Mango made some new friends at the December Shiba Meetup. Typhoon is the cream color one, Sunny is the sesame color shiba.

Typhoon is also 7-month old. Mango finally met his match – both were mouthy and obnoxious pups. They were playing with each other for the most part. Good thing they kept each other company.

An aggressive shiba gave Mango a good bite on the face. The bite was just skin deep, but Mango was shocked by the attack. To shake him off from the trauma, I started running to let Mango chase after me. Mango forgot all about the attack and was having fun in no time.

Mango attended his first Shiba Inu Meetup this past Saturday at Robinswood Park in Bellevue. Before going to the Meetup, we consulted our trainer Diane of Spokes Dog. Diane scheduled our training session at Robinswood Park so we can be at the Meetup right after the puppy training.

The nice thing about being at the park early is Mango get to be there before everybody else. Upon arrival, there was one black puddle playing alone in the corral. Mango and the puddle became fast friends and started chasing and playing in no time.

Slowly and steady, more shibas showed up. At one point there were probably more than 20 shibas at the Meetup. I was quite nervous as Mango being a young pup and this is his first time meeting so many strange dogs. To my relief he wasn’t getting picked or bullied by other dogs.

We left about 30 minutes into the Meetup. Mango had a great time being off leash and surrounded by its own kind. One of the meetup attendees took this great shot of Mango. Little Mango is starting to look like a grown up shiba.
