How cute is that! A special place for a Shiba to do their "work" aka Nap. It's a tough job but some shiba's gotta do it!

## Ryu · 2008-10-27T12:40:17.000Z
Oh yes, and he takes his job VERY seriously :P He's kind of depressed today. Since we moved to MO last month, he has gotten extremely attached to one of our roommates (Drew - who owns the house we are renting). Well, Drew moved to Oklahoma this morning and Ryu has been whimpering underneath his bed the entire time he was packing. I felt bad for the poor pup :(

Awe, poor Ryu. Some dogs just hate change. But he certainly looks comfy under your gorgeous new desk! Tim did an amazing job.

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-10-27T12:43:49.000Z
I love your desk, tell Tim "Great Job!". I love Ryu's "hidey-hole". He'll be able to get lots of napping, I mean work done there.

Is that a drumset for rock band? Nice desk. I'd love to have room for a wood working shop, someday.

## Ryu · 2008-10-27T12:47:30.000Z
Yep, I definitely lucked out with my Construction Science major husband! You can't see it in the pictures but he even put in a metal groove so I can cut fabrics just like at the fabric store :) I feel like a pro haha I just noticed that Ryu left his napping spot and went to Drew's old bed :(

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-27T12:48:55.000Z
I do a lot of sewing as well and I always said I need one of those cutting things so my lines get straight! You lucky duck. My husband is a construction project manager and I can't wait until we buy our own house and have room. Im sure I will need plenty of things built!

## Ryu · 2008-10-27T12:49:29.000Z
haha Brandon! You have laser eyes or something :) Yes, it's our Rock Band set. It is VERY popular in this house but I refuse to have it out in the living room like it's decoration. The other night, the three guys were jamming while I was working. I couldn't concentrate through all the "Say It Isn't So" *singing*!

## Ryu · 2008-10-27T12:51:00.000Z
Having a guy that loves to build things is SOOOO nice. I can't tell you how much of our furniture was built in our garage. He loves the practice, I love the money we save!

## sunyata · 2008-10-27T12:51:36.000Z
Wow. Tim did an awesome job! And Ryu looks very comfy. But that stinks that he lost his buddy. Just remind him of what an awesome yard he has, and maybe he will perk up? :)

## _dlroberts · 2008-10-27T14:09:20.000Z
Awww, poor Ryu. Take him to the park and give him a nice treat and he'll perk right up, I'm sure. Tell Tim he did a great job on the table!

## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-10-27T14:26:32.000Z
*Say it AINT so. Rockband is best played when consuming alcohol, it helps cover up the awfulness of those playing. Even a romp in that big back yard and some treats will probably help Ryu out.

## Nekopan · 2008-10-27T14:31:25.000Z
Spiffy desk! Lmao, I can't even imagine playing Rock Band/Guitar Hero while drunk, it would be so difficult!

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-27T14:31:48.000Z
I love Rockband. I used to play all the time at a friends house. My husband is gamming challenged though and Im sure he wouldn't be able to figure out the game! I play guitar hero on my Nintendo DS though, it's still pretty cool.

## Nekopan · 2008-10-27T14:34:50.000Z
Ooh! How is the DS version? I've been eyeing it up, wondering if it's as fun as the console ones. Also, do you know if it works on the original style DS (ie, not the DS Lite)?

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-27T14:39:48.000Z
I have the original DS and it works just fine. It comes with an adapter for the original DS that you just have to swap out, there is one little screw and thats it. It is def not as fun as the console, but it is worth the $40. I love it.

## Nekopan · 2008-10-27T14:46:32.000Z
Thanks! I'll have to pick it up. Thread jack over. :)

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-27T14:53:43.000Z
Yes, back to how adorable Ryu is under Tim's beautifully built desk!

## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-10-27T14:54:13.000Z
Awwww that;s just too cute! He looks quite content :) ~

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-10-27T14:56:44.000Z
Nice desk!

## Ryu · 2008-10-27T15:04:10.000Z
Haha - no worries about the thread jack :) If I had to choose, I would take Rock Band over any war video game any day!!! There's nothing worse than listening to bullets and "Man Down!!" all day Looks like I'll be baking some yummy doggie treats today...although he has moved from Drew's bed to MY pillow :)

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-27T15:09:44.000Z
Good sign! Yummm...baked goodies...I am gonna try out a new carrot pupcake recipie for Miso's birthday next month.

## StaticNfuzz · 2008-10-27T18:22:58.000Z
The spot looks perfect for a bed! Change is tough on everyone. : (

Ok, so what's the recipe for carrot pup cakes? I'd love to try it out

Snf

cute cuddle spot and GREAT work space!

## Romi (admin) · 2008-10-28T00:10:51.000Z
Nice desk Pam! Can Tim build me one too? LOL. My office is always a mess. I have two 55 width x 30 depth desks in the shape of an L and never have space! I think I have to get another one! That is really cool how he designed it too! Ryu looks real snuggly :). What is up with dogs and sleeping under desks? LOL Ninja and Portia are always napping under my desks!

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-10-28T01:45:41.000Z
Pam: "Look at this great desk my hubby made me, and it's so cute how Ryu loves it too." Ryu: "Dad built me this awesome fort then mom came and put her stuff all over it, what's up with that?" ----

## Romi (admin) · 2008-10-28T01:47:33.000Z
Brad - that was great! You also have a pretty awesome desk!

## hondru (moderator) · 2008-10-28T01:47:49.000Z
LOL - so true, Brad!

## KFontaine04 · 2008-10-28T09:36:02.000Z
