  • Other than not wanting to waste food, is there any benefit to fasting a dog for a day? Remy inhales his meals everday...he goes ballistic at meal time since I switched over to Orijen Fish (man that stuff stinks!!). When he was on once a day feedin…
  • Remy is an apartment dog with no yard and I've never really experienced the 'blow out'. I can pretty much set my watch to his bowl movements...once in the morning and again late afternoon and he never goes less than 6-8 hrs after eating. Occassion…
  • So I took a closer look today and his undercoat is definately the same or damn close to the same length as his guard hairs. Also, I'm pretty sure Remy is blowing or sorta blowing coat. It's not coming out in chunks, but I did get a FULL shopping…
  • WOW, she looks like she really jacked in that first pic!! side quote that pic made me think of: "I'm gonna pump (clap)...you up!"
  • Who needs a tooth brush with Miso around!! Great pic
  • PS - looking at that pic again reminded me he has a really long tongue, I mean he's holding some back there, it's really quite rediculous! Must drive the lady shibas nuts....
  • Interesting. I don't know about carved out of foam, but he has a tonne of muscle definition in his legs that make him look quite chiseled (sp?), especially at the rear. I don't know if he is just all jacked up lately or if its 'moss'. This pic was…
  • Too bad we can't get some REALLY good pics that show off that 'muted red'. I find pics don't really ever do coat colours justice. Osy, Remy is actually VERY white with some minor exceptions as I've mentioned before. He blends in with the snow al…
  • Sake is way redder than Remy...he just has some red highlights
  • I'm pretty much on the same page as everyone else here. Breed standards are good because it keeps good breeders aiming for the right things. If I were buying a pup, I would be looking for a breeder following the standard. That being said, I hav…
  • We had a really mild spell over christmas too...it went from about -10C for the last month to about +5 for a week or so. Now its back below freezing. He is shedding a little more than normal right now, but I'm still not sure what 'normal' really i…
  • Yes, Remy is just over a year. I've actually really noticed the colour change at the rear.
  • Remy's nose is pretty pink, I think it's pretty cute. While we're talking creamies, Kristin, weren't you talking about Sake getting redder a while back? I have definately noticed Remy getting way more red in some areas (back legs, tail, ears) and …
  • Remy must be broken or something. Aparently he hasn't ever blown his coat, but sheds constantly and a lot, and I mean A LOT!! I have to brush/groom him every other day just to keep it under control. He's done that ever since we've had him, so almo…
  • Remy does the head tilt all the time...its very cute. I seem to remember reading something about the dog being able to better locate the noise when their ears are at different heights/angles
  • What a little doll. Congrats to the four of you!! Can't wait for more spammage
  • I've actually come to really enjoy our morning walks. The city is so quiet at that rediculous hour, which is pretty rare, considering I live on a very busy main street. It's quite peacefull. That being said, Kristen had a case of the 'jimmy legs'…
  • There's nothing better than seeing a dog having a blast in the snow!! Great spam
  • Couldn't agree more!! I live in an apartment so I can't just let the dog out in the backyard while I'm getting ready for work. So I wake my ass up at 530 am every day to take the litte bugger for a good long walk before I go off to work. He doesn…
  • I remember reading that a while back when I was researching the breed. My fav line is "Do you enjoy wrestling alligators? Good - you'll love having a Shiba! Nail clipping is probably one of the most fascinating parts of owning a Shiba, and by …
  • We have our tree up as usual. Kristen loves having the place decorated for christmas, so she refused to make exceptions just because we have a dog this year. For the first two weeks, anytime he so much as looked at the tree, he got a correction. N…
  • LOL...LJ, make Jazz all white and that is EXACTLY the look I get from Remy when he gets a bath!!
  • Definately not too bad then. As for baths, Remy does the 'superman' pose (stretches out super flat) when we put him in the tub, but really he's pretty tolerant. Oh yeah, not to rub it in, but since you bring up the brushing, Remy LOVES it. Last…
  • The shiba scream...that is one thing I haven't heard (yet??). Remy is surprisingly tolerant of being handled/manipulated. He will wiggle and protest for some things (wiping crusties out of his eye, cutting his nails) but doesn't really put up a fi…
  • Kristin - yup, it's a little 2-seater. It's an absolute blast to fly in the open air. It's tough to explain what it is, so here are a couple pics to give you an idea: This is my 'plane' (Image) This is me coming in for a landing And this is t…
  • The weather here has been crazy as well. All last week it was above freezing and raining. yesterday it started out at 9C in the morning and was -3C for our nightly constitutional. This morning was -14C with windchill and we're expecting about 20c…
