Bring Gloves

Sienna oftentimes would go to the bathroom and unroll the toilet paper.  Sometimes, she eats it.  I used to do that.  Sienna likes to eat dirt.  I occasionally dabble on it.  Sienna likes to eat shit too, not her own.  I'm so over that unless it's a good cat poo.  I have seen Mom knocked dried poo out of Sienna's mouth.  She always says "Yuck".  She carries a hand sanitizer.  One time she forgot it while on a walk and Sienna picked up a dried dead mouse.  Mom noticed the tail and she had to use a poop bag to cover her hands after she touched the mouse.  We then had to walk really fast and head back home.  She's overreacting as usual.  A little germ won't kill you.

I love sleeping.

 

 

 

 

The gate barrier goes up and Sienna goes to her room when it comes to bones because I will take what is mine.

Grass is Good

Sienna turned 9 months old yesterday and we celebrated by going shopping and going to the park.   We had fun scavenging for kibbles on the floor as we go from aisle to aisle.  At the park, I chased a few tiny dogs and rolled around on the grass. Sienna preferred to play fetch than play with other dogs. We met this Boston Terrier pup and he was very friendly.  He wanted to play with Sienna but she was not interested.    

 

Hello there little boy! Just to let you know that I will snap at you if you try smelling my butt without my permission.

You may now smell me.

 

No fish around, so we got to roll on the grass without being interrupted.  Why do I do this?  Because it's fun, it makes me happy, and I'm honoring an inherited trait from my wolf ancestors.

 

I chased this chihuahua and tried to steal his toy but his Mom came over to reprimand me. 

Tied to the Hips

Being tethered to Sienna is a pain.  I need more leg room and freedom.  She's always going somewhere when it's time to  sit and rest.  Don't get me wrong, I love her dearly but 24/7?  I need some space.  I prefer a one on one walk. We had a routine for awhile, Mom takes her early in the morning (which is perfect since I like to sleep late) and Dad takes me out at night.  Then we go to the dog park together 4 times a week.  Yet lately, we have been walking together which is a drag.  I have to think of ways to get out from this scenario.

Am not having a good time

Hard to chase a duck with my ball and chain next to me :)

 

I won't budge, time to rest and smell the grass.

Sienna, sit down.

No Sienna, I won't go. Sit down!

For the upteenth time, I'm serious little sis, sit your shiba arse down!

See Sienna, isn't the shaded area nice?

We saw some Canadian geese but could not chase it.  Mom won't let go of the 40 ft. leash cos' it's not allowed.   She needs a longer leash.  :-p  

Short time at the beach.  Mom can't handle the both of us.  We were getting tangled up.  The seaweed attacked our leash. :-)

No more Kisses

I smell like oatmeal.  Aside from the obvious reason, I hate baths because Mom likes to pick me up, hug me, and give me kisses.  Waah, I'm too old for this baby stuff.  It's bad enough she talks in baby talk but kissing me in public is embarrassing.  Too much PDA, I'm a shiba after all.  But what can I do but give a big 'sigh' and give in.  It seems to make her happy.  I'm lucky I don't get the blow dry treatment after a bath cos' I really really really hate that.  And how come Sienna didn't get a bath?  She's stinkier than me.

Snack Time

 

False Alarm

We met another black and tan shiba at the park as we were leaving.  Thank goodness my parents didn't take him home.  Mom just talked to the owners.  We have no room for a third shiba or any other dogs for that matter. No more dogs allowed.  The only thing Sienna and I agree upon on was a cat, preferably, a kitten that we can train, play with, or pick on.

Old pal Morgan and I had so much fun playing.  It's been over 2 wks since I've seen her.

Once in awhile, I like to go inside my crate to get some peace from Sienna.

I let Sienna sleep in my bed.  It's a good thing I prefer the couch.
