Time flies...

I was going through the pictures on my digital camera (over 300!) and found these puppy ones. They grow up so fast! The hubs and I did not realize how little they used to be. There are some soundless vids too, but they're quite dark so I will post them at a later date when I enhance them. In the meantime, check out these puppies:

River used to not mind wearing clothes.
Now she'll get "stuck" when I put anything on her.

Rowdy like to sleep on shoes for some reason.

Is that a fox?!

Often while walking the pups or out in public, people will stop us and inquire if that really is a fox on the end of the leash. The conversation usually goes:

Person: "Omigosh, is that a fox?!"

Me: "No, he's a Shiba Inu."

Person: "What? Sheebeenu?"

Me: "A Shiba Inu."

Person: "Cha-beenu?"

Me: "SHEE-ba EEE-nu."

Person: "..." (Blank stare.)

Me: "Shiba Inu. A Japanese breed of dog that is related to the Akita. This is as big as he will get."

Person: "Well, he looks just like a fox!"

When Rowdy was younger we used to get stopped more often. Now we expect it and think it's weird when no one asks us. It kind of gets annoying after the 10th time of trying to convince the person that I'm not walking my pet fox.

How often do you other Shiba Inu owners encounter the above situation? Leave your comment!
