Don't Buy a Shiba shirts!!

Cafepress store has some awesome shirts that my mom is thinking of getting. I don't quite know why... I know she has had some unfortunate mishaps when i'm racing all over the park and down roads to the sound of sweet freedom. And I'm not the most sympathetic of dogs when she is wailing for help. I can be impatient to resume my highlight of the day, the walk-about to attain perfect constitutionals. These can only occur after an appropriate amount of time has lapsed which can be 10 laps around the park. Take a look and tell me what you think fellow sheebs.

Loki's mom got him famous on I has a hot dog.
He's on my friends' list on the right.
Mom said if this was me - I would be thinking
  1. Is this a trick and they're trying to choke me with this?

  2. Should I torture Max with this & growl at him for a change instead of vice versa?

  3. Have they set the stopwatch yet for me to get in the Guinness book for fastest eating dog?

We are from Hell....



Today, Max and I went for a ride.... It was the last indian summer weekend of the year Mom said. It was a long drive and our slaves didn't quite know how to find the town they were looking for. A place called Hell, Michigan.

When we got there, they had haystacks to pee on, a golf course called Gulf and lots of people on loud bikes wanting to pet your royal highness, myself. When Daddy insisted on taking my picture with this cutout, I'm not sure why. Mom said you guys will empathize. Max conquered the Great
Pumpkin and posed with it.

Shiba, the Drain Commissioner

My dog thinks he's a drain commissioner....

He helps participate in soil erosion damage by digging furiously when sump pumps kick on during rainy periods.... Nothing excites Scout more than when his digging compels pumps to come on gushing a river of water for his reward. Scout must think in his head that he is turning them on and off through his psychic powers... He monitors and approves drainage in new developments, subdivisions and drainage ditches in times of heavy rainfall. Maybe someday I'll capture Scout on video doing his rounds if he hasn't caused me to lose my camera chasing him to the pots of gold.

It's highly possible he wants to join Sable, a nearby German Shepherd who is the only dog known to detect illicit and failing septic connections that flow from homes into rivers and streams. Sable wears a fluorescent green vest when he's working, identifying him as a "Sewage Sniffing K-9," as part of the company Tetra Tech's "Illicit Discharge Detection Unit."

Owners should be aware that drainage water often is a breeding ground for mosquitos and other bacteria so be sure and make your human keep you up to date on your heartworm & vaccinations.
