Shio's Top 10 of 2010

/

Happy Holidays everyone! It's THAT time of the year... the time to gorge ourselves on booze, food and presents galore. It's also time for the "best of" countdowns!

Counting down our favorite moments on this blog from 2010:

10. The size of Shio's ego vs. reality

9. Bath time!

8. Any video of Shibas frolicking in knee deep snow is a winner. This one is our personal favorite.

7. Remember when Shio resisted walking here? And here. And here. The list could go on and on...

6. ...Oh wait - the list does go on! More of Shio's leash walking protests here, here and here. Last one here. Phew! That was a lot.

5. He loves us! Proof that Shio really really loves us!

4. The day that Shio became a real city slicker with his first subway ride.

3. Crimped fur-do.

2. Who'z in da house? Jersey Shore in da house. *paw pump*

1. A Sephora experience unlike any other you've witnessed before.

Thanksgiving Post

/

This year was our second Thanksgiving that we were able to spend with our little Shio! Last year we road tripped to Cape Cod and Newport. This year, we kept it local.

Here he is on Thanskgiving day running himself silly on a Fire Island beach:

Also found this sea creature and tried to put it in his mouth:

Then worked on digging his way back to Japan:

We ended the holiday weekend with trip to Prospect Park so Shio could run and play some more!

Meeting new friends:

Unfortunately, towards the end of the trip Shio started choking on his treat. He managed to cough it up (*phew*!) but not before I caught a picture of his "airplane" ears:

Fall Is Here!

/

Fall is in the air, which means Shio no longer finds it too hot to run as fast as he can in the park! We went to Prospect Park today and took some nice photos of Shio and his new best friend Feta in the fall foliage.

Here is Shio feeling the cool winds on his fur...

Feta also feeling good...

The two soon engaged in "play play play"...

All were tired, and we went home...
