Pretty Nicky

We haven't been on this blog in a LONG time, and thought it was overdue for a pretty Nicky update. Here he is looking like a doll.
We love our little Nicky! xoxox

The 'Meanie' Face

This is a progression of the faces Nicky makes when you are invading his territory. In this case, he was resting and did not want to be disturbed.
This ugly face, known as the 'meanie' face in our home, makes Nicky look like a hyena. It's simply the ugliest face we've ever seen one of our dogs make.
We know we shouldn't tease him, but luckily he just makes this face and doesn't cause any harm (not yet, anyway). The Dog Whisperer would not be pleased if he saw this.

A while ago we put together a collage of all of the things Nicky ruined (and all of which needed to be repaired or replaced!).
Here's a small sample of Nicky's handy work. Luckily, now that he's older, he's out-grown most of those bad habits!

Possesive Nicky

As you can see, Nicky thinks he owns everything. This is a typical scene at home.

Nicky vs. Clarice from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

For some strange reason, Nicky has an issue with Clarice. We're not sure whether it's the singing or the animated head, or whether he has a strange attraction to her, but Nicky definitely reacts to Clarice's presence.
Here's one video from a string of Nicky vs. Clarice activity. There are a few more videos, but they came out so dark!

P.S. - that's toilet paper on the floor that Nicky happened to leave in the hallway.

We couldn't resist posting these pictures of Nicky sleeping. He's about 3 months old (we think) in these pictures, judging by his puppy looks. He looks like such a little angel!

The Dogs Go Traveling!

Nicky and Chickie take a quick trip to Paris!

Here are a couple of pics from their exciting adventure!

A Nicky-Inspired HAIKU

This Haiku was written by contributing writer (and Nicky's Godfather) Dave Ryan:

Fun Shiba Inu Gifts

We discovered a great site that has some wonderful Shiba Inu merchandise!
Check out Obey the Purebreed.com

All of the images shown here are from the "Obey" site, and we purchased an "Obey the Shiba Inu" propaganda poster for Nicky as a Christmas gift. He has yet to thank us.

You can order any of these images on t-shirts, mugs, posters, sweatshirts...you name it!

We really had a good laugh finding these products.

Happy shopping!

A Rare Moment

Nicky and Chickie share a peaceful moment.

Typically Nicky spends his time with Chickie biting her neck, knocking her over and taunting her...and the odd thing is that Chickie sometimes appears to enjoy his dysfunctional attention.
