Oh come on, it’s not like it’s Butterstick, or those cute lion cubs or any of those exotic zoo babies. You people have nothing better to do than to watch some domestic fur covered socks on the other side of the wor–

Oh look! they’re nursing! Oh, momma’s cleaning ‘em! Oh, they’re wiggling!

*nevermind*

2 Jen 01.18.10 at 7:15 pm

Hah! I just dashed over here to send you this an BAM here it was! :-D You’re to quick for me Meg

3 Decca 01.18.10 at 7:22 pm

I am so ridiculously happy right now.

4 Nikki 01.18.10 at 7:28 pm

Yippee! I was wondering when Kika would have another litter. I’m so happy you shared this with us, Meg! :)

5 RedZ 01.18.10 at 7:41 pm

YaY!

6 M. 01.18.10 at 7:42 pm

This is bliss.

7 Samantha 01.18.10 at 7:42 pm

Oh yay! I loved the puppy cam, so happy to have it back.

8 ysubassoon 01.18.10 at 7:43 pm

This is one way that the internets are making economic forecasting easier. Thanks to this Puppeh Cam, economists can now predict the exact day, nay, the minute, that global productivity comes to a halt, to be followed closely thereafter by billions of voices in hundreds of languages saying in unison, “AWW PUPPEH!”

9 Brenda 01.18.10 at 7:53 pm

Where IS this?? Which country, state, whatever? Adorable tho. :-D

10 Yethica 01.18.10 at 7:55 pm

GAAAAAAAAH!!! *dies from the uber cuteness*

11 kibblenibble 01.18.10 at 8:12 pm

Brenda, I think they’re in San Francisco, California USA. (Very close to me! SQUEEEE!) Kika is a great mama. The pups are still just roly-poly helpless things. Bliss!

12 trucka 01.18.10 at 8:14 pm

NO!

NO NO NO!

I – REFUSE – to do this again! to sit here and watch these damn dogs, checking the site several times a day to see what they’re doing, have it streaming at work, minimized in a small screen in the corner of my monitor, and coo-ing like an idiot when something cute happens!

omg look at them all huddled together and squirming in a tight little mass…

dammit!

13 KrisD 01.18.10 at 8:19 pm

AWwwwwwwww one puuppeh sleeping, 4 nursing…

*die*

14 resriechan 01.18.10 at 8:21 pm

(Could we just re-title this item
“Puppy cuteness & human denial”????)

Kibblenibble,

Then we’re neighbors. I’m in the SF bay area. :-)

16 dub1 01.18.10 at 8:39 pm

Snow pups, foxy pups
Astir like cream in coffee:
Brownian motion

Shiba Inu Kika haiku throwdown! 5/7/5 avec seasonal reference AND stochastic particle theory, beeyatches!

West Syeed!

17 Mrs. McGinty 01.18.10 at 9:44 pm

Oooooh, quick, Mama got up and walked away for a sec! Let’s grab ‘em, one under each arm, come on, hurry, they can’t walk yet, it’s not like they can run away from us or anything!

*lookit, they’re all squirmy and everything, looking for Mama, curling into each other for warmth*
*melts into pool of awwwww*
*forgets to grab ‘n run*

18 edmundh 01.18.10 at 9:47 pm

OMG There are two white ones!!!

21 Beth 01.18.10 at 10:17 pm

The twitching! Sleepy twitching!!!

22 katfighter 01.18.10 at 10:22 pm

You guys, make sure your sound is up. They sometimes makes killer qte squeaky puppy noises.

I’m not going to get any work done for the next 8 weeks.

23 certified cutologist 01.18.10 at 10:30 pm

I wish I lived in a world where this was on television instead of Jersey Shore…

24 Kait 01.18.10 at 10:42 pm

They’re all adorably sorted by colour at the moment, and mama’s got a protective paw over one of the little white-furred boy pups. I think I may die of adorable. Not a bad way to go.

25 catloveschanel 01.19.10 at 1:08 am

OMG! I had to go to a 12 step program when they went off the air! They are off-air right now… I am so let down… Are you just pulling my leg

26 brewcitysunshine 01.19.10 at 1:47 am

They are way too cute!

27 Hon Glad 01.19.10 at 2:20 am

Not a lot of action when I have looked.

28 Amy 01.19.10 at 3:45 am

12-step program? looks like a 20-step program to me.. (5 puppies x 4 feets)

29 Katrina 01.19.10 at 3:51 am

OK, I’m in-no self control here…

30 Von Zeppelin 01.19.10 at 4:56 am

Since it’s 4 AM Pacific time when I went to look, there is no live puppycam action. Thus, I was not swept into the vortex of cuteness. Now I’ll have to resist the temptation to check in while I’m at work. I have a few things I need to get done today. . .

31 Birdcage 01.19.10 at 6:07 am

I fear an economic slow-down as thousands of otherwise hard-working staffers across the globe tune into the puppy cam from their offices……

32 lrm 01.19.10 at 6:26 am

Totally not a nuffer, but just wondering when her last litter was? I don’t want the adorable mama to get so tired continuing to be an adorable mama over and over without a rest… I love puppy cams!

33 T.U.M. 01.19.10 at 6:35 am

Seems to be off the air now.

34 chanpon 01.19.10 at 7:07 am

Watched them yesterday, and they are adorable. Love the creamy ones!

35 Judy B 01.19.10 at 7:16 am

@Irm: fear not the last litter was aaaaaaaaaaaages ago. You can see one of the grown up ones (Ayumi) on the videos.

I thought I was spoilt with Pandacam but now I’m going to have to split my attentions.
Hooray for the return of Puppycam!

36 pookie 01.19.10 at 7:24 am

Can’t…get…link…to work*… GAH! Somebody fix the link! Fix the link FIX THE LINK!!!!!!!!.*hyperventilates*

37 kermit 01.19.10 at 7:25 am

certified cutologist, there was an episode of “This American Life” where a guy did pitch a puppy channel to the networks. it would have been an entire channel devoted to nothing but puppies/cute things and there would be no human voice or music of any kind. the network execs didn’t go for it.

[Except, there's this thing called The Internet now... ;) - Ed.]

38 Mary 01.19.10 at 7:26 am

Welp, now I won’t be getting anything done at work this afternoon.

Irm: Her last litter was born in Oct. 2008, so it’s been just over a year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiba_Inu_Puppy_Cam

39 Alice 01.19.10 at 8:18 am

Where are they? EXCITEMENT RISING

40 Birdcage 01.19.10 at 10:08 am

OMG! Nursing puppies GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *splode*

41 Tori 01.19.10 at 10:24 am

BEST DAY EVAR

42 Tally 01.19.10 at 10:55 am

There’s a little white one!!! *dies*

43 Tally 01.19.10 at 10:55 am

Two white ones! *dies again*

44 Tally 01.19.10 at 10:58 am

Awww… one just stole a nipple from another puppy. There are enough for all of you!

45 Diana 01.19.10 at 11:01 am

Put down the Xanax. Go watch the puppies. Sigh. *shoulders descend from up beside ears, down to where shoulders belong*

46 catloveschanel 01.19.10 at 11:05 am

@Amy ok, 20 steps, it is but I musta just relapsed because I looked at them the first thing when I got up… before coffee even. New obsession… but I have to go to George Clinton tonight, so I will break for that.

47 GingerBean 01.19.10 at 11:18 am

OMGPUPPIES!!!1!!

Oh this so made my day, which was really sucking. Thank you CuteOverload and Kika!

48 Teeny Gozer 01.19.10 at 11:21 am

What a good mama she is!

49 Libby 01.19.10 at 11:42 am

Sure they look harmless now, but Shiba Inu can be pretty mean. :/

[Well so can chihuahuas, and dachshunds, and bichons frise, and my freaky old cat Zeitgeist (RIP), and pretty much any animal. We are what we are. - Ed.]

50 Libby 01.19.10 at 11:49 am

Nothing against posting about them. I have just had bad experiences (I was petting my neighbor’s Shiba and it bit me in the face and hand), and I figure some reality was necessary for people who thought of snuggling these. ;;

51 Betty 01.19.10 at 11:51 am

Love the pups! But really wish that sometime you’d also feature another Ustream cam — the Bad Manors Squirrel Diner. Squirrels are cute too! And there will be babies soon!

52 KittyAdventures 01.19.10 at 11:57 am

the white ones look like baby polar bears right now LOL

53 catloveschanel 01.19.10 at 12:33 pm

squeaking!

54 FireTheCanon 01.19.10 at 12:41 pm

I love shibas!! I want one!

55 spongebrooke 01.19.10 at 12:49 pm

oh dear, i have shamu cam AND puppy cam running at work now….
*runs to get popcorn & hot cocoa*
fyi: running the microwave constitutes as being productive now ;)

56 hyura 01.19.10 at 1:00 pm

the mommy is so gorgeous.

57 browngrl 01.19.10 at 1:19 pm

O.K, Here’s the rule for this new set of puppies: I must be consulted on all puppy related activities. I have already watched this new set of pups enough that I have bonded to ALL of them and now consider myself a surrogate mother to all of them (mom included). So of course it is only natural and right that I have a say in what happens to them.

58 catloveschanel 01.19.10 at 1:26 pm

@sponbebrooke lifts head from puppycam . . . what’s a shamucam

59 Miaoosers 01.19.10 at 1:32 pm

Boy, motherhood looks exhausting! I’m pooped just by watching mamma take care of her cute litter. I heard breastfeeding is pretty much like jogging 10 miles. Is that true?

Those are the cutest doggie-poos ^-^

60 linnerlu 01.19.10 at 2:55 pm

Ooooo, one of the babies just now got stuck behind Mom’s shoulder, and Big Friendly Hands came in and extricated him, gently put him back on Mom’s belleh. Took the opportunity for an extra skritch on the other Bebehs too. Mom had no problem with it … she’s a GOOD Mom!

61 Von Zeppelin 01.19.10 at 5:45 pm

What a good, kind, patient mom-dog. She seems not to mind just lying there until the whole litter has all they want.

In the long-ago days when she was nursing our twins, I recall the Countess Von Zeppelin observing that she sometime felt like a cross between a cow and KC-135 (Air Force aerial refueling tanker). I did my best to be as sympathetic as possible and to my share of parenting duties, but I wasn’t able honestly to say “I know how you feel.”

62 Queen of Dork 01.19.10 at 6:12 pm

Miaoosers: Nursing made me feel like I just drank an entire bottle of Nyquil. Sooooooooooooooooooo sleeeeeeepppyyyyy…….(zzzzzz).

63 Biscuit Tin 01.19.10 at 6:20 pm

The smallest white one would rather sleep than eat. It’s going to stay smallest, at this rate. Eat, baby!

64 Biscuit Tin 01.19.10 at 7:52 pm

To Momoi doggy: Hey! Stop moving your puppies around ‘n stuff! I have things to do! Release me! =)

65 They are cute though 01.19.10 at 8:29 pm

Spay and neuter your pets!

66 ash 01.19.10 at 9:24 pm

I agree. Please spay and neuter. No need to air horrific statistics.

67 kibblenibble 01.19.10 at 10:10 pm

So hypnotic. Everybody’s sleeping, including the sweet mama…except for one nursing white pup with a pink nosie. So soothing to watch. ♥

68 shannon 01.19.10 at 10:35 pm

The pups are indeed cute. Can’t wait to see them once their eyes and ears open and they really start moving around!

69 Daphne Moss 01.19.10 at 11:06 pm

Best thing on the Internet…
Thank you, mamma and pappa SF!

70 Julia (the one in BC) 01.20.10 at 9:19 am

The streaming video isn’t coming up for me at all… even though it says Live Broadcast started 46 minutes ago. I tried clicking Pop Out, in case giving the feed its own window would work. The window stays black. At the bottom of the window it briefly reads “Transferring data from ustream.tv” and then “Done”. But – no picture, just a black screen.

Is there some trick to this that I’m missing? I want to see the pups too! {cries}

Help help!

71 snuh 01.20.10 at 1:02 pm

EFF YES! (fistpumps)

72 catloveschanel 01.20.10 at 2:58 pm

Maybe you should clear your cache Julia, shut down your browser and try again. That is indeed terrible to not view puppehs.

It looks like they are in a rowboat.

73 Rita 01.20.10 at 5:08 pm

It is so sad that they have bred this dog for the second time this year. Spay and neuter!

74 Marie 01.20.10 at 8:50 pm

Incredible news! Thank you, universe….

75 catloveschanel 01.21.10 at 10:08 am

Excuse me, this item needs to be moved to the masthead asap.

76 Tally 01.21.10 at 10:24 am

Aww! The daddy human is petting the babies…. So cute!

77 SFShiba 02.03.10 at 6:18 pm

Rita, if you had read Mary’s post on the 18th you would have seen a link to where she notes that the first litter was born in October of 2008. Not sure how you got two litters in one year out of that.
