Booker the Shiba Inu

How we celebrate our Shiba Inus’ birthdays

Posted on November 14, 2018

Our ladies celebrated their birthdays last month! Booker is now 2 years old and Haru is 1. It’s been a rollercoaster with these two Shiba Inus but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. These two mean so much to us that we celebrate their existence in our lives everyday. It’s only once a year that these little ladies get older so we take the time to go the extra mile. Baked goodies Last year I baked a…

What’s up with Booker and Haru

Posted on October 4, 2018

October 4th is World Animal Day. It helps to promote better animal care standards, but also reminds us that animals are living and breathing creatures. It’s a fantastic day to donate to local shelters or even adopt a pet that’s in need. We have a full house so we’re unable to do that. What we can do is give our dogs a little extra love. I figured now would be a great time to give an update on how our ladies…

An update on our puppy

Posted on February 26, 2018

It’s so cold that we’ve been staying home with the dogs instead of going out. Today it hit 25° and my fingers were aching by the time we got back home after walking the dogs. So I figured it would be a good time to give you guys an update on baby Haru. Haru is now a little over 4 months old and growing like a weed. She’s got all her shots (expect her rabies, we will be getting that…

Our Shiba Inu’s first birthday

Posted on September 15, 2017

This post is a day late because we wanted to celebrate Booker’s first birthday! She was born September 15, 2016. We brought her home in mid November and we haven’t looked back since. Shiba Inu are known as independent and feisty dogs and Booker has been that the entire time. But she’s also well loved and the perfect fit for our family. And now she’s finally 1 year old! I made her a cake with this recipe and it came…

Langevelderslag Strand, The Netherlands

Posted on June 20, 2017

When summer comes to mind, what else follows? A beautiful, tall cup of iced tea. Sitting outside with ice cream while enjoying a cool breeze in the shade. And of course, the beach. Langevelderslag Strand is the closest beach and boy is it breathtaking. So when Sander’s sister asked if we wanted to join her and her friend for a walk on the beach with all our dogs… We couldn’t say no. The unique part of summer here, is that the…

Owning a Shiba Inu seven months in

Posted on April 3, 2017

Booker is seven months old now and is still quite a handful. We knew that choosing a Shiba Inu for a dog would be a challenge. But she’s been amazing. I’ve grown up around dogs and don’t consider my house a home without one. Sander’s family brought Snowy into their lives around 10 years ago and Lucky two years after that. They are Friese Stabij mixes and are pretty common in the Netherlands. When choosing a Shiba, I knew I…

Booker’s first snow day

Posted on February 13, 2017

I’m not one for just dumping photos on a post but I think that this shoot carries the phrase, “A picture is worth 1000 words”. This was our babe’s first snow and she clearly didn’t want the snow day to end. Snowfall here is rare but I’ve yet to see a dog that doesn’t enjoy the snow! Dogs are just like kids in that way… A snow day is the best day ever!…

Booker our first Shiba Inu

Posted on December 5, 2016

Here it is! The post you have been waiting for, we got a puppy! She’s a Shiba Inu named Booker (named after the main character in Bioshock Infinite). We had to drive a long way to get her but it was so worth it! She’s adorable and such a sweet puppy. Unfortunately we found she has giardia and she’s on medication for it. She finished her latest set of medicine and seems to be improving but will have loose stool on…
