You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Huh. I'm surprised they didn't, actually. I kind of get why he's pissed. Has he turned into some kind of embarrassing freakshow or something that the network doesn't want to grapple with?
They've heard rumours that he spitz.
Re the Olympics, I love the way Australia sounds in Chinese, like they're really belting it out. (Every character has a downward tone, so it sounds like they're emphasising! Every! Syllable!) Oh, and the characters, which are all chosen for phonetic reasons, mean Bay Large Strength Asia, which I also find quite charming. (The Chinese for America means Beautiful Country.)

Holy cripes, javachick. That's HYSTERICAL. How big is Chile Pepper? Is she a shiba or a jindo? Also, i'd like to point out with that pic of Kuma? That's when we had rented a subaru outback!

Oh, Kat, that's just way too weird!!
Chile could be kindsa everything; the vet's best guess is Shiba Inu & "extras".
And how big is she? About 35 pounds, I think. She's definitely at least 10 lbs heavier than the purebred Shibas we've encountered.

HA. I'd guess she's part jindo based on her size. With something else, based on her ears. Lots of jindo photos.

Jindo page. Kuma is pretty atypical jindo in some senses, but in terms of personality (stubborn, for example) is right on.

And lori has an almost exact version of this picture except we were at Zion instead and his head was much further out.
So funny. It's like the same dog life!

Oh you're right. She could totally be a Jindo! Other than size, I don't see much difference between the Shibas and the Jindos.
Which one snores more? And likes frozen broccoli? Therein could lie the answer.
Bwahaha! Dogs squashing their own heads!The "free" entertainment is limitless, isn't it?

The biggest difference other than size is in the face shape (shibas tend towards a tighter/sharper pointed faces) and bark (shibas are usually sort of high pitched, where jindos have a deeper bark, but that could be size dependent). Kuma almost never barks.
I'm trying to remember if he snores at all, and I can't remember. If he did, it was nothing compared to what Bear would do.
