Yesterday, it started snowing so I took Pong out to the porch to check out the snow.
Bugged-eye pong
Then after a tiring vet visit (will post about it in a new post), we headed to the dog park at 7pm.
Rolling a snow ball
Eating the snowball..
She ran away from me when we were heading back to the car after the dog park. She ran and ran and ran… but always kept me in sight. I knew she would come back eventually so I just waited. After another car with 3 dogs came, I decided it was time to chase her back to the dog park and get her from there. After much taunting she went in the dog park and the 3 dogs came out. She went up and down the fence like a nut.. and then pooped out after a good 10 minutes of running. She stared at me like ‘uh, mom. HOME. NOW.’
sigh..shibas.
Say you have to wake up at an early hour of 8am and you have grown immune to all the ringtones you’ve set on your phone as an alarm. Pong has come up with a way to resolve that problem!
Step 1: Have your dog pretend to like snuggling near you.
If you haven’t gotten up yet to exclaim at the rare occurrence, continue on to..
Step 2: Telepathically tell your dog to sit.
If you still can’t get up despite realizing your dog can HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS AND ACTUALLY OBEY THEM..
Step 3: Have them sit on your face.
Most of the time you will have the fortunate luck of your face in the same direction where your dog is and be able to get up when a big fat furball is clogging up your breathing passage. Though as you can tell in this picture, the human has gotten smart and sleeps facing the other way.
If all else fails, just tell your dog to sigh a lot and crawl up next to you and hog all the pillow.
If that pitiful-make-me-some-yummy-human-food-now look doesn’t get ya, think of how late you will be to work/school when your shiba decides to take her/his sweet ol’ time finding a poopy spot. 
So Pong’s been staying with me at the apartment the past few weeks. Though it gets pretty annoying at night where she barks at every sound like door creaking, tree limbs scraping against the house, etc. But it’s nice to have a warm body that nudges into you in the most awkward position to sleep in.
My housemates loveeee her.. except during meal time, which can occur anytime from 12pm to 4am in the morning. She’s getting pretty good at stealing food and taking licks at what’s on your plate. Fortunately, nobody is germaphobic and tend to keep eating along with the dog hair that is usually found in the food anyways.
We did have a doggy playdate with 1 pomeranion, 1 chiuawawa, and 2 other shibas. A total of 5 dogs in a house… imagine the amount of butt sniffing and ball icking had occured.. It was fun though, watching the 3 shibas ignoring each other and going after the smaller dogs.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures at the moment but I’ll put them up later..
Here are some pictures of the dogs.. uh, being in the same room:
all the dogs together.. sort of.
the pom and the chihuahua. Can you tell who’s who?
Here are they together again, ignoring each other.
There are more pictures in the Doggies Play Date gallery for your viewing pleasure
1. Cover her up with a blanket while she’s trying to sleep.
2. ignore her puppy eyes and snap away.
3. Take more pictures of her escaping.
Pong finally got spayed today. We got to Banfield Hospital in Woodbridge around 8:20am (yes I overslept) and she was escorted to the back. I went to work and called them around 1pm as instructed and they said she would be ready within an hour. So I took my time getting there and shopped around. Got her a freaking 16 dollar toy that she didn’t even touch in the car. I guess she was pretty tired even though she surfed occasionally on the way home.
As you can see, she was pooped out. You can kinda see her stitches..
Hehe. Her butt is in the air because I don’t think it’s very comfortable for her to lie down..
*sigh..*
she went to hide in her corner.
her butt is still up. lol.
lookin pretty pathetic.
She’s supposed to take pain killers twice a day starting tomorrow. Also, we’re gonna go back and see the vet in 10-14 days. Eef. she’s making noises. Gonna go see what’s up..
okay. She just had to pee.. took her out and she immediately sits down instead of peeing. She refused to go back in until i pretended i was gonna get to the front door first.
So here’s the 16 dollar toy:
It makes this longgggg squeaky noise that will annoy the hell out of you if you aren’t the one squeaking it. hehe.
another pathetic attempt at getting comfortable..
