Hello,
Mango is sooooooooo gorgeous! I have 2 shiba inus myself. You can see them on my blog at http://yvonne-wong.com/blog. I found your blog because I was visiting Leslie Engen, and she told us about you guys. I know random, right? But we just had to look up this cute shiba she was telling us about and found your blog. My boy shiba is from Leslie too, and his daddy is Taro.
I occasionally encounter the “Stranger! Danger!” problem with my shibas. Most of the time, they are very friendly towards guests that are coming over. The only times I’ve noticed that they are more defensive and growly is when the guest is male and taller. We used to bring our shibas to the meet-ups, but haven’t for a couple of years because they started to become dog aggressive. I think we’re going to have to start re-training them again. It’s really my fault because I’m such a “protective mommy,” and I don’t socialize them enough. Hahaha…
Well, I just wanted to say hi. I’ll stop by again later!
Cheers,
Yvonne
Hi Yvonne!
I’m so glade you found my blog. I enjoy meeting other shiba owners. And meeting another family with Leslie’s shibas makes it even more special. Your shibas are incredible. I adored Taro the minute I met him. I can certainly see Taro’s signature teddy bear face in one of your shibas.
When we decided to get a puppy from Leslie, I requested to have one of Taro’s offspring. I guess the timing was not right. Leslie suggested a puppy from one of Taro’s daughters instead. That’s how we ended up with Mango.
I too am the “protective mommy” type. It’s hard not to when Mango is equivalent of a child in our home. ☺
Stop by to say hi anytime! Thank you for sharing your blog. I’m sure I’ll be popping in from time to time to enjoy the beautiful photographs.
Happy Monday,
Janet
