so after 3 full weeks of going raw with Hiro, I've noticed the following things: - his poop strike was sorted out after the first week (he went back to pooping normally) - overall, poops don't smell as bad as before - skin is a little bit less itchy but hasn't helped the balding patches grow back any faster - even with the recommeded amount administered for each feeding for his overall size,

We're on day 3 of the raw diet for Hiro.  He enjoys it immensely and eats with such enthusiasm!  However, I've noticed in the last two days, he has not pooped regularly as he did before.   Prior to the raw diet, he's strictly on the Orijen's 6-Fish or Regional Red.  And of course, he would always have supplements to his kibble diet.  He regularly gets pure salmon oil, sea kelp, primrose oil,

ANTLERS!    we found a great seller on Etsy that sells very natural and affordable antlers. kuma & hiro are very good repeat customers.  it's just like they say, an antler a day keeps the tartar away!

we've been EXTRA busy and the human in charge has been lazy.  we used shiba mind control to get her to write this post to get everybody caught up with our lives.  so here we go: Kuma FINALLY turned 2 years old. To my little girl Kuma, Happy SECOND Birthday! It was just yesterday that you were a little puppy squirming around in my arms. Now at two years old, your clamoring into my lap to

i guess fall as arrived here in sunny california as well.  such a contrast to last week's record breaking heat.  it has actually has started to rain today.  rain usually brings anxiety in our house because my inus don't like being wet.  "no thanks", they say. usually baths bring lots of screaming and crying.  they also avoid the ocean whenever we walk on the beach.  so "not getting wet" is

this movie made my heart melt.  i love my dogs and i'm almost positive that they love me back in some way. call me crazy but my dogs are my kids. i guess for non-dog owners, it's hard to understand why these animals get to live with us, eat our food, lick our faces, sit in the front seat of our cars, accompany us on trips everywhere, and that we talk to them constantly without ever getting a

yesterday we purchased the "Critter Cooler".  we encountered this product back when we did the Nuts for Mutts charity walk.  i wonder why i had never purchased it sooner. i have to refill their regular dog bowl with fresh water every day any way? both dogs love to drink out of it and it keeps water nice and cool.  it's very easy to assemble and has a lifetime warranty.  the owner of the company,

i don't particularly notice either one of my inus having bedtime rituals.  i just notice that when the room is quiet and i look around, i'll find one inu here and one inu there.  for two inus, there are 5 spots for them to sleep: - crate A - crate B - fluffy bed - fleece bed - hardwood floor they like to change it up from night to night and sleep in different spots.  usually with hiro falling

does your inu cry/whimper?  in my old apartment, i used to have bay windows where you can see all the other dog owners walk their dogs outside on this grassy area.  kuma will rush over and put her two front paws up on the window sill to look out and cry because she can see other dogs outside.  from time to time i catch her sitting by the door and crying because she wants to go out.  not to pee.

Our little boy Hiro has come a long way since being rescued from a shelter by his foster mom, Masako.  She did a tremendous job of recording his progress and I would like to continue that here.  LIFE...AS HE KNEW IT Hiro came to a shelter as an owner surrender.  He had severe food and environmental allergies that caused him to loose hair all over and his skin would blacken.  His itchiness was

omg. this is really a shiba!   perhaps it's not because Yuki actually listens to it's owner..? kuma: "tricks are for kids.." hiro: "i'm too sophisticated to turn tricks ma"

i decided to try something new with the inus.  yöghund !  one of the few treats i can feed hiro because of his severe food allergies.  kuma was very pleased with herself because she polished off that cup very quickly.

nothing too exciting to announce in our daily lives.  one of the humans went to new zealand without us so we're a bit depressed bout that.   but life goes on and we still need to keep walking.. hiro had his 4th birthday party in june  and it was so much fun! hiro enjoyed all of his special treats and gifts  from friends of the shiba inu meetup group we've also been the test

Do you allow your shiba to sleep on your bed?  We don't allow either Kuma or Hiro on the bed or sofa but she's here posing for a sample photo.   :)

this blog used to be about my one and only shiba, kuma.  since then, we have moved to the opposite side of the country and we've recently adopted a rescued shiba named hiro. making me a girl with two shibas. each shiba has its own story. its own quirks.  i will do my best to document them here for your entertainment. mostly this blog is to remind me how much i love each of them. have a Shiba
