Hiro Loves Hand Me Downs

My co-worker gave me a bag of toys that her greyhound doesn't play anymore. She gave me a Hide-a-Squirrel dog toy. It is the cutest thing!! Here's a couple videos of Hiro playing with it!

Hiro's new friend

Yesterday I took Hiro to the dog park since the weather was so nice. When we got to the dog park, there was only 1 dog there and the owner was just about to leave. Hiro and him started to play in the parking lot and then I asked them if they were about to leave. They said cause no one was there. But since I came, they decided to stay. The dog kept wiping his butt on the floor. He may have worms?
Here's a video of them playing.

8 month

Hiro is 8 month today. I am so happy I have him as a pet. Not any other dog, just him. He is such a good boy. Very patient. He goes into his pen by himself after eating his breakfast, when he knows I gotta go to work and at night he goes in when it's time for bed. I don't even need to tell him. He's not mischevious at all. Doesn't really get into anything. I love it how he likes to be to be in the same room as me. If I go to the garage, he will wait at the door. If I brush my teeth, he'll come sit next to me. hehehe.... yes, he's a mamma's boy. =)

Bleeding Gums

For the past few days I noticed that Hiro has been licking/smacking his lips a lot. I wasn't sure what was wrong with him. Yesterday I put my finger in his mouth and when I took it out, I noticed some blood. I looked around his mouth and noticed that in his area, the gumline was bleeding. Hiro will be 8 months tomorrow and I thought all his adult teeth have come in. Should I be worried? I called the vet yesterday and they said that he's not a year yet. They suggested me to bring him in, but again I'm sure the vet just want to make a few bucks. I told them that I'll monitor him and bring him in if it gets worse. As of this morning, I noticed that Hiro hasn't been licking his lips that much.

When do all the adult teeth come in for Shibas?

Another Play Date

This past Wednesday, Kiba came over to play with Hiro. As you can tell, they can't get enough of each other! =)

New ID Tag

This past weekend, I went to NYC so my cousin watched Hiro for me. I was going to put Hiro's collar on him but it didn't fit! I've used it since he was a puppy. Looks like I'll have to upgrade his collar. The only time I put Hiro's collar on him is when someone else is watching him, in case he runs off. When I take Hiro for walks, I don't put on his collar.

Before my NYC trip, I took off the ID tag and I hooked it to his harness with a split ring. I guess it fell off some time this weekend because when I came home yesterday, it was gone. =( I ordered him a Collar Tag from Boomerang Pet Tags after good reviews. Now I just need to get him a new collar. =)

Nom Nom Nom

I got Hiro his first beef trachea. He LOVES IT!!!! Here's a video of him enjoying it!
