Kotaro’s Regular Park

With summer finished for this year the weather’s become much more pleasant, and Kotaro always looks like he thinks he should be running around outside. :D Kotaro often plays in the park near the JSHOPPERS head office after lunch, and today we’re going to tell you about that park.

 

One of the JSHOPPERS staff is about to play on the slide, and Kotaro would like to too.

(Kotaro: I want to play on the slide too!)

But he can’t, so he resigns himself to just glaring balefully.

(Kotaro: I wanted to slide…)

But he’s still excited, so he ends up waiting at the end of the slide anyway.

(Kotaro: Come on, come on!)

The game he likes most recently is Fetch: running to get a stick that someone has thrown. He keeps looking at us when we take him to the park, trying to get us to play.

(Kotaro: Let’s play Fetch! I like Fetch!)

We give it a throw, and Kotaro races to get it! :D

What a smart boy!

…Except that he doesn’t give the stick back. He just keeps it for himself.

His other favorite game is to dig holes.

(Kotaro dug these.) 

He digs these holes with undivided attention.

Sometimes he leaves off after just making a shallow impression, but other times the holes he digs are quite deep.

Kotaro! You’re disappearing down there!

Today you had a lot of fun, eh Kotaro? Your tongue’s covered in dirt, but you look happy. ;)

(Kotaro: Ahhh… I enjoyed that.)

Average Weight of a Shiba

As we enter fall and the weather gets cooler, everyone’s appetite starts to increase–and that includes Kotaro! This is the season where we have to be careful, because eating to much = getting fat. :D

Now, at one year and three months old, Kotaro’s weight is stable at around 10-11kg. The Japanese Dog Preservation Association, which sets standards for Japanese dogs, suggests that the standard weight for an adult male Shiba is 9-11kg, so it’s good to know that he’s grown as expected.

Here’s Kotaro back in the days when he looked like a soft toy (two months old):

And here’s the fine canine he’s grown into!

But there are some things that don’t change no matter how big he gets. For example, this interesting way of sleeping! :D

And the way we sometimes find him squished into the tightest of corners.

And the way he puts his head on his paw… It almost looks like he’s sulking.

And he still loves to play tug-of-war!

Hmm, maybe he hasn’t grown up so much after all. ;)
He’s still our cute little dog.
