Arrival Story:
A military friend had just bought her and found out the next day they were being deployed overseas. She asked if I would take a look and maybe buy her. Having NEVER owned a dog before, I was reluctant (I've been a cat person all my life!). But the instant I saw this 10 wk old puppy, it was like the universe crashed in on me. I was instantly transfixed and deeply in love. Went home to discuss with the husband, he didn't think it was a good idea. Brought him to my friend's house to see the pup, evidently, the universe didn't crash in on him. After 3 days of wrangling and negotiation (my birthday was a month away, hahahaha), I brought this amazing creature home with me. I've never lost that strange feeling for her. Fate, destiny, whatever, Tikka and I were meant for each other!

Bio:
My daddy gave me my name. He's a weapons expert and has been a reloader for a super long time. Tikka is the name of a high quality Sako Finnish shotgun owned by Beretta and brand labeled in Italy...sheesh, dad, are you happy now! Anyway, grammy can't get into all that so she just calls me shotgun. Normally, I'd be offended and wouldn't deign to respond, but grammy's really nice so I forgive her faux pas.

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING TAG!


November 23rd 2007 6:56 am   [link to this entry]

My "typist" has been slacking! She got this new job, so MY administrative needs have been put on the back burner, hmmpff! I will have to teach her to get her priorities straight.

In the meantime, I have to apologize to all my pals who have tagged me (Kiku, Winnie and T-Bone). I wasn't ignoring you, my paws were tied! My good pal Siri has just tagged me with a special Thanksgiving tag, so I nagged mommy until she got on the computer!

Here are the rules:
Because it’s Thanksgiving time, there is a change to the rules.

Each player needs to tell seven special things they are
thankful for. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary
and their 7 things. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their
names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been
tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to
play.

The seven things I'm thankful for are:

1. I have a wonderful home with a loving mom & dad
2. I am healthy and active
3. I have terrific pup pals here on dogster!!
4. Mommy spoils me endlessly!
5. Although they get on my nerves, I am thankful for my cat-brats.
6. I get to go to the dogpark EVERY weekend!
7. I AM A SHIBA INU!!!!!!!!

Let's see, who can I tag?

Titus My cute little pug friend.
Duncan So handsome and a GREAT dance partner!
Mia The bravest, sweetest pup on Dogster!
Molly Lakota Blue My cute little cousin...bossy, but cute!
Tessa Sue My cool, smart, RAW pal!
Aya My gorgeous, photogenic Shiba pal!
Sarah Smartypants My best friend on Dogster! Sarah, just know that whenever I get tagged, you get tagged, bol!!


The Doggie Bed


September 7th 2007 9:39 am   [link to this entry]

My mommy loves me, she really does. But, she doesn't "get me", ya know? See, I have my own couch where I sleep. But I also like to sleep on the floor or outside. Even though I'm little, I'm pretty rugged. I don't like a lot of girlie, foo-foo things.

Well, mom decides to buy this doggie bed from petsmart. She kinda felt bad that I laid on the floor a lot and she thought I needing something comfy. Can't blame her for that. So she buys this big cushy pillow thing. Hmmm, seemed like a great toy to tear up! No, she says. Tikka this is for you to lay on or sleep on. She left it on the floor for awhile. As I said, I have my own couch, if I want something soft and comfy, I'll use that!

Well, I didn't care for the pillow thing and proceded to pick a different spot on the floor to lay down which really aggravated mommy! Why don't you want to lay on the pillow Tikka?? Hee, hee! I dunno, I just don't.

Well, then my cat-brat Ray-Ray decides to lay on MY pillow!! WHAT!! Hey, no fair! I was just about to lay there myself! MOM!!!!!!!!!!!

So I bark at stupid Ray-Ray and tell him to GET OFF MY PILLOW!! Does he listen, NO! He just hisses and swats at me. THE NERVE!!!

So I go to mom to tattle on him and have her get him off my pillow. Know what she says? Well, if you don't use it, Ray-Ray can use it. WHAT!!!

IT. IS. MY. PILLOW!!!

Just because I don't lay on it doesn't mean that HE can! It's mine, mine, mine!! I know its mine 'cause I was with mommy when she got it, not Ray-Ray!

Well, me and the cat-brat argued so much over it, that mommy picked it up off the floor and she uses it on the couch for herself. Well, I don't mind that so much as long as RAY-RAY doesn't get to use it, hmmmpf!
