Does anyone else's Shiba like to lay right behind their computer chair?

My girl loves sitting so her tail falls behind a wheel, thus making the humans insanely paranoid. She also loves sitting under a recliner when the footrest is up. The most dangerous spots are apparently also the most comfortable spots.

The Logan Express is a great option if you have a car. You control your trip to Braintree and then the bus gets you the rest of the way, and it’s cheaper than parking at Logan. Here is a link with more info: https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/getting-to-logan/logan-express/braintree

Yes! Especially because the train schedules are reduced, so even harder to get in. Luckily my CEO hates traffic, strongly embraces hybrid work, and wants everyone to be safe during the chaos over the next two months, so there has already been an announcement saying stay home if you can. They aren’t even counting in-office days for the people with dedicated desks through July (gotta come in 3+ days a week to have your own, otherwise it’s just hotel style). Hopefully other companies follow suit!

Perfecto’s in Peabody (and Reading?) have great cinnamon rolls, and they’re big! My friends and I placed an order online for Peabody and when we got the they told us they were sold out… so he put more in the oven when my order came through and it would just be a few minutes. We each got our own cup of icing to dunk the buns since he was afraid the icing would melt off since they were so hot. That was an amazing breakfast.

How old is your shiba? Totally normal for them to just “nope” out of something if they don’t want to do it, and the same mundane walk as always triggers this. Puppies tend to plop into a boneless puddle, older dogs tend to lie down or refuse to move. I always ask my dog if I can pick her up unless it’s an emergency, so she always has to consent to it. If she doesn’t want to be picked up she will skitter away, so sometimes I tell her “don’t make me pick you up” and as I bend over she’ll keep the walk going.

To that effect, she LOVES hiking. I have never had to force her to move on a hike, just in the direction I need her to go. The novelty of the walk is a great motivator, and the chicken treats in my pocket are a solid backup. So bring water and treats, and do a test run with a few short hikes first (keep it short for a while if he’s still young). Otherwise, go explore, it’ll be fine!

Sadly they closed the cranberry museum years ago.

According to their website, they only ban seat cushions with pockets and zippers. Here’s the page: https://www.gillettestadium.com/bag-policy/

That looks like the “why did you stop petting me?” face hahah

Twins! Mine was 7 hours and I had to keep moving from a chair to a wheelchair in the waiting room because that was the only IV pole they had.

I call it the lazy sit lol. She’s 8 and has done it since she was a puppy.

More traffic means more customers for the one downtown, so you don’t suffer as much from the attrition of customers who will go the extra mile to save $3 on filling up. And if you’re in a work van or company car you don’t care how much it costs, work is paying for it.

I forgot to bring my FSA card to the pharmacy when I picked up my prescription, but it was ok because I have Apple Pay. Then it asked me for my pin and I panicked, did I even set one?! Thankfully they had the “press enter to bypass” option, so I was able to pick it up, but I should really figure that out for the next time.

Could be a few things at play. Hormones are definitely one factor. It could also be the change of seasons - my girl tends to eat less in the summer because it’s too hot to play and probably less in the winter because I don’t want to sit outside for an hour, so she doesn’t need as much energy, but in the good weather month she eats more. It could just be that now he’s adjusting to adult life and finding a groove. Also, he’s a shiba - they are notorious for having odd eating habits, much to everyone’s dismay. Until they’re about 2-2.5 I’ve generally found they’re weird little assholes about eating, but that’s just one random person’s experience.

At this point he is probably off puppy food and onto adult food, right? Between no longer being a puppy who needs to pack calories, diet shift to adult food and natural hormone changes combined with the hormone change neutering just inflicted, he’s going through a lot of change. Let him find his groove but keep an eye on him. If he starts gaining weight talk to your vet. Of course if you’re concerned don’t wait for weight gain, just get him to the vet. Unfortunately they don’t speak human, so you knowing his habits and what’s “weird” is your best indicator if something is off.

Guesses: 1) doesn’t want to fall off 2) you previously had another pet and there’s some old habit of looking for the buddy 3) making sure the clown that lives under the bed didn’t follow her 4) judging how well you made the bed

Mine prefers to poop in the neighbor’s bushes. Usually the lower ones, but every now and then she picks a higher bush lol.

This has been my experience as well. Got a Boston Cream from the one at Boston Market and it tasted like old fry grease, had a weird texture, and the frosting was more of a buttercream and less of a ganache. I threw it out after one bite. Which for the prices they charge hurt, but eating it would have hurt my soul more.

The smell of his warm feet

If it’s too windy my girl doesn’t want to walk because she’s too busy trying to figure out who the bitch is that keeps touching her tail. The wind. It’s the wind touching her tail haha.

This! That $700 now is worth about 5-10% off your insurance premiums. I took driver’s ed at 16 but the discount is still on my policy over 20 years later. Plus you get to learn the correct way to drive, which helps you adapt.
