The Misanthropic Shiba

WARNING: the above contains a police report which is quite detailed.

“I know this looks really bad, but the dog bites.  He’s aggressive.”

I can’t imagine why he would be aggressive, you fucking pathetic bitch.  What I wouldn’t give for 20-30 minutes with you and a roll of duct tape.

Further information on Rex’s situation

“Humane Society CEO Lisa Pedersen said Rex is actually closer to 2 years old rather than the eight months Toll had told police.

She said the dog is not in the friendliest of moods but is doing well physically. Rex skittishly accepted treats Wednesday from a staffer at the Humane Society, letting out a warning bark every now and then.

“He’s not easy to handle right now,” Pedersen said. “It’s really sad. It’s not his fault.”

The Humane Society will keep both dogs until their owners’ legal cases are resolved, Pedersen said.”

What's that, Julie? A cache is under a rock?

With the improvement in the weather, Tierce and I have been sallying forth and going geocaching.  Geocaching is an awesome hobby for Shibas, requiring only a GPS unit and an owner with a leash.  We’ve been out and about a fair amount, including up in Courtenay, where the city is just riddled with the things.

Tierce is pretty good about the geocaching, but when one wants to be subtle and not advertise that there’s a cache out there, a purebred Shiba isn’t the best dog to take along.

“What kind of dog is that?”

“It’s sooo cute!”

and, of course,

“It looks like a little fox!”

Tierce, being the modern dog he is, has a social life!  Find him on:

I am so ashamed of myself!  How could I let 2 days go by without marking Tierce’s birthday?!  Tierce was born on March 30, 2007.  He has been in my household nearly 2 years.

Happy Birthday, Tierce!
