I Think We Are Ready

We have been thinking about getting a dog for a couple months now.  This will be our first dog, so we did a lot of research.  We wanted to find a dog who would fit into our family perfectly.  A dog that could go running on the trails with us, camping, and to the races.  So, we decided on a Shiba Inu.  If you know anything about these dogs, you probably think we are crazy for getting one.   Everything we have read about them says "Not for first time dog owners".  I guess they are super hard to train because they want to be the leader.  Shibas are extremely smart and very stubborn.  We haven't met our little guy yet, but they are said to have spunky personalities and are full of energy.  If we can get him trained (which should be interesting, since we have no idea what we are doing), I think we are going to have a good little buddy and an awesome trail dog!

Here's a sneak peek at our little cutie.  If everything goes OK, we will pick him up at the airport on June 1st.  Right now, he's only six weeks old and lives with his mommy in Arkansas.
