Thanks for this! We are staying with good friends of ours for the meanwhile. Thankfully the refinery where I'm working is already working on getting started up again. Hoping to be business as usual soon. Though I have no idea when we'll be allowed h…

This makes perfect sense. We made sure the cat was up out of reach from the puppy before letting Rollo loose. Lots of escape routes will help the cat not feel threatened. Just be ready to step in and separate them if the dog starts to get out of han…

Rollo was introduced to a cat more than once, it was the same cat who lives at my cousin's house. He is a very patient cat. Rollo didn't try to attack or eat him, but he wanted to play. He pestered that cat for at least an hour, got swatted at and…

I'm loving all the new puppy pictures. They are just so cute!
-
Cuteness overload. Freaking adorable!

I've found that I have to be careful with how much chew time Rollo gets with bully sticks. He loves them though! If he chews on it too long they seem to upset his stomach and he will throw up a couple of times over the next day. If he gets it for a …

The last one I bought was a 'mega' sized one and I think it was $30. It's pretty steep, though it lasted a good 5 months. Whimsies are a much better deal I think in that regard. He also just finished off a water buffalo horn. He would throw that fo…

Rollo is a big fan of Himalayan chews. When it's fresh he barks at it until he's slobbered the whole thing (I'll try and record this next time it happens). He also enjoys 'whimsies' which are little hedgehog shaped chews, Apparently they are made of…

Rollo is super curious about the vacuum cleaner and follows us around whenever it's on. He is also fascinated by electric toothbrushes until you get too close. Then he freaks out and runs away. He HATES horses. We were at Lake Louise and there wer…

We went to Banff and dropped Rollo off for the day on the Saturday. We took our snowshoes, food, water and campstove to Sunshine village ski resort. Went to the top of the resort, and walked through the out of bounds area to snowshoe 'on top of the …

Legs are too short! We had big snowshoes and even with the tails that we bought to increase the surface area of our shoes we went up past our knees in powder with each step. We would have had to carry the poor guy! That and this was at the top of …

We took Rollo on an adventure last weekend to Banff and Lake Louise. What a great trip! Rollo was at the edge of the lake, and saw a squirrel. He posed pretty nicely for this one. (Image) At the info booth with my wife Amy. He saw horses in this…

We have done the 'touch' and 'leave it' commands with Rollo, and those have helped greatly with walking. He has become a very good on-leash dog. Though I think our figure 8 slip lead that works like a halti has helped. He now only pulls when he ei…

It has begun... (Image)

Wow, Rollo is 47 pounds! He's not portly either, according to the vet he is the perfect weight for his frame. He's a big Shikoku!
-
He's filling in a bit now, but not too much. Last weigh in had him at 44 pounds at the vet. Vaccination boosters are due on Wednesday so we'll post his weight here. He looks very sturdy and he's really strong for his size. Ahhh! He's blowing his c…

We actually had a battle with our veterinary secretary over what breed Rollo was. She made up an ID card that said Rollo was a Shiba inu. We had to convince her that a Shikoku is a real breed, and the veterinarian straightened her out haha. The card…

Santa was great with him. Had to get down on the ground and reel this squirmy dog in. He used up all of the 'nopes' he had been saving up over the last couple of months!
-
Rollo says 'Merry Christmas!' He also says 'I hate santa, and I don't want to be here'. (Image)

Well, one year ago today we brought Rollo home with us. It's so awesome to have him around every day. He has such a great personality. It's been a great first year with him. I can't wait for more adventures!

Yeah I've only ever came across one stick of wax, and have been mad at myself for not getting it. The stuff does get a bit messy, don't let the dog walk around the house before going out after applying, you'll have hard to clean footprints EVERYWHER…
-
Go for the stick and not the tub of wax. Makes it really easy to apply in stick form!
-
Mushers wax is decent. Our pup doesn't seem to get paw-snowballs even after walking on snowy trails for long distances. Though I find with Rollo he has paw issues when walking on salted sidewalks. That stuff bugs him since it's too cold here for re…
-
No kidding! If he blew his coat now he'd be in for a rough winter I think. It's finally cold here, first day of -20 weather today. We'd have to buy him a jacket if he lost his thick winter fur.
-
It must have something to do with taking pictures with my potato (iPhone) and funny angles. If anything his coat is actually thicker now than it ever has been. When you run your hand through his coat along his aides your fingers almost my dissapear.…

Rollo's happy place! (Image)

Saki looks great! Pretty neat how Rollo got his moms colours, almost identical too.

Here's one for you. A squeaky clean Shikoku! He was a trooper, and the groomer made him look and smell fantastic. I really enjoy that these dogs don't have an oily skin like a golden retriever. After a few weeks without a bath, our dogs growing up w…
