Hi Everyone

The past few days we’ve been fortunate to have some very special visitors at the shop.  The cuteness factor has been on high!

First, these two lovely ladies made a visit and charmed everyone:

They really put on a show:

Friday brought the arrival of Yoshi:

Yoshi is Melissa Morgan-Oakes’ new pup.  He’s a Shiba Inu and is 16 weeks old.  He’s not only handsome but he’s wicked smart.  I love this breed for many reasons but mainly because they have that big dog look and the self-esteem to go with it but in a mid-size dog body.  Our neighbors adopted a Shiba Inu pup last summer.  So when MMO was lamenting on email to me a few weeks ago about wanting a dog, but not necessarily a puppy, I sent her a link to a page FULL of Shiba Inus.

Next thing I know she’s talking with breeders and making plans.  Then WHAM! Yoshi is here.

He’s awesome and the best nephew-pup an Auntie could ask for.  He’s already overachieving in learning commands and is sure to graduate at the top of his class.  Look at how awesome he is:

The only problem is we can’t let Freddie, the cat-in-residence know we are lovin’ us some Yoshi puppy.  Freddie will be less than pleased.

Lastly on the cuteness train is this:

You have seen plenty of shots of J1 in his goalie gear but this my dear readers is not an old shot of J1.

This is J2.  He’s played goalie a couple of times here and there and has really been pushing his coach to let him back in the net.  The coach agreed and is now in the proverbial dog house here at home.  I cannot handle watching two goalies – it’s just too much stress.  Unfortunately the other three members of this family don’t seem to understand.

I wonder what visitors next week will bring?
