Lately, I've been so busy with so many things like work, studies, and so many other stuff that I realized that there hasn't been any blog post for the month of March. As much as I want to create one, time won't allow me to.

So the other day, it crossed my mind to create a facebook page for my two fur kids. More publicity, more activity. Hope I can go back to posting pretty soon. Like us on facebook, here's the link:

Tales of Chloe and Maru | Promote Your Page Too

One Year of Shibas

A week ago, February 19, 2012 marks one year when I picked up Chloe and took her home. I never mentioned this before, but I bought Chloe from a pet shop in a mall near my place. I kept this story from this blog to encourage readers and future pet owners to purchase puppies from authorized breeders and not from pet stores who gets their puppies mostly from puppy mills. At that time, I still lack the knowledge of the situation regarding these pet stores and puppy mills. In any case, for my second dog Maru, I got him from a trustful shiba inu breeder.

A lot has changed since the dogs came. The post will never finish if I mention all these changes, But one thing is for sure, Chloe and Maru has forever changed my life, may it be for the better or worse.


Photos of Chloe and Maru when I first got them...

Look how adorable they have grown...

Fur Fur Everywhere

The dreadful days came already! Both Chloe and Maru started shedding at the same time. I'm already expecting the shedding part when I chose the Shiba to be the breed of my dog, but I didn't expect the amount of fur to be this MUCH. 

There's fur everywhere you look; inside the crate, on the carpet, chairs, sofa, furniture, even in most unusual places like on top of the table and the piano. I wouldn't be surprised if I will also find fur in my food.

Shiba Inu Anniversary Meetup

We learned that the Los Angeles / Orange County Shiba Inu Meetup Group has been going on for 4 years and we came to play to the park where it all began.

I started with a video to show how much Shiba attendees there were. It's even hard to tell all of them apart or even look for our own ones. The event was held in Huntington Dog park, a very spacious park to enough to accommodate large numbers of dogs. 

The difference between Chloe and Maru was evident here. Chloe is really good with people and loves attention from others as always but doesn't play that much with other dogs.

Whereas Maru prefers to play and run around with other dogs but is quite aloof with people around him.

We also have cute puppies present in the event too, This one is Genji.

And the Shibas started digging led by Genji's big sisfur Yumi.

And the other dogs joined too, It's a shame my dogs aren't too fond of digging.

 We iz tired of diggin' . We want want drinkz.

And I end this post with a nice photo of Chloe with a cream Shiba jumping on the background.

Liebster Blog Award

It seems that our little blog here have been nominated by the people behind the Shibapursuit for the Liebster Blog award. Though I have no idea what the award is about, we are very thankful to them and to everyone who reads, enjoys, appreciates and follow our little website here. 

The one that presented the award mentioned of giving out the award to others too, But We'll just do it our own way and just enumerate some blogs that we enjoy and recommend for the readers out there:

• The Misadventures of a Shiba Inu - This is the very first blog I read from beginning to end. I read the whole thing before getting my own Shiba Inu. It pretty much gave me the idea and scenario of how it was like to own a Shiba.

• Inu Baka - An insightful blog about a Couple and their four dogs. The blog discusses various topics and experiences such as fostering dogs, behavioral issues, products and much more interesting stuff pertaining to our furry friends.

• Jonathan Fleming's Blog - An Awesome Photography blog with Suki their Shiba Inu as the frequent subject of his beautiful photos.
