Mikey is really a friend of Maron's. But sometimes the other dogs seem to wanna teach her some manners: curb your enthusiasm. It looked like he wanted to kill her but he's seems fairly harmless. The big white Akita pup has started to try and teach her some manners too, sometimes there a short, sharp bark and a head grab among the teeth....

This Schnauzer(?) was good with Maron too. It's hard to get good photo while dealing with tangled leads and making sure Maron doesn't get pregrnant. The male Schnauzer wasn't neutered which might partly explain why he was so tolerant of Maron's enthusiasm... The had some good upright hugs but the camera was never set up right... I should always have it on the motion sports setting when I go out for Maron's walks..

Maron looks cool when she stands up to see things. I read somewhere that Shiba dogs are curious about everything. I still haven't gotten decent photos of some of her more interesting stances but these photos came out ok while I tried.

Dog hugs! This great Akita pup two corners away is one of the two dogs than can return (enjoy, appreciate) Maron's enthusiasm. It would be great to see these two in a dog run or someplace they could be off the lead. It's a lot of work to keep their leads from tangling. This morning Maron got Mana's leg wrapped in our leash and we ended up pulling the leg out from under her and the poor little bear was down on the pavement for a bit. It didn't seem to bother anyone but still. You'd think Maron would be nervous you can barely see her under Mana but it's not a smothering sort of thing, it's all joyous, vivacious romping.

I have to remember to put the tough little digital camera into sports setting to get pictures of these two, Maron and Mana, in action the next time.

Maron had never gone into the river water like this before. She seems to be getting a lot more confident with herself.

She doesn't seem goofy very often so the occasion required close-up photos.

Shiba dogs, or Maron, can be goofy too. She doesn't seem to do this very often but she was belly-up relaxing on a really nice Sunny Spring Sunday.

Nice lazy spring Sunday. Maron seemed to enjoy laying around while I started re-stacking the firewood while splitting the some of the bigger pieces too. She's good about not getting anxious to go on a walk. Later we went to the park and she ran around with some kids. We met some nice families.

There might be someone who just can't get enough of Maron the Shiba dog trying to sleep while being interrupted by photo shoots. This is the end of it. I promise.

Maron has started sleeping inside as of last week. It's cold out, and her menstruation is over... Hopefully she'll handle going back outside during her next period, it's a lot of trouble to deal with doggie diapers. She's a bit hyper inside but she's been handling it pretty well, hasn't peed or pooped inside.. And she eventually settles down onto her bed-cushion (or the couch) when we start paying attention to our screens or the fire.
