Dear readers,
My sister Sikoya has been away for a bit raising her litter at Koyote Kennels. It means I get to have some computer time when sister isn't around to hog it all looking up stuff on Google ... and it has been a nice opportunity for me to spend a bit of One on Two time with Mummy and Daddy.
And I have been educating them in true Shiba fashion.
The first thing they learned is that I *love* to play! From the moment the alarm clock rings until bedtime, I will bring my currently selected favorite toy to them and beg them to play with me. I'll even tug on their pantsleg with my front paw in an effort to engage them. They are pretty good about it and will go a few rounds with me before they tire of it and I'm left to my own devices.
Just last night however they suprised me and kept going and going. It was 45 minutes of them throwing the ball and me fetching it (indoors) and I finally slurped down a bunch of water and flaked out on the carpet. I think I suprised them when I stopped [she suprised us all right, we thought we had the energizer bunny in a shiba package].
The next thing they learned is that I *love* car rides, or truck rides as the case may be. It can be 5 minutes or 5 hours, I love it all.
I have taught them that I have selected deafness. I will be amazingly swift [she is so amazingly swift, when her butt hits the ground you can hear/feel it! LOL] to execute a SIT command IF there's a treat shown, but will be darn near deaf if there isn't. Daddy's been working on this with me and is trying to get my obedience up to par with my sister's, but I'll show him Shiba attitude just to keep them yummy treats flowing!
Lastly, they learned that I will engage them in play if they roll over loudly in the middle of the night. I'll jump up on the bed and lick their faces until they wake up and play or give me a Belly Rub. They even have a sense of humour about it at 4am. Humans are weird creatures sometimes...
That's all for now -- I'm overdue for my bedtime Belly Rub!
