Latest Toby Update (6/29)
oops, my other thread got closed, so I might as well start a new one. 
I'll add more tomorrow, but I don't have my card reader with me. I took video + photos with my laptop tonight.

Ok, technology is always a surprise to me --- videos and pics with your laptop? How does that work?
Toby is a licking monster huh? :-)
Is he getting darker?
not a hijack - i promise - but do shiba males keep on growing and filling out up until they are about 2? Kitsu has gained some weight, but I think he's taller and his chest deeper and he most certainly filled out since we got him a year ago. When do they stop growing?
His birthday is on Christmas Eve!
I got lots of new photos, but like I said ... no card reader. I'll upload them when I get back to college. xD
He got much darker in his back, and his winter coat came in. He's extra fluffy.
hm, I'm not sure when they stop growing, but I know for a fact that he's over/around 35 lbs. He's so heavy. I had a hard time picking him up!
It's still processing, but here's Toby and Coda wrestling this morning. My cat is ... very crazy and just jumps around and attacks Toby.
Well, Toby is as big as my Shikoku, who at 14 months weighs 35 lbs! Toby's a big Shiba boy! ;-)
heeehee. Toby and Kuma could have a playdate and be the same size. xD
I think Toby is more than 35lbs now. Its been like ... a month since i've weighed him. Its just funny, cause he's not fat or anything, he's nothing but muscle. 8)
Must be that Orijen Fishy food.
... i'm starting to have a hard time picking him up. It was easy when he was a puppy, now its like a chore, just picking him up and carrying him around. Dx
We put up the Christmas tree today, and Toby was barking at the lights, and chewing on the ribbons. He gets to sleep in my room tonight, since my mom wants him out of the way in the morning so she can work on cooking the Turkey. fuuuun.
I took Toby to the dog park this afternoon and he played in the mud with all the other doggies! He was totally filthy, so I gave him a bath after we came back ( after all, he's gotta be nice and soft and good smelling for all of our guests tomorrow! ).
Now he smells like Papaya!
As usual, he was totally cool with it. Toby never screams or whines in the sink. He just squirms. He hates the water on his paws, so I let him put his front paws on the split inbetween the sinks. I think he loves the shower head, though. It has little rubber points on it and I just run it through him and I think he likes it. Must feel good on his back!
I think it is totally awesome to wake up every morning to a wagging tail and little ears folded back. Actually, he might be suffering from minor separation anxiety, because I go up to my room and the stairs are gated off and he barks and whines. When I return ( an hour later ) he acts as if i've been gone forever or something. I do try to ignore him, though. But, sometimes it just puts a huge smile on my face to see him so happy to see me. But, considering i've babied him since he came home, and i'm his mommy, I guess it must be upsetting to watch me leave for days and weeks without seeing me.
I met some Shibas the other day at the dog park, and the black and tan puppy was sooo cute. Everytime I made noises, it'd jump right over and lick my hands and want me to pet it.
I weighed him the other day, and he is now 36 lbs!
