Face of an angel

This is by far my favorite look of Ava's.  We call it "the vampire" look.  It's a look that use to scare me but most of the time she's very happy when she shows it. 

I think she's getting a belly rub from my sister, her frenemy.  More on that topic to come.

Another "friend" loses an eye

I was doing something on my computer when I looked down to see Ava sitting with her hedgehog Prickles (Her 2nd by the way.  The first departed long ago with both eyes gone).  Well unfortunately for Prickles, he too has lost an eye but just the one so he can be saved.

Warning: do not buy toys made for children for your pets.

Meet Ava

So my mom suggested I make this blog about my dog Ava and I decided why not.  Just who is Ava?  She is my 1 year and 6 month old Shiba Inu puppy/dog.  Her birthday is on Christmas Eve.  When my bf and I went to get her for the very first time, we got to the door and when it was opened, she was there trying to run away.  First sign of rebelliousness.  I fell in love with the breed babysitting my sister's friend's friend's Shiba Inu.  It was a total surprise to get her and while it's been tough raising her, I wouldn't trade her for anything.  She is a definite Shiba Inu- cat like, shiba 500, shiba scream, etc.  You name it she has all the qualities.  She is a cuddler but on her terms only. 

And here she is....

I hope to be able to share stories of the past and also present/future funny stories along the way.  She is a character and I want to be able to share her with you.
