLE about begging for food. We've just decided it's easier to crate our dogs during our dinner time - plus we usually eat at the same time I feed them, so it works out really well.

    HAHAHA Jesse, Ryu is the laziest dog ever. We've tried everything to get him to go running with us. He'll go blazing fast for about 8 seconds and then stop dead in his tracks. Then he'll lay down and take about a 5 minute break before he'll walk again. LOL We always say he's a true Alvarado since we all love to sleep :) He's just naturally sleepy

    As for being thankful, we actually picked up Ryu on Black Friday last year so this time of year has an even more special meaning for us!

    Evan, are they crated in a separate room? Ryu's crate is in the living room and he can hear/smell us eating in the dining room. He'll usually cry until someone breaks down and lets him out. He never cries in his crate unless he knows we're eating. *sigh* Lately, we've been letting him out to play in the backyard and then try to eat before he wants to come back in lol

    Awww, Ryu is an ADORABLE Shiba.

    Miso and Sake send lots of hugs!
  • edited November -1
    Awww! Ryu is so cute. :)

    Bella is a beggar, too. However, she is a silent beggar. She just sits beside you and stares at you. I suppose she is trying to hypnotize us into dropping our food on the floor. Luckily, Nola has yet to learn this trick.

    love the ryu spam! he reminds me a lot of my Kitsune, just a fun guy - loving, cuddly, lovable, playful, sings for your food. Yes, our shibas beg too. Its awful, but I can't help it! Tsuki is the silent begger but Kitsune howl/sing/aroos for food and gets really in-your-face on the couch. Its hilarious but I guess its bad manners if we have people over. Oh well, his house my rules I let him.
    So your secret is out - and shared!

    I love the Ryu spam - he looks like the best dog!!

    And Chloe's bed is BEAUTIFUL!

    Now that I'm back home, I have jazz in my lap while on the computer. When the vid came up Jazz gave it a cursory look untl Ryu begin attacking the animal - then she went into alert mode, as if Ryu had her stuffed animal.
  • RyuRyu

    LOL!! Love that Jazz :)

    Thanks Jen! I don't feel SO bad now but still embarrassed. The most embarrassing part is that I'm the major enabler. I'm just a sucker for those big brown eyes.

    I LOVE Chloe's bed. Very nice. I presume you made it.

    Wow, Ryu is quite the begger!!!
  • RyuRyu
    edited November -1
    Thanks Barbara (and Jen!) - yes, I made it especially for Miss Chloe Girl but she waited until Ryu broke it in before she would lie on it. Now she'll only lie on it if I put it in the corner where Ryu's bed was.... Ahhh, finicky Shibas.

    Ryu "what the hell is this white crap? Looks like coconut but it's cold and not as tasty...I miss the tropics."

    "Ahhh mom it's attacking my nose, get it off!"

    "Only a real man would sleep on a flower bed."

    You need to thicken up that thin tropical blood.

    Ryu is such a good looking boy.

    I can't wait for Joey to experience his first snow. Lucy had a blast chasing snow flakes. Did Ryu do that too?

    No fair! Everyone else has snow....We got a bit of a snow shower this weekend. But it didn't stick.

    All the snow that Miso and Sake enjoyed yesterday is gone today. Now it's icy and cold...

    Ahh you have to love snow...nature's crack cocaine for dogs!
