wakey wakey!

a shiba bouquet of cuteness
sunny eye.
chin up, my boy!
Shiba Inu’s are masters of guilt!
So sorry to disturb you, King Kenji.
Grandpaw dropped off a delicious new toy for my first Shiba.
if Kenji was a model, this would be his headshot.
My “adult” Shiba.
Adult Shiba Inus
Now that Kenji is on the other side of two years old, I can confirm what everyone told me: once your Shiba is an adult, that’s when the true bonding begins.
While still an independent soul, Kenji now tends to follow me around the house, choosing to sleep where I sleep. If I’m on the computer, he’ll appear under my chair to clean himself. And if I get home late from work, he knows, and lets my wife hear about it!
Aside from being calmer and less destructive, Kenji has also blossomed into a protective guardian. Whether it’s a stranger approaching the door or an unfamiliar odor, Mr. K brings it to my attention.
If you are considering a Shiba Inu for apartment living, an adult fits the bill. They are even cleaner and quieter as they move out of puppyhood.
But just because Kenji is now a full-fledged adult doesn’t mean that his mischievous streak has left the building. To the contrary! He might look innocent, but adult Shibas can still be sneaky little devils. Don’t be fooled!
