Shiba Inu Coprophobia
Poor Kenji stepped in it tonight…literally. We were out for a dusk-time stroll when he started to convulse like a maniac. After flitting his leg several times, his paw went limp. In cases like this, I grab his paw, remove whatever is under it and he goes about his business. Well tonight it was a big fat juicy turd - lucky us!
After “the incident” Kenji was spooked; weirded out in the way that only a Shiba can understand. We raced home (me dragging him) and I wiped his paws and scrubbed my hands clean.
It’s been an hour and Kenji is traumatized. Looks like a case of Shiba Inu coprophobia. Let’s hope this latest fiasco doesn’t have legs. Last time he was bothered by some ice melt, it took a good three weeks of TLC to get him comfortable outside again…
