Very cute!

## lindsayt · 2009-02-02T04:11:37.000Z
The 1st reminds me of a snowy owl. He is pretty sitting like that.

I see....arctic fox! :) ~

## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-02-02T04:15:14.000Z
& I disagree, I think this is my favorite! [ imho :p ]~

WOW. Maui pix! So rare to see him on camera. Those are beautiful pix. I especially like that he's squinting. Gives him more personality in 2D.

The little guy is handsome with his posing face :-) It's incredible how he keeps himself so thin.

I like the second one. Nice lighting, nice cloud reflection in the window. Maui is a cute boy.

Maui is so adorable. I love his little face. How much does Maui weigh? Pictures of shiba's are always so deceiving.

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-02-02T10:51:51.000Z
he's a handsome guy

## _dlroberts · 2009-02-02T11:08:12.000Z
He looks so content in those. Did you make that perch specifically for him?

## asia · 2009-02-02T11:41:30.000Z
Very handsome!

## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-02T13:54:31.000Z
Kristin - Maui is pretty thin, he eats like a super model. Last time we weighed him he was 14lb. The dog has had more [medical] tests done on him to see why he doesn't eat and why his skin is so dark... but we never find anything. I think he is just strange. lol. Dave - Yep, that is his "safe place" outside. When he freaks out and gets all zoomie crazy on us he will retreat to that spot to escape the other pups [they like to chase him, and he likes them to chase him - until he wants them to stop]. The only other pups that go up there are Loa and Kona, and they are very gentle with Maui so he is ok with them. It's kinda like his "base". ----

14lbs! Wow that is small. Sake just weighed it at 16.6!

## sunyata · 2009-02-02T13:59:50.000Z
He does look rather content on his perch. :) I really like the first picture. You caught his expression just right. Were you using your 50mm or your zoom?

## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-02T15:31:56.000Z
oops, Jen just corrected me, he is 16lb. I was using my 70-300 @ 70mm - that lens is perfect for catching the dogs unexpected. I LOVE my 50mm, but it is hard to use w/ the dogs since they move around so much. ----

I love Maui. She was so sweet when we met her in December. I love the first picture.

## Romi (admin) · 2009-02-02T17:31:19.000Z
Maui Maui Maui! He is the sweetest Shiba! You know what I noticed...Maui and Ninja look very similiar is build. Since they are both skinny and not very fluffy - it really makes their upper body look buff! I think we should introduce Ninja and Maui - they would probably be best friends and talk about all their issues - HA!

## ddowdemers · 2009-02-02T18:14:11.000Z
whoops...of course I know that Maui is a boy. Sorry Maui.

## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-02T18:40:59.000Z
No worries, he is a very feminine boy anyway. lol. Romi, that would either go really well or horribly bad. I'm willing to give it a try. LOL! ----

## Calia · 2009-02-02T19:24:47.000Z
Bit late, but those pictures are just adorable, you can almost see him smiling

## lindsayt · 2009-02-02T20:47:16.000Z
"Feminine boy", I like that description much better than hearing "bitchy dog", it doesn't make him sound all mean and nasty that way.

## baanton · 2009-02-02T21:15:19.000Z
Maui is adorable! I love the first pic of him --- looks very regal and satisfied with himself! Thanks for sharing!

## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-04T21:42:01.000Z
A new one of Mr. Taco [aka Maui]... ----

## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2009-02-04T22:12:54.000Z
That may be my favorite picture of any cream colored shiba ever.

## KFontaine04 · 2009-02-04T22:57:10.000Z
He looks like a doggie model. I love Maui. (don't tell Sake:)

## sujewel · 2009-02-04T23:52:38.000Z
Maui is so photgenic! LOVE that last pic.

## hondru (moderator) · 2009-02-05T01:29:26.000Z
The first one is my favourite.

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-02-05T11:08:42.000Z
why "mr taco"?

## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-02-05T14:54:56.000Z
We used to eat a restaurant called "Maui Taco" - I think they all closed... but early on in Maui's life, because of that restaurant, we started calling him "Taco", or "Mr. Taco". ----
