I've still got some figuring out to do, but some of the shots weren't half bad. My keeper rate was down around 32% (It was almost 65% at last months meetup with my old lens). Some Shibas just like to stay at home base: JoJo and JoJi. JoJi (we think) is related to Lucy. Poor JoJi had an "accidental" litter during her first heat and was in criminally poor shape when she was adopted from her "breeder". She's come a long way, but still has an even longer way to go: Marley, as usual, proud that he's found his safe spot: Jazz being social!!!!!!! Sadie hanging with grandma: Nikko (MommyofNikko's dog) doing what she does best: Lucy sniffing the floor looking for treat remnants: Joey trying to get Sadie to play: A long sequence of Joey playing with his buddy Quin starts here: Joey getting attacked by Pubbubuubububububbu(sp?): Jazz showing off for the camera: I <3 Marley: This is Kira, Joey's new girlfriend. She's an adorable 4.5 month old from a BYB. But we still love her. :-) There is a LONG sequence of Joey and Kira being "passionate" with each other starting here: I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taking them! ## CrimsonO2 · 2009-01-20T22:07:06.000Z Awesome pics. It looks like good times were had by all. I'm glad to know that my Shiba isn't the only Shiba that likes to stay close to "home base". Hey LJ, it looks like Jazz has come a long way to being a sociable Shiba. Congratulations on her improvements. Hey Dave, Is Joey starting to blow his coat? That last pic is adorable! Borderline indecent and cradle-robbing :p. Jesse ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-20T22:22:33.000Z Jazz does much better when dosed with melatonin and indoors. She will wander around and smell other shibas - she trotted once or twice on Sunday. Because of her history of being left outside, I think she truly fears it - maybe afraid that she'll get left out there again. As for her jump - I had the good treats out and she'll go crazy for those. ## KFontaine04 · 2009-01-20T22:33:57.000Z Love the pictures. ## cmmookie · 2009-01-20T22:44:58.000Z Nice pictures! Looks like a very fun meetup. I am kind of mad at the guy wearing shorts in the 5th picture though. We are freezing up north! ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-20T22:49:21.000Z It was in the low 50s, I think - but it was very hot inside the daycare. ## _dlroberts · 2009-01-20T22:53:29.000Z Jesse. Joey has been blowing his coat for what seems like 2 months now, but I'm sure it less than that. His coat looks like crap right now. ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-01-20T23:26:14.000Z Oodles & Ooodles of Shibas!!! I love how Dave calculates the keeper to the exact percentage ;) ~ ## lymura · 2009-01-20T23:35:16.000Z Wow! Looks like a great time! Great photos too. I wish there was a meetup closer to me. :( ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-01-21T00:33:07.000Z Great pics - looks like a lot of fun... tho it looks like there are a lot of Shiba there but only a few play, is that true? Kira is really cute, Joey has good taste in the ladies. lol ---- ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T00:35:46.000Z it varies - they were all pretty lowkey. We had one new one who was trying to figure things out, but Sadie, Niko, Sasuke, & Tibbets really weren't into playing that much. They just kind of chilled out. Pububuu is a major player and usually she, Joey, Niko, and Sadie play a lot. ## Romi (admin) · 2009-01-21T01:49:04.000Z Great pics! Looks like everyone had a great time! LJ!!! It's grea to see Jazz sniffing!!! CONGRATS!!! ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T01:55:09.000Z Isn't it funny to see how excited we can get over something as simple as sniffing? ## Romi (admin) · 2009-01-21T02:09:38.000Z lol...when you have dogs like Ninja and Jazz, a simple look at another dog without growling is a huge leap forward!!! Sniffing is like winning the lottery! ## _dlroberts · 2009-01-21T02:11:34.000Z Totally! I was giddy when I saw Jazz being social. She even had other dogs bumping into her and being rambunctious around her and she was completely fine. As if I wasn't proud enough about Jazz, I even got kisses from Rachael's Sasha. First on the hand, and then when I took my hand away on my face!!!!!! ## KFontaine04 · 2009-01-21T10:44:39.000Z Awwww, It's good to get some Niko and Sasha spam too :) Im glad they got to join the fun. Im jealous of Sasha kisses...I love rotties/mixes. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-01-21T11:26:59.000Z fun pics! its good to see all the pups having a pretty good time. That Joji looks a heck of a lot like Lucy. YAY JAZZ!! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-01-21T11:39:11.000Z Nice shots Dave. Joey plays so well with so many dogs. It's very impressive. ## LisaW · 2009-01-21T12:34:47.000Z what a nice bunch of shibas :) sniffing ist the best!! :) may i ask what's this doggy day camp? a place where you can left your dog if your busy? ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T12:38:12.000Z It is a daycare similar to one for kids. Many people drop their dogs off in the monring and pick them up after work. Or, they'll drop them there for a couple of hours for some socialization time. In addition, a lot of the daycare do boarding for when you go out of town. We have several in Atlanta and a few are willing to loan us a play room for our meetups when we do them indoors. We have also had some dog boutiques also open up a room for us to meet in - it's a great alternative for when things just get a little cold to spend a couple of hours outside in the park. ## MommyofNiko · 2009-01-21T15:34:45.000Z HEY! I thought I would stop in and look at the pics. I am so glad that the girls were able to go. Thank you so much LJ. I have had a difficult time recovering and they needed to get out so bad. I am so happy that Sasha did so well. I am not surprised. I no longer get surprised by her, she can go either way. Now I can just imagine Dave as giddy as a school girl with Sasha love. Obviously Niko did a good job manipulating you all to give her attention (Dave!). Kitty was fairly disappointed that they came back...she was giving us a look like Elijah was next to go. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T15:40:38.000Z No problem on taking the girls - they were absolutely great! I am still thrilled that Sasha hopped in the van for me. We really did miss you guys - Jazz gobbled her chicken feet so fast, I didn't have a chance to video - maybe I can do it today. ## _dlroberts · 2009-01-21T16:03:51.000Z HI RACHAEL! I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult recovery. We did miss you terribly at the meetup. You would have been so proud of Sasha! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-01-21T16:40:12.000Z Jazz had a chicken foot, huh? How did that go? ## KFontaine04 · 2009-01-21T16:43:33.000Z eeewwww, discussing those creepy chicken feet again...eeeekkkkk ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-01-21T16:45:13.000Z don't knock it til your shibas have tried it, Kristin! :)) ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T16:46:48.000Z gobbled it down very quick - loved every moment of it! ## KFontaine04 · 2009-01-21T16:47:00.000Z Im too creeped out to even look at the pictures let alone touch one and give it to my dogs to devour. Im sure they would love it, but it might make me puke! ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2009-01-21T16:51:29.000Z On the first one, Jazz took a few tentative licks and then took it and ran. By the time, I caught up to her, it was gone. 2nd time, it was just gone, no tentativeness at all. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-01-21T17:03:26.000Z lol! that happened the very first time we tried raw chicken, Tsuki booked it into the living room and I was like in slow-mo trying to get that chicken off my rug!! ew! I'm glad she enjoyed it! It really helps her teeth, works her mind and is beneficial to her joints!! --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
