Lack of sleep

Kyle is 4 months old today. Soba has not gotten use to our daily routine of getting up at 5am. This is what he looked like at 9:30 am this morning. He got so tired that he fell asleep next to Wade while Wade was having breakfast. Poor shiba!

Beggar

Soba has perfected his begging skills. He looks at you and then at the food. If you don't pay attention, he lets out a big sigh so you would look at him. One good thing is that he would never go after the food without your permission.

Retrieving his toy

Accidently threw the toy and it got stuck on the railing. That didn't seem to bother Sobes. He got it anyways!

Soba and little kids

My brother and his family came to visit. I was a little nervous as to how Soba would be with little kids. He hangs out with our neighbors' kids outside with no problems, but he tends to be territorial when it comes to his house. So, I wasn't sure what to expect.

When they first came in, we had Soba on his leash until he calms down which didn't take long. I was so proud of him. He was very mellow and just followed us around. I introduced Andrew (my nephew) to Soba. They played fetch inside for a while then I showed Andrew how to feed Andrew some snacks. Andrew really liked Soba.

I shouldn't be surprised, but Soba did follow them around and stayed close ESPECIALLY when they are snacking. He was waiting for food to drop from their little hand to the ground so he can feast!

We took some pictures of Andrew interacting with Soba below.
