Ask a shiba.

Some news! Would you be interested in a Shibal Inu book? I feel it's about time a book is in order, don't you? But- I wanna make an awesome book and would like to include my super cool readers in the process.
I'd like to start a new segment: "Ask A Shiba", sort of like "Ask Delilah", except there will be three Shiba Inus here to answer life's tough questions.
What is the meaning of life? (Simple: Be an opportunistic eater, sleeper and exerciser but poop where and when you feel comfortable most). How is the best way to remove wine out of carpet? (Duh. Lick it.)

Do you have a question that needs answering? Would you like to seek the advice of three qualified Shibas?
Email us: shibal.inus@gmail.com (with subject line: Question for *insert Kit, Betsy or Natto*)
Tweet us: @Our_Shibal_Inu
FB us: https://www.facebook.com/our.shibal.inu

Please note, questions and answers may be edited and included in upcoming Shibal Inu book. Will make sure to seek permissions during compilations.

Kit, Betsy and Natto are ready to take your call.

After I got back from my trip to Hawaii last summer, I decided to teach myself the ukulele. Kit was not happy to be introduced to my ukulele. In fact, he was afraid of it!


Are your dogs afraid of strange things?

Howliday Recap

Happy New Year everybody! Apologies for my lack of updates. Here's a little recap before kickin' off the year with new web comics.
Last month, Kit and Betsy received and opened their Secret Shiba presents:

Super thanks to Sumo and dearly departed Kicho. Sending shiba hugs to your awesome human!

I also left them presents to open for Christmas while I was away in Korea visiting Natto:


Now here's to looking forward to more Shibal Inu antics!

There have been lots of requests for 2012 Our Shibal Inu calendars. Bad news is, I wasn't able to have time to come up with one. Good news is, Kit landed himself the cover of NYC Shiba Rescue's 2012 calendar! You can order this great calendar featuring shiba inus who have found fantastic forever homes. Proceeds go towards funding the rescue. I ordered two :) The year is almost over! Get ready with the NYCSR 2012 calendar!



Is your shiba in this calendar too? Holla to all the other NYCSR alums!

happy turkey day!

Last month, I dog-sat Kit and Betsy for a whole week while Rain was in Hawaii. Kit is a fantastic alarm clock making sure I was up in time to feed him before work.

At 5am, I'd see Batman's silhouette popping up from the edge of the bed.
"Awake yet? No?"

And then again at 6am.
"How about now?"

And again at 7am.
"Now?"
