We had 4 Shibas total but we're hoping for more next month! Here are the pics: The infamous Ryu (he made a new friend) Pili (the black and tan) and Aya (Ayako) : both almost 5 months old! Introducing Tonka! (he's 5 yrs old) Pili, Ryu and Aya make a friend! Three little rascals: Feisty Aya playing "keep away" (and it's not even her ball!) Aya and Pili trying to get Tonka to play: Notice Aya's neck in Pili's mouth: Ryu, Pili and Tonka: The pretty girl, Aya: Ryu admiring Aya: The love triangle: Ryu trying to win Aya back from Pili: Tonka could play ball ALL day: Boys will be boys: Videos to come soon! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-06-21T20:40:40.000Z Looks like a great time! Some beautiful shibas there! And in pic 4 - ryu's lazy sit is hilarious!!!!!!! ## Ryu · 2008-06-21T20:44:42.000Z Alrighty, here's the two peas in a pod playing: ## scarlet · 2008-06-21T20:45:14.000Z I love watching Shibas play, they are so good together. I'm glad you started the meetup and sure the other owners are as well. Hopefully there will be one close when you move. Look forward to the videos. ## _dlroberts · 2008-06-21T20:54:39.000Z That's awesome Pam! Pili and Aya are so cute together. :-) Poor Ryu has some competition ;-) Thanks for the spam! ## okiron · 2008-06-21T21:05:58.000Z Aww adorable. I love it. Watching shibas play make me feel all warm inside. ## Ryu · 2008-06-21T21:08:30.000Z And one video of all four of them :-) Talk about getting four shibas to look at the camera!! ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-06-21T23:17:20.000Z That's awesome you started a meet up group... looks like it was a blast! They all seemed to get a long pretty well too! GREAT SPAM! lol... spam pam... this is pam spam... lol... I dunno why but, that's fun to say. sorry. ---- ## Romi (admin) · 2008-06-22T00:28:58.000Z LOL Brad! I agree - Great Spam Pam!!! That is really awesome that you started a meet up group! Good for you~! Looks like everyone had fun and really got along well. ## Ryu · 2008-06-22T04:53:47.000Z Thanks guys! I don't really know what I'm doing but I figure something is better than nothing! The other Shiba owners are wonderful so that makes it a lot easier :-) And boy does Ryu change in this group! Usually he is pretty domineering and "in your face" but guess who was the boss out of the four? Little AYA! It's amazing that the smallest of the four and the only girl is the boss! :-) I love her little face! It was pretty funny watching her and Pili play - I never thought I'd miss 4 month old Shiba play but I do! :D Also, Tonka is a former show dog from Oregon/Washington area - I got so giddy seeing a fluffy Shiba lol Jen: aren't their lazy sits the best?! I crack up every time he does it :-) Dave: Ryu DOES have some competition huh?! haha He's such a ham - he's going to have to step up his game Brad and Romi: You just brought back elementary school's relentless "SPAM" nicknames. Thanks. LOL j/k :-) ## scarlet · 2008-06-22T09:26:39.000Z I've always heard females are dominant. They certainly do something to Jake that makes him stand back and take notice :-P ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-06-22T12:28:56.000Z The two females in our home walk all over our poor Kitsune! Wait until Ryu gets a sister!! You'll see! ## diggah · 2008-06-22T15:52:13.000Z Thanks for posting the pics, too bad we couldn't make it. Maybe next time. ## Ryu · 2008-06-22T16:29:27.000Z Definitely next time! We'll be in your part of town most likely and we'll plan for later in the afternoon perhaps!? I still have to meet Koda! :-D ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-06-22T17:12:34.000Z Great stuff (see, I avoided spam...oops ;-) ) They're very cute together! ## ayako · 2008-06-23T16:05:19.000Z pam - thanks for putting the pics. aya had a great time and relaxed for the rest of the day and the next. thanks for the harness too. she actually likes it or maybe too tired to put up a fight. i don't think a lot of you have met pam, but she's the best. organized the group, getting the word out, had treats for all of the dogs and organizing our next meet up. pam - thanks for doing this for all of us on oahu. ## Harlow · 2008-06-23T17:49:00.000Z Great video of those two playing with each other! It looks like there was a lot of sniffing going on. ## Ryu · 2008-06-23T19:44:08.000Z No problem Derek! I'm just happy there are other Shiba owners that will let Ryu jump all over their dogs ;-D I'm glad Aya liked the harness (for now ;-D) - can't wait for the hike this wknd! ## sujewel · 2008-06-24T07:39:00.000Z Tonka is beautiful. Love his tail and I get giddy over fluffy Akita's too. We have Fluff envy, Pam, LOL! Looks like they all had fun and got along BEAUITIFULLY!! ## Ryu · 2008-07-20T21:19:31.000Z Yay for Shibas! We had our second meetup yesterday at the Humane Society park. Our attendance record has doubled since last month (total of 9 yesterday!) and here are some pics! (Derek and Diggah - hope you don't mind I'm posting some of your babies!) Koda, Hiro and Sachi (Sachi is Ayako's sister!) Ryu chasing Hiro Hiro and Mochi & Pili and Sachi Playing musical chairs Ryu and Mochi: Sachi chewing on Ryu - look at his face! lol best buds - Ryu and Pili Beautiful Koda Attempt at a group photo (Can you believe the Shibas are facing the camera but the humans AREN'T??!?!?! lol) Such rude Shibas on the table! Mochi's cinnamon bun tail :-) Inuki: My favorite picture - Aya and Pili playing: Koda winking with both eyes :-) All of them can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/ShibaInuMeetup/JulyShibaInuMeetup ## ddowdemers · 2008-07-20T21:29:46.000Z Wonderful pictures....all of them. The dogs look like they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and can't wait until the next meet. ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-07-20T21:30:11.000Z looks like a great time! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-07-20T23:37:54.000Z mochi is so CUTE!!! i love all the white in his face! great shots! ## sunyata · 2008-07-21T00:07:43.000Z Awesome pictures! The pups all look like they had a blast! And I loved the one of Ryu's face when Sachi was chewing on him! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-07-21T11:46:54.000Z Nice shots of Aya and Pili. I miss the Shiba meetups we used to have. ## _dlroberts · 2008-07-21T15:00:14.000Z Way to go Pam!!!!! Looks like the meetup you started will be your Shiba legacy after you leave the island. :-) ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-07-21T15:11:02.000Z Did you guys have the place to yourselves? ## diggah · 2008-07-21T16:03:58.000Z It rained right before we got there so the park was empty except for the shibas (and a wiener dog that a potential shiba owner brought along). The timing couldn't have been better really. Moach was a dick when we brought him in and spent a bit of time on leash until he figured out that bad dogs don't get to play. I like the picture of him sniffing the magazine lady’s Sony alpha; you can tell he wants to pee on it (heck, if I could make it my property just by marking it, I'd pee on it too.) I was impressed by all the dogs, but I thought Inuki really stood out, she was a beautiful dog and very shy. I also liked Hiro’s attitude, he was probably the most outgoing and was also fairly friendly with people. Thanks again to Pam and Tim for organizing the event, we’re looking forward to the next one. ## Ryu · 2008-07-21T16:32:19.000Z It was a fantastic time! I was so happy and surprised to see so many show up :-) I hate that I'm leaving next month! So I scheduled three meetups LOL ## Ryu · 2008-07-21T16:49:48.000Z Oh! And diggah's comment about the "magazine lady" is referring to Mary Long from Hawaii Pet Magazine who is going to do an article on our meetup! :-D --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
