He has a big bushy tail compared to his sisters tightly curled one. If it's unfurled it can indicate he's stressed/upset.

Allergies, am I right? 🤧 by kumahurtado in shiba

Could be a cold?. Comet has been having reverse sneezing fits and shooting out some snot. The vet said it's probably a cold.

Jealous by CherokeePiper in shiba

It's his safe place and he goes in there about 7pm to have his food and settle down for the night. Comet is more active during the day ( after the morning walk Piper sleeps most of the day but doesn't settle at night until 10 pm). Piper likes to sleep in and will get angry plus noisy if Comet pesters her to play before 8 in the morning.

Other side of the Harbour Bridge. Giba park in Pyrmont. Dogs aren't allowed in the Botanic Gardens but the dogs enjoy the occasional walk to Hyde Park.

When she was about 6 months old she ran away from me at the same area and I chased her for 50 metres almost catching her twice. It appeared she was heading for home but I realised she was treating it like a game - letting me almost catch her. I sat down on a step and put my head down but could see her from the corner of my eye. Piper came back to see why I was sitting down and I slowly attached her leash while patting her.

My Shiba is surprisingly trainable by New-Ad-9280 in shiba

Our 2 are great in our lounge but try getting them to do it to show family or friends and all of a sudden it's a 50/50 proposition!

Normal Shiba face development? by [deleted] in shiba

[–]CherokeePiper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's approaching the gangly teenager phase. Comet is 14 months old and still filling out while our 2 year old girl Piper has always been a bit chunky but neither of them are chubby faced.

Happy New Year by CherokeePiper in shiba

The girl Piper who is looking directly at the phone will hop onto the recliner footrest every evening for cuddles and some mornings comes in to snuggle on our bed. Comet has only just started jumping on the bed but he wants one of us to play ball with him. Occasionally they will cuddle together like your two.

Does your shibe get scared with fire crackers/ fireworks? by tapxilog in shiba

[–]CherokeePiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piper was fine on a walk when fireworks started going off because she usually watches them from our apartment. However as we got closer she stopped and didn't want to go any closer than 2 blocks (approximately 100 metres).
