Shiba Inu Cam, Part Deux

In December 2008, millions of hearts shattered when six shiba inu puppies, whose lives were broadcast for all to see on Ustream, were adopted to effectively end the feed.
Today, that big gaping hole in my heart was filled.
Yes, that’s right — the shiba inu puppy cam is back! The second litter consists of 3 boys and 2 girls, born this past Saturday, January 16th, to proud mother Kika.

I guarantee that many additional hours will be spent with the video in fullscreen mode. Even my dog Comang is entranced!…

Traitor!

My sister came to visit today, and Comang has not left her side. He’s been ignoring me for the new two-legger the entire day…they’re taking a nap together on the couch as I type this!
(I’ve blocked out my sister’s face because she values her privacy a lot more than I do. Plus, I’m quite certain she would murder me if I posted the unedited version on the world wide web.)
And here I thought the lying-on-his-back, using-my-arm-as-his-pillow sleep position was reserved only for me. Traitor!…

Upward-Facing Dog

When my dog Comang is at his most comfortable, he likes to flip onto his back. (Please excuse the quality of these pictures, as most of them were taken with camera phones.)

He has no shame, that one, fully spreading and baring his genitals for all to see.

Sometimes I’ll even join him… (but in a more modest manner)

Other times I’ll come home to see what he’s really been doing the entire time I was gone.

He usually ignores the TV, but we like to think that he quite enjoys it in his upside-down position, as his favorite place…

Doggy Back Jacket

I have never been the type to adorn her pets with nonessential clothes or accessories. And although Comang is a shih-tzu, we keep his hair short because it is easier to maintain.
However, as we enter our first winter together I am a bit worried that my little guy will suffer from the frigid northeast weather as we go on our twice-daily walks.
Last week we experienced the coldest day of the season (so far) and so I took out the doggy shirt that his previous owners had bequeathed to us. The little guy LOVED it — he started running…

Thanksgiving Day Goes to the Dogs

My dog Comang is obsessed with my sister’s dog Dante. Not in a “I have a crush on you” way. Nor in a “I want to hump the crap out of you” way. It is pure, unadulterated OBSESSION wherein the entire world disappears save for this one Cairn Terrier mix.
My poor furbaby, whom everyone says is one of the most well-behaved dogs they’ve ever seen, goes into a frenzy when Dante is within sniffing vicinity. He follows him around everywhere, goes into hyperventilation mode, and even loses control of his bowel movements (this is the dog who has never…
