So proud of my oldest dog, Isabella. She actually went on her morning constitutional today with us, sans leash. She did awesome! Walked the entire block without veering off or getting distracted. If you know anything about Shiba Inu’s, you know that’s a pretty impressive feat, especially without having gone to obedience school.

Oh Kit, you know I’m a sucker for animal stories – more pictures please
For you, my dear, because you requested…I will do a pet post. Promise.
Such a beautiful pup, watch out for courages.
Very true. Watching out for cougars. Actually, at least without the lead she has an opportunity to run away.
Good point.
Happy Monday
They are cute dogs. We see many of them here in Manhattan.
Thanks. They’re protective of their families.
Aww, good for her. She’s gorgeous, just like her name!
Thanks, Mae..
It was so long before my parents allowed me to walk without a leash. Of course, I grew up in Brooklyn, so there were safety issues involved…
I suspect your deep thoughts often led to unsanctioned rambles, causing the need for a lead as much as the neighborhood.
The mean streets of Brooklyn were always calling me…
Plenty of people and situations to philosophize over, I’m sure!
Yay!!!! Congrats
Thanks!
Well done Isabella, mummy is indeed proud of your accomplishment
She is such a beautiful dog!!!!!!
Thanks! I think so.
Very cute, we don’t see many of these guys in my area.
She’s gorgeous. (Followed)
Thank you! I agree..though she’s not all that common here, either.
Ohhh…your pup is a cutie! (Then again, just about every pup is a cutie in my book.)
And oh … I wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog….and especially commenting on one of them (the singledom one). I will get a response to it soon as well.
In the mean time, I thought I’d poke around on yours…and then decided, what better blog to leave a thank you, than on a pupper one.
My pleasure. Thank you for the kind words about my little girl! She’s a sweetheart.
