Sharing Shiba Information

Yesterday, I went to the Irvine Spectrum center to meet with my sisters. Its a  classy outdoor mall, with outdoor diners, benches and tables, my point is you could bring yours dogs! I didn't bring the dogs with me  at  that time because our activities will be limited if I do so. Maybe next time, I'll go there and take take my furkids just to socialize them with people.

I've seen some people walking with their dogs and for the highlights of it, I saw a lady with a Shiba Inu. I calmly approached her and identified the breed. She was with a 7 year old male Shiba named Dante. Too bad I left my camera on my car and didn't catch a picture of him. Since she is carrying a Shiba and assuming that she lived nearby, I asked her if she have gone to any meet ups or picnics like the Shibapalooza that occurred three weeks ago. Surprisingly, she doesn't know anything about all these, so I took the responsibility of informing her all about the meet up group, the picnics, the Shiba club, the Shiba blogs. Seriously, every Shiba owner has the right to know every information on these  wonderful events, groups, and interesting blog poassuminsts around her. I can't help but show her some photos from the Shibapalooza posted on this blog too.

I had fun talking with the lady, showing off and sharing all these Shiba stuff and information with her. She seems really interested and excited about seeing other Shibas out there. Hope we see her soon on the upcoming meet ups and picnics.

Shibapalooza!! 6th Annual Summer Shiba Picnic

Last Saturday, July 16, 2011, We went to the 6th Annual Summer Shiba Picnic sponsored and arranged by the Shiba Club of Southern California. We came a bit late because of a bunch of things I have to do before coming to the event and to top it off, I was up working all night. But that didn't stop us from coming to this wonderful event. It's not everyday that you'll see not just a bunch, but tons of shibas!

The event was held at Yorba Regional Park in the city of Anaheim. It was 20 miles away from home, a 30 minute drive. I think it wouldn't be a good idea to rant on how far the place was, a lot of people came from farther places like San Francisco and Arizona just to take part in the event.

And we get to see another three-legged Shiba whose name I didn't catch again. He actually won the three legged Shiba race with the humoms and hudads.

From the left, Chloe, Toshi, Aiko and Kuma. All three of them go to the same vet as we do.

We get to meet most of the Shiba bloggers as well. I've been looking for them since I got to the event. I decided not to post the photos of the humoms and and hudads, just the pups.

Suki from Jonathan Fleming's blog, and we get to see an excellent photographer at work.

Yuki from A Walk in the Park.

Chloe with the little Taro.

Sachi whom I just recently followed.

I almost forgot to include Prince Zuko from Demon Dog.

With Sinjin on the right and Sienna on the left from Sinjin the Shiba Wanderer. It's funny that I'm conversing with their owner not knowing that She's the voice behind Sinjin and Sienna.

Make sure to check them out they're great bloggers as well. Before finishing this long post, we did'nt come home empty handed. We won a raffle prize and bought some Shiba stuff as well.

The event was surely a blast, myself and Chloe really had fun. I wish Maru could come with us, maybe on the next event he can already tag along. We're looking forward for the next one.
