Daily Dose of Cute

If you are sad, bored, frustrated, or just in need of some adorableness, check out these super cute Shiba Inu PUPPIES!! http://www.ustream.tv/sfshiba It's a live camera feed of six precious Shiba pups. Watch them and their mommy as they play, nurse, and sleep.

What is a Shiba Inu? Why, it's only the best breed of dog ever!Shibas are a Japanese breed in the non-working group. They are in the Husky and Akita family, and a lot of people say they resemble a little fox! Shiba Inu is Japanese for "small dog." They're about 1/3 the size of a husky (about 20 pounds) - perfect to cuddle up in your lap! They are extremely popular in Japan as they make great apartment dogs (they don't bark and they have a big bladder). They have a cute curly tail, soft pointy ears, and snuggly little snout that you just have to kiss! And let's not forget those melting eyes - that come in at the corners displaying their Japanese origin. (Look at the puppy below - would you not do anything he asked??)

They come in red:white:and black/tan (aww!!):This stately guy looks like my first Shiba Inu pup, Prince Edward (affectionately known as "Prince" and "Eddie"). He had the perfect markings! Whit always says they look so sophisticated. Shibas are not to be messed around with - they're to be taken very seriously. A Shiba IS the king of his household. Their demeanor is cat-like; they only come when they feel like, they clean themselves regularly, and they're quite aloof. They're easy to get along with, especially for someone who shares their independent nature, like me. They're just about the only dog Whit likes, because they don't slobber or demand constant attention. Sometimes I wish my pup would linger in my arms a little longer though...I could pet her super soft ears for much longer than she sometimes allows. I'll leave you with my favorite internet pic of a Shiba. This one has markings more like my dog, Lady. And you're welcome for all the cuteness!
