Shiba on Shiba action

by Meg on December 2, 2008

As if you needed ANY PROOF that EVERYONE is obsessed with the Shiba Inu puppeh cam, here is Boomer (who also happens to be a Shiba Inu) checking out the frolicking puppehs.

sleeping that is what they are up to. As usual

2 Annie 12.02.08 at 10:01 pm

See how I neatly side step the ennuendoh.

3 Lisa (one of several) 12.02.08 at 10:10 pm

I haven’t checked out the puppies for awhile, and what are they doing when I take a new look??? Sleeping of course! But they are HUGE!

4 Mary (the first) 12.02.08 at 10:17 pm

Am I the ONLY person on earth not obsessed with shiba inu puppehs? What is so cute? What? I don’t see .. welll .. hmm.. they are a bit entrancing after awhile, aren’t they… OMGPUPPEEHS!!

5 Erebella 12.02.08 at 10:25 pm

When I saw the title of the post I was like, “Oh dear, do I really wanna look?” And then, “Oh, okay, that’s funny!” Cuz you never know around this place…..

6 Erebella 12.02.08 at 10:26 pm

This place is like a box of chocolates….with a lot of fur in it, and sometimes feathers, and sometimes it’s hard to tell.

7 the other Brenda 12.02.08 at 10:28 pm

Itchy middle pup wakes up everyone else.

8 Debbie 12.02.08 at 10:31 pm

Sleeping? Well, I guess I’m lucky, I got here just in time to see lots of scratching and shaking and wiggling, a little running, and lots of little tails wagging! Cuteness!!

9 Gail (the first one) 12.02.08 at 10:33 pm

Is this “Boomer” of “Boomer’s Babysitter” fame?????

SOOOOO cute!!

10 lurkingsmirk 12.02.08 at 10:34 pm

Wonder if he is also thinking AWWWW.

11 Annie 12.02.08 at 10:35 pm

OMG they are up and frolicking

gets entranced with the cute… forgets to work… Awww and little puppy whines and fusses. awwwwww!!!!!!!

12 Birdcage 12.02.08 at 10:45 pm

There’s a full-out shiba inu WAR going on now. A puppeh war!!!!

13 Jer 12.02.08 at 10:48 pm

They’re all having a massive free-for-all brawl right now…I wish I had that much energy.

14 Capt' Tightpants 12.02.08 at 10:59 pm

I swear to god one of them is chasing its tail in circles.

I have now seen everything.

15 Nita 12.02.08 at 11:02 pm

FIGHT! FIGHT!

16 auntyb 12.02.08 at 11:04 pm

I see a fluffolicious swirling pile of teef and tailios!

17 auntsugar 12.02.08 at 11:08 pm

Seems they are out to destroy the bed before they leave! Sounds like a bunch of crabby old women at times..

18 Katie 12.02.08 at 11:10 pm

As much as I wuv the fwuffy wuffy pwuppies… my grades are going to skyrocket when they go off air.

I suspect the stock market will rebound, too. They’ve all been ooohing over puppies and letting the world financial market slide into the drain.

But I’ll miss the tails….

19 Decca 12.02.08 at 11:10 pm

Yeah, there’s some fighting going on. It’s just like when my family gets together, only these guys are cute, everyone likes having them around, and they never bring up the dreaded “road trip of 1972″ incident.

20 Theo 12.02.08 at 11:13 pm

LOL, Katie. Hang on, I’ll get Bernanke on the line…

21 auntyb 12.02.08 at 11:16 pm

ok..you were clean five minutes ago, now you’re just on vacation!….(stewie to brian)

22 doodlebug 12.02.08 at 11:21 pm

To the owners of the puppehs:
Please please for the love of GOD!! BUY ANOTHER PINK FUZZY THING BEFORE THEY KILL EACH OTHER OVER IT!!!!
BUY EIGHT OF THEM!!! NOW!!!!

23 chanpon 12.02.08 at 11:23 pm

“Yes, my children…this is (Shiba) god.” I can just imagine Boomer messing with their little heads that way.

Have I just been lucky, or are the pups really growing up? Yeah, they still sleep a lot, but not as much as a few weeks ago. Pups have been way more active and playful the last 1.5 weeks.

24 Al 12.02.08 at 11:25 pm

OMG i caught them at feeding time!

/die

25 marmar 12.02.08 at 11:31 pm

they’re getting so BIG!

26 sunnymum 12.02.08 at 11:32 pm

Oh noes, not the shiba cam again! Cannot stay away from this thing when it’s on CO! Boomer’s prolly thinking “those were the days!”

27 berthaservant 12.02.08 at 11:33 pm

Now they are leecking human legs and sniffing a human butt…

28 sunnymum 12.02.08 at 11:35 pm

Ok, why is a person standing there and not petting the puppies?

29 sunnymum 12.02.08 at 11:36 pm

Is that a mannequin?

30 Decca 12.02.08 at 11:36 pm

OK, someone’s getting their legs licked by about four pups at once…no fair! She has all those pups and we have none! If you don’t bring enough to share then you shouldn’t bring any, young lady!

31 kestrien 12.02.08 at 11:41 pm

I WANT TO BE THAT LADY! The puppy that hurled himself on her, and their little grunts – so cute!

32 sunnymum 12.02.08 at 11:41 pm

Nope, not a mannequin. It would be literally impossible for me to be around these puppies and not reach down and pet them. Six Shiba Inu puppers, all begging for attention… Heaven, I’m in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak…

33 sunnymum 12.02.08 at 11:43 pm

That’s better… lot’s and lot’s of petting and holding. Can you say Squirmy McSquirmersons? Or how about… teething? I knew you could!

34 whitty 12.02.08 at 11:46 pm

My puppies like to watch the shiba puppies too!

35 warrior rabbit 12.02.08 at 11:49 pm

Mrs. Hands was just in there a while, in a puppy maelstrom, but she just left. Now, back to bed tearing.

When I looked this morning, four were sleeping and two were just chasing each other all over the place.

I, too, will miss the cam. I guess the puppies will be leaving this weekend. :(

36 renee in tx 12.02.08 at 11:58 pm

totally outdoors…

37 Aimz 12.03.08 at 12:02 am

LOL, it’s a puppy tornado right now!

38 warrior rabbit 12.03.08 at 12:06 am

Inside. No, outside. No, inside. No, outside!

High-speed doggie door exiting! Wow.

39 Aimz 12.03.08 at 12:08 am

OH NO! One of them has their collar stuck in it’s mouth! I want to help him/her!!!

40 Aimz 12.03.08 at 12:10 am

I can’t quit watching now… someone needs to HELP THE PUPPY!!!

41 dustbunny7 12.03.08 at 12:10 am

I’ve been watching the pup with the yellow collar for a bit now. Poor thing has it caught in its mouth. Where is the human?

42 Chris W 12.03.08 at 12:11 am

Can someone for pitty sake get that collar out of the pups mouth!!!!!!!

43 Punkster 12.03.08 at 12:16 am

I saw a great bumper sticker the other day: “Your honor student is a mere pawn in my shiba inu’s world domination plot.”

44 Dustbunny7 12.03.08 at 12:16 am

Okay this is really getting upsetting. Why is that poor puppy struggling with the collar in its mouth? Isn’t there a human around??

The pup can’t eat or drink! The other dogs are picking on it.

45 Daria 12.03.08 at 12:21 am

The other pup tries to help :p

46 Daria 12.03.08 at 12:23 am

Awww, the other puppy got the collar out of his mouth and now he tries to put it back there :P

47 Aimz 12.03.08 at 12:26 am

Oh good it’s out finally *phew*.. I can now go back to my life, lol.

48 Chris W 12.03.08 at 12:35 am

Looks like the human took the collar off.

49 Chris W 12.03.08 at 12:40 am

They really like to wrestle!!!

50 Boomer's Babysitter 12.03.08 at 12:47 am

@Gail (the first one): No, sorry, the Boomer I babysit is a Bichon. These guys are cute, though!! When I looked at it, two were tugging war on a little squeaky toy, and a third was playing referee with another toy in its mouth (the prize for the loser?), bonking the battlers about the heads. BTW, “my” Boomer is having setbacks since his tendon repair surgery. He doesn’t know the meaning of “rest,” so he does his walks on three legs, as fast as he can go. But, but… if he doesn’t use the repaired leg, it won’t heal properly – yet he doesn’t seem to have a “slow” mode. *sigh*

51 nismo 12.03.08 at 1:03 am

Puppies

52 Pyro 12.03.08 at 3:21 am

Holy cow those things are growing fast. It seems they’ve tripled in size just over thanksgiving break

53 Trisha 12.03.08 at 3:55 am

OMG they are all going crazy right now!! Do puppies get the night time crazies like kitties do?

54 Becca 12.03.08 at 3:58 am

Holy cow! Those puppies are going nutso! When they run they are just blurs!!!

55 FredZeCloud 12.03.08 at 3:58 am

Wow ze puppehs has gottens big.

Haha they turn into blurs as they dash around after each other. Or their talios XD

56 Reutte 12.03.08 at 5:25 am

Pupinos!!!

57 Rooanne 12.03.08 at 5:37 am

*sigh*

Sleeping. It figures.

Hey I have the same monitor!

58 claudia 12.03.08 at 7:02 am

LOL they are trying to pull off the owners Halloween PJ bottoms! They sure have grown…

And pup watching the puppy cam is also too cute

59 Marie 12.03.08 at 7:18 am

I haven’t been watching. Can anyone tell me if they’re potty trained? It looks sparkling clean there. Geez, I’m impressed.

60 Jed 12.03.08 at 7:29 am

I felt so bad because 2 of the pups were in one of the crates and couldn’t play with the others. They kept pawing at them through the bars and seemed desperate to get out.

…Then I realized the door to the crate was wide open. Puppies are goofy!

61 Barbarella von Fluffenstein 12.03.08 at 10:25 am

Hahah! I first thought that was a CAT, a ginger tomcat! :D

62 Katrina 12.03.08 at 11:37 am

The puppy cam is off right now. I guess they are argumentative by nature, even with each other!

63 Gail (the first one) 12.03.08 at 11:52 am

@Boomer’s Babysitter: Aww, I thought we were seeing YOUR Boomer in all his glory!! Yes, that must be tough trying to get him to use all 4 feetsies—hope he is better soon!!!

64 Theresa 12.03.08 at 12:08 pm

I can’t help thinking those glasses on the desk belong to the shiba.

65 Katrina 12.03.08 at 2:48 pm

Theresa-she just got contacts and she isn’t too sure how long she can keep them in, so she brought her glasses just in case. One smart cookie, that Shiba.

66 Annie 12.03.08 at 4:06 pm

Okay so I am one of those people you know the ones who loves all animals and finds them all cute and adorable but GAhhhhh these dogs… babys adults and tweens are really the cutest dogs ever and okay blasphamey I know but equal to Pomeranians.

67 Theo 12.03.08 at 4:09 pm

I seem to be partial to basset hounds, m’self. No offense.

68 DLR in Canada 12.03.08 at 4:25 pm

omg, the puppies have grown so much! they’re playing with what looks like stuffed pumpkins. is this live? coz wouldn’t pumpkins = halloween?

69 natalie anne 12.03.08 at 4:35 pm

aww little shiba babys. i gotta go pick mine up at the groomers in 5 min. am dreading what the little mite has done to the place – Shane’s not fond of baffs

70 scooterpants 12.03.08 at 7:03 pm

fabulous! thank you col! :)

71 Redwolffclaw 12.03.08 at 7:42 pm

I caught them at a time where there was a 5 way tug of war going with a stuffed toy. So cute.

72 Meredith 12.03.08 at 8:37 pm

So cute….that is exactly what my shibas do!!!

73 Annie 12.03.08 at 8:51 pm

Teho thats cause you got that cutey at your house… and can we just establish right now that they have the most softest ears ever basset hounds… and of course soulful eyes.

74 nancy 12.03.08 at 10:01 pm

Collar in his mouth? NOT A PROBLEM! He’ll chew his way out of it. As for being potty trained — anyone see the poopy party yesterday? Right in front of the camera no less!! If you don’t own a Shiba, you can’t imagine what’s coming next!!

75 Dustbunny7 12.03.08 at 10:55 pm

Normally I would agree with you about chewing out of the collar. But the placement of the collar would have created a ‘chocking’ problem for the sweet pup.
Pups are always ready to try anything. Part of their charm!

76 K 12.03.08 at 11:59 pm

Oh yay!!! The little puppy’s person is playing with them! Yayyyy!!!!!!

77 Renee 12.04.08 at 12:48 am

There is a another puppy cam local here in Virginia, USA – well there are no puppies yet, but Mindy the Basset Hound looks like she is going to have them any minute now!

http://mindypups.blogspot.com

78 Mikey 12.04.08 at 1:44 am

Hey, this person is doubly cool. Not only do they own a Shiba Inu, but they also play World of Warcraft (as evidenced by the open box of the recently released “Wrath of the Lich King” DVD on their desk. Sweet. *my god, I’m a dork…*

79 scooterpants 12.04.08 at 2:36 am

mr hands is the coolest of ALL puppeh dad’s the the whole world, dont know about all that other stuff ya’all are talkin about.
but JUST check em out! the most healthy and happiest of puppers!!!

80 scooterpants 12.04.08 at 2:51 am

check him out, getting the pups used to new noises and stuff. they are SO intelligent, you can just see it on their faces, so inquisitive and not afraid of NOTHIN! thank you very much!

81 gravyboat 12.04.08 at 3:12 am

Uh ohhh! There are two humans in the room. The puppies must jockey for a lap position! And oh, those leetle tail wags are the cee-YOO-test!

82 Ermine 12.04.08 at 3:34 am

A previous commment:
“When I saw the title of the post I was like, “Oh dear, do I really wanna look?” And then, “Oh, okay, that’s funny!” Cuz you never know around this place…..”

Are you SERIOUS? SERIOUSLY SERIOUS? REALLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUS? Because that is oh so silly.

Yeah, Meg, enough throwing around of the beastiality already. Ow, my delicate sensibilities.

83 totalee puppy 12.04.08 at 4:26 am

puppies Puppies PUPPIES!!

84 doodebug 12.04.08 at 4:52 am

Mr Hand dumped all their toys on the floor (& 1 puppeh) & took their bed away…why you do that Mr Hand? Why? They DO have more nights at home …right??!!RIGHT????

To Renee: Thanks for telling us about little Mindy!! How cute she is!
Now I’ll NEVER get anything done!LOL!

86 Katrina 12.04.08 at 11:57 am

Silly puppehs are scrunched in an open-doored metal cagey-thing and not on their soft beddybye. Hmm. Silly puppehs are not out playing for me.
Will return later.

87 Carrie 12.04.08 at 4:43 pm

10:41 cst Thursday, the puppies are beating the living crap out of each other – and humans are walking in and out of the shot.

ON Mindy cam…. she’s really acting like she could pop at any moment!

http://mindypups.blogspot.com/

88 warrior rabbit 12.04.08 at 4:46 pm

Morning time with Daddy. Lap attack!

89 Chelsea 12.04.08 at 5:17 pm

Check out what the Chicago Tribune had to say about the pups this morning: http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/columnists/chi-puppycam-review-1204dec04,0,4395803.column

I’ll miss the puppies!

90 Julia 12.04.08 at 7:47 pm

Hehe. Pupeeh is stuck upside down wedged between doggy beds.

91 Patty P 12.04.08 at 7:55 pm

I saw Autumn and Ayumi both chewing some plastic that one of them had managed to chew off one of the toys. It was pale blue green and they were fighting over it. Autumn for sure was chewing on a piece there in the bed that she swallowed. It was long and thin and stretched by the time they were doing the last bit of cronching. Hopefully, she will be okay.

92 chris 12.04.08 at 9:12 pm

I think they are very cute puppies but why on earth are they in such a small kennel together?? They can’t be comfortable sleeping in there. My sister-in-law volunteers at a shelter and she would hate to see this video. But they are cute. Sorry, I just had to ask.

93 Renee 12.04.08 at 9:42 pm

@chris – the kennel door is open, they just choose to squeeze into there all together :)

94 Renee 12.04.08 at 9:44 pm

@doodlebug – haha I know! I have the window open next to my work on my computer… definitely close to puppy time and I can’t stop watching!

95 AuntieMame 12.04.08 at 10:04 pm

Chris, it’s easier to poke your brother surreptitiously in the behind if you’re sleeping on top of him. ;)

96 Theo 12.04.08 at 10:06 pm

This is me, not asking.

97 warrior rabbit 12.04.08 at 10:24 pm

They’re all crammed into the crate, and one head is lolling out onto the floor. How can that be comfortable?

Meanwhile, that poor basset hound looks sooo uncomfortabuhls.

98 catforspam 12.04.08 at 10:40 pm

Wow. I got a picture of the head loll. How do I submit a picture?

99 Gerry Hartsoe 12.04.08 at 10:48 pm

I just saw purple color pee on his bed. Shame Shame.

100 Rhonda 12.04.08 at 11:05 pm

They’re making really weird noises…

101 BillyUk 12.04.08 at 11:41 pm

They are v cute and v addictable…awww

102 BillyUk 12.04.08 at 11:43 pm

can the humans in the puppy pen see these comments?

103 Patty P 12.04.08 at 11:56 pm

@BillyUK, They do have access to CO and have been known to comment in the earlier posts on this site for their puppy cam. They don’t respond directly to questions in most cases because there would just be too many of them. You can see their info posted on the puppies by clicking on the Ustream link in the upper corner of the video here. It will take you to the page they roiginally set up so they could watch the puppies from work, to keep an eye on them while they were away from home.

104 warrior rabbit 12.05.08 at 2:01 am

Crazy puppy time! For all those who complain that they’re always sleeping when they look.

105 warrior rabbit 12.05.08 at 2:15 am

Mr. Hands was trying to get them to look at the camera, so first he was sort of gesturing this way and then he must have done something more encouraging, because all of a sudden a couple of them swarmed the area and I saw a big black nose come straight in and THEN THERE WAS NOTHING. Then Mr. Hands laughed and told them not to lick the camera and distracted them back away. :)

106 warrior rabbit 12.05.08 at 3:48 am

I’m surprised they haven’t had more visitors. If I knew someone who had puppies, I’d be over there all the time.

107 scooterpants 12.05.08 at 4:10 am

ah Patty P. you and I must be the last hold outs of the SHiba Pup’s on teh COL.
I feel that we are ‘old souls’ now , and have the responsibility of ed-you-ma -kate-ing the new-bees.
although we are about coming to the end of our
journey arent we?
this weekend will bring much sadness/joy/sorrow/hope.
I am also so excited to see. WHO WILL BE THE CHOSEN ONE! to stay and be the most beloved ‘keeper’.
as you know I think it will be Ayumi. who do you think it will be?

108 Patty P 12.05.08 at 4:24 am

@Warrior Rabbit: I too have managed in the last few days to tune in more than once to witness a great amount of puppeh activity – lots of running, chewing, snarling, barking, wrestling and human adoration. I have been giggling when all six were in a free-for-all wrestling match in the bed, and when I have seen one or the other try to control access to the doggie door, like guard it against others using it. Of course, nobody’s interested in any toy until one puppeh picks it up, then everyone else must have it.

Funniest moment I saw in last two days was when they were all in the bed area and someone stepped on a squeaky toy under the edge of the bedding. Everyone hd to commence digging in the same spot. Oh yeah! I saw a puppeh baroo today too!

109 Patty P 12.05.08 at 4:34 am

@scooterpants – I am hoping it is Ayumi too. She was the “runt” of the litter and fought hard to earn her place. She is brave and plucky and stands up for herself. I am not kidding myself though that she may not be the best choice from a breeder’s standpoint. I don’t know if the fact that she was smaller than the rest at first and had difficulty getting to the nipple precludes her from being a good choice for future breeding. She would be the choice I would make to keep from the heart though. She overcame any minor obstacles in her way and is nothing less than the other pups IMHO.

I have suspected all along that calling her the “runt” might have been distasteful to our cam hosts as I am sure they love all six, but I too have used the term. In any case, I think she would make a great addition to any household.

110 Renee 12.05.08 at 4:54 am

Mindy’s having her puppies!

http://mindypups.blogspot.com/

111 Kimberly 12.05.08 at 5:15 am

Is there a newborn baby at Mindy’s or do puppies sound like that when born?

112 Jon 12.05.08 at 5:57 am

How old are your pups? They are gorgeous.

113 warrior rabbit 12.05.08 at 6:24 am

@Jon, the SF clan just turned 8 weeks old, and this weekend will be going to new homes. Except for one. But we don’t know which one they are keeping.

114 warrior rabbit 12.05.08 at 8:02 am

They’re now sleeping in a circle. I mean, they form a circle, as they sleep mostly nose to tail in the round. It’s as if they were placed that way. And then in the middle, a bright blue plushie. It’s kind of funny.

Earlier there was some nose-in-the-camera action again. And general wildness. No wonder they’re sacked out now.

115 Pups'nstuff 12.05.08 at 3:44 pm

EWWWW!!! There was pee on the bed and the person put a fresh blanket down right on top of it! Gross!

116 Allisa 12.05.08 at 3:52 pm

MY Shiba is named Boomer too and he does the same thing, well not in the chair but sits on the ground next to me while I watch the puppy cam!

117 Renee 12.05.08 at 6:45 pm

@kimberly – Mindy’s puppies were born a little after midnight ET

http://mindypups.blogspot.com/

118 Patricia 12.05.08 at 9:54 pm

I read that several if not all of them will be leaving this weekend to go to their new families.

119 Gailjmcc 12.05.08 at 10:12 pm

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo, They can’t leave this weekend. I’m gonna be really sad without the puppehs

120 Gailjmcc 12.06.08 at 1:19 am

the puppies are in the dark now. playing hide and seek?

121 warrior rabbit 12.06.08 at 1:30 am

If snarling and barking = counting to ten, then yes.

122 Patty P 12.07.08 at 1:49 am

@Scooterpants – if you are reading – they picked Ayumi to keep! Yay!

Thnaks for all the fun and great puppeh care, Mr. Hands and Pretty Red Fingernail Polish Lady!

123 Patty P 12.07.08 at 4:32 am

LOLOL at Akoni learning how to use the squeaky toy. It looks like it’s gonna take him a loooong time to get tired of that one! Squeak-uh-squeak-uh-squeak-uh-squeak-uh…

124 warrior rabbit 12.07.08 at 4:44 am

Was that Akoni with the squeaky toy? LOL. I was doing something, but I could hear it…squeaking and squeaking and squeaking…

I love it when people come in and they all sit and look alert in that general direction, full of expectation.

125 Theo 12.07.08 at 5:15 am

One of the pups has… is that an *artichoke* on its butt?

126 Patty P 12.07.08 at 2:27 pm

@warrior rabbit – yes! It was black-collared Akoni. He was having such a great time, he made me giggle. It took him a while to tire of making it squeak. Mostly the others ignored it until one decided to try and take it away.
——–
@Theo. What? Artichoke butt?
——-
Those Shibas are sooo smart at only 8 weeks old! I saw one opening and closing the crate door, figuring out how it worked. The ones he shut inside didn’t care much for it though! They fretted only shortly then pushed the door open.

127 Patty P 12.07.08 at 7:55 pm

I got screen shots of all six playing and a bit of camera nuzzling this morning. I tuned back in six hours later (just now) and two pups have already gone to new homes, one more later this afternoon. *sniff*

128 warrior rabbit 12.07.08 at 8:10 pm
