Dumpster Diving Doggie Style

After a full day of work, this is what we came home to:



I guess after the turkey, Jujube has trained herself to go through our garbage.  Now what do we do?  Does this mean we can't throw any food garbage in our garbage?  Yun thinks that we can somehow block it off from her.  I'm not as optimistic.

Random Shiba Links

I've followed the blog Rowdy Rover for a long time, but recently I've been absolutely smitten!  This shiba breeder now has puppies, and we all know shiba puppies are the cutest!!!  Here's one of my favorite pictures:


In addition to chronicling the lives of my two pups, I'm also going to start sharing "Random Shiba Links" on this blog. I hope you enjoy!

Yet another leash


We're now going for ... not our first... not our second... but our third leash replacement!  I have to say, I've been extremely happy with the lifetime guarantee offered by Lupine.  It's so easy!  I just ship them the old leash with a note telling them my address, and then they very promptly send me a replacement.  I pay less than $2 to ship the old chewed up leash back to them.  I highly recommend Lupine!  (I feel obligated to give them some free advertising, since this is our third replacement.)  You can also buy Lupine products through the Midwest Shiba Inu Rescue shop.

"Why so much chewing?" you might ask.

Well, Jujube isn't much of a puller.  She might give you a couple tugs to indicate where she wants to go, but she won't really pull much.  Instead, she'll start chewing on the leash.  So if you're not paying attention to her, and not headed in the direction she wants to go in, then she'll be secretly and patiently working her way to freedom.  She also has the bad habit of immediately chewing on her leash as soon as it is put on her.  What can I say?  The girl likes her freedom.

Turkey

This past weekend, we finished our Thanksgiving leftovers, and tossed the turkey carcass into the garbage. Our kitchen trash can has a top on it, so we've never been concerned about the dogs getting into the garbage. Well, never underestimate a shiba, especially a shiba named Jujube.

Yun and I were upstairs putting together our new Ikea closet system when we heard some noises. Loki was with us, but Jujube was nowhere in sight. Uh oh, if Juju isn't nearby, then she's up to no good. We came downstairs to this sight.



How in the world, did she get the turkey out of the trash without knocking the whole can over? It's a typical tall kitchen trash can. Maybe 2.5 ft. tall? Practically none of the other trash was taken out -- just the turkey and some pieces of paper towel.




Well, I've been very worried these past couple of days about whether Jujube ingested any bones. Turkey bones are particularly bad for dogs because of splintering. They can cause lots of damage. So far, she appears to be acting completely normal. She's full of energy. She still wags her tail lots. She still prances around and dances in circles before all her meals. She still gobbles all her food up very quickly. The only thing is that she has had some diarrhea. But everything else seems fine.

Well, I'll keep my eye on her for the next couple of days. Hopefully there was enough leftover meat on that carcass (yes, we were a bit wasteful) so that she went for the meat first rather than bone. And hopefully, she didn't have too much time alone with that carcass before we found out.

By the way, this act, which was clearly all Jujube's doing, now confirms the our suspicions that she was the culprit in the apple pie mystery.

Video of the pups enjoying the first snowfall of the season. Loki is the one who keeps on digging and offering play bows. It's so much fun to watch them enjoy themselves!

What a pretty boy!


Where's my girl? 
There she is!


What kind of sleeping spot is that!?

Last night, Loki slept in a crate as usual, and Jujube hopped on the bed as usual.

But where does she decide to settle down??

On my foot! Not near my foot. Not leaning against my foot. Right smack on top of it. What kind of sleeping spot is that? Does she not notice that my foot is there? It can't be comfortable! The entire other half of the bed is completely empty! (Yun comes to bed later than me.) Of all places to circle and plop, she decides my foot is the best place?
