5 Reasons Why Dogs Should Love Santa Monica

Chillin' in Santa Monica

1. A lot of dog friendly places – woof!
2. You can walk on the boardwalk and make some friends. I met another Shiba today (Mochi).
3. You can chill at the non-dog-park parks by the beach (see picture above).
4. People love dogs in Santa Monica and they’ll be nice to you ^^.
5. Your humans will have a good time too.

Shibapalooza, here I come!

Here is my lastest pic so that you can look me up if you go

OH MY WOOFNESS! Shibapalooza is almost here and I cannot wait to meet all of my twiba friends!  Not even carmageddon will stop me.  

If you want your people to take you, here is what you can share with them http://www.shibaclubofsocal.com/docs/SCSC_Picnic_Flyer.pdf

Continue brushing please, I didn't tell you to stop yet

hmmm, please keep brushing my coat.

Ah! Yes,  I 100% love when my people brush my coat – it feels sooo good.  

Peruvian Canine Fashion

My zen retreat was wonderful! My people picked me up as scheduled and have not stopped talking about their trip – maybe next time they’ll take me.  They did come back bearing gifts; apparently this little number above is the latest canine fashion in Cuzco, Peru.  They got me one in red, I’ll share some pics as soon as I try it on.  

Sleeping beauty!

I'm pretty lucky! I get to do a whole lot of this while my people are working hard for my kibble.

Great Dog Friendly Weekend Brunch Patio – Venice

Great and sunny dog friendly patio!

I am happy to report that the French Market is a Sachi friendly place.  My people are big on weekend brunches and many places – I won’t say names – won’t let me in, but not the French Market.  They are PAWesome! They even have water bowls if you need them (I never do ‘cause my people usually bring me my own portable one).  French Market gets my PAW of approval. 

Sprinkles cupcakes for dogs?

Could you take any longer peeling off that paper?

Yes! Can you believe it? Here I am, on a Sunday afternoon waiting for my people to get home and then, when they walk through the door, I see IT. There it is, I can smell it…a Sprinkles’ doggie cupcake just for ME!. Sprinkles has the most delicious cupcakes for dogs.

I also hear that my people like these flavors of the human friendly ones: strawberry, dark chocolate, red velvet, orange and key lime.

Working like a dog

Office Buddy

Well not exactly.  My mom took me to the office today and I was really excited about it.  I thought it was going to be a “bring your Shiba to the office” day but when I got there, I was the only one.  It was really awesome to be the only Shiba there since I got everyone’s attention and they all even knew my name!  I do have to mention that a couple of them decided that it might be a good idea to carry me (you know, since I look small and all), but I was not a fan.  I think I might have to start wearing a “Don’t carry me” sign next time.

I ALWAYS find space in bed ;)

I found a little nook in the middle.

My First Day at the Dog Park

Dog Park Day 1         

I am really not sure about this place yet. I kept hearing my people talking about it, about how great it was, about how I would be able to embrace my free spirited nature and run around leash free.  Well…we got there, the leash came off but I decided to play it safe and sit right next to my dad to scope it out.  There were a lot other dogs running around and one in particular who was totally fascinated by me (of course), but I’m not a let’s-get-dirty kinda gal. I think next time I might get off the bench and explore a little more. I’ll keep you all posted and make sure that my peeps take pics.

Can’t wait for my new collar to get here!

I’m soooo excited! My people just got me a new collar! I can’t wait to try it on…the collar has my favorite woodland creature: SQUIRRELS!!!!!  

I heard that they got my a martingale collar that it is supposed to be more comfortable and safe (I’m a bit of a free spirit so some times I kinda want to run away)

If you want your people to get you one, have them go here.

A little more about me before Santa Monica

I was lucky enough to have an amazing foster mom who took cake of me while my people found me. This is her blog and here she has a little more about me before I made it to Santa Monica. While I was at her home my name was Misaki (cute, right?)

My first day in my new home (2-05-2011).

Yes I know, I look like a fox :)
