Yogi, Miki and Gufi Spam: Memory Walk and a Marriage
Thought I'd start a little thread where I can spam without having anything legitimate to update about. I've been stockpiling randoms of the dogs while I borrowed a friend's nice camera for a little project I was doing, and now that it's gone back home, I'm firmly set on getting one myself... eventually. Until then, I've got to settle on begging and borrowing.
Here are some to get started...
I gave all the pups messy bones. Here is Yogi's.
I was teasing him with it for a while
In case you ever needed to know what the inside of your dog's mouth looks like...
Gufi enjoying his while he frog-sits.
"What do you think you're doing, Mom? I was sort of busy with that."
We are sort of gate-crazy around this house. We're up to 3 now. These behind Miki are blocking off the doorways in the kitchen.
I had the family over for Mother's day for a grillout. The weather basically cooperated and we were spared from the rain. Thankfully, the dogs were all VERY well behaved as well, and aside from a little begging and one cookie stealing fiasco, I was very happy with them. Here is Gufi begging for chips from one of my cousins.
Here they are swarming another cousin. She was a trooper from the very beginning, and by the end of the day she had them following her around the whole yard and even had them doing tricks. I hired her as my dog walker.
I don't know if this makes me crazy or not, but Yogi lets me do this to him all the time. I only had the point-and-shoot at hand, and a pretty bad and uncooperative photographer, but I did manage to get the point across. He'd let me do it for hours, if I had the strength.
I also wanted to capture Yogi's funny old man face that he makes when he is scratching and, lucky me, got Gufi doing a very nice "come hither" look at the same time. Funny, these dogs...
That's a pretty decent start, I think!

And the pic with the swarm on your little cousin! so cute!!
Yogi - well, to keep a shiba still long enough to safely do stretching is an accomplishment!
I don't remember why I started doing it... He is usually really interested when I do yoga or dance around, so I think maybe I tried to include him? He let's me do anything to him, dear little dummie
I always knew Miki was pretty, but lately I look at her and think she grew into a really nice looking little shiba.
They got a new "stuffed animal" that is supposed to be indestructible. Here is Yogi showing it off.
Gufi trying to sneak it away.
I was playing with action shots. Tried lots of stuff, it was fun to experiment. Gave the dogs something to do at least.

Yogi's got ups!
It's been a fun day
What kind of camera are you using? Your getting some really nice shots with it.

I'm borrowing my friend's Nikon D40. I love it. I'm using it more and more frequently, and I'm looking into getting my own stuff eventually.
Miki has beautiful markings for that colour, very pretty all of the them.
And Miki is beautiful! I just noticed how 'adult' my female shiba has been looking (just turned two) and she's never looked more beautiful to me.
The dogs were such little models, and since it was nice and hot their panting faces made adorable shiba smiles
Yogi LOVED the koi ponds. He tried to attack every fish he could see.
More shiba smiles from Miki and Gufi
Yogi checks out a statue
Our friend Herbie was there too!
Also, since I am always the one behind the camera and don't think I've ever posted a picture of me, I figured I would include a photo that I just found of me and a friend at a local jazz festival that made the paper. Thought it was pretty cool! The dogs were -angels- and there were thousands of people and dozens of dogs to navigate.
I have been hosting my family for pool and barbeque weekends. The dogs really enjoy the extra attention.
And to finish up, for a few days Miki decided that the shower was the best place to nap, silly girl.
Thanks for wading through my spam! It's a nice rainy-day activity and I think I went overboard...
What a happy trio you have there!
Great Pictures btw!
Indestructible Octopus my ass. I knew he wouldn't last.
Even with a "tuff rating" of 7, you weren't strong enough for my brood. RIP Owen the Octopus, barely a month old and already totally gutted.
