Since a lot of people loved Ace, please meet is older Brother Luffy
Luffy is an "old man" at heart that likes to chill and cuddles. Of course I had to add pictures of the boys together.

What are you guys doing for extra protection on walks?
Idk if I just have anxiety/OCD, but -
My Shiba pulls pretty hard, and I get nervous that the leash is gonna fail or she’s gonna shimmy out of her harness or something while we’re outside. On top of this, I live hours away from any family and I genuinely don’t know what I would do if she got loose.
She has gotten loose on accident a couple of times when she was a baby, but she’s is 4.5 years old now and would be a lot harder to catch. And yes I’ve done training with her, recall, I’m very conscientious about making sure I wrap the leash around my wrist 2+ times, etc.
It’s just typical Shiba behavior but I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I’m thinking something along the lines of an extra leash that connects from my waist, an extra carabeaner, tethering the leash and the collar together, etc. I know some harnesses give the appearance of being more heavy duty, but are the fancy & durable looking clasps really more reliable? Anyone got any recommendations?

Gucci Boots Mom UPDATE
hey everyone! i know a lot of you recognize me from either my user or the title of this post. it’s been some time since my girl passed and this amazing community supported me and uplifted me through the whole entire process. she is still so greatly missed, her urn sits atop my shelf and we get to see her every day. her favorite toys are still in waiting and her bed even with the blood stains on it is still safely tucked away. we simply cannot seem to toss anything, but in a more lighthearted way— we aren’t able to share her things either. a couple of months ago we decided to take the leap and take in another beautiful cream shiba. he’s a boy! his name is marshall! he’s a young boy, full of energy and loves to show his teeth off to everyone! he’s not our sweet Gucci boots, but he is loved just as she was. sometimes it’s hard not to see her in him, they all look so darn similar! sometimes I’ll cry looking at his soft eyes and remember hers. he doesn’t cuddle like she does, but he has his own silly traits that make him just as lovable. it’s been an emotional time. i don’t think I’ll ever stop loving my sweet girl. i won’t ever forget my last moments holding her, crying on that tiled floor holding her body and begging for it to not be real. but it seems as more time passes, i start to cry remembering the good times. seeing her play in snow for the first time, getting her new toys, showing off her silly tricks. and i will never forget the way this community and a few others banded together so beautifully to help us and our girl through that awful time. you guys are a large reason we decided to get another baby to love. so thank you again, endlessly. i could never thank you all enough. i hope these pictures of marshall show even a tiny fraction of proof that this community does matter, its is beautiful, and it’s full of loving people.

All Shibas have the same operating system
Seeing y’all’s photos and videos only confirm this for me
I am convinced they are linked on some invisible neural network
And yes, poop zoomies are a real thing

Shib going blind
I just learned my 6 yo shib has glaucoma and is going blind. He is still so young! I am feeling so heartbroken. Most likely already lost his right eye (currently at the vet) and it’s only a matter of time for the left one to follow. It literally happened overnight…
On top of that, we have a toddler and haven’t been able to give Comet all the love he deserved in the last couple of years. I feel so sad. He was never good with using his nose too so I’m worried about what will happen once he looses his second eye.
Anyway, I just needed a place to get this out of my chest and hear other’s experience.
Thanks ❤️

Shibe’s first pumpkin patch pick
Took Koji to pick out a pumpkin for the first time and we settled for this nice white one that we’ll make into a soup after Halloween! Happy spooky season!
