the magic box of treats. It’s back again! For some reason for about a month each year I get a nightly treat from a special magical box. It’s amazing! But I don’t know why the box goes away and takes so long to return!? 4 out of 4 paws #magicbox #thattimeofyearagain #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

toast corners. Perfection crunchified! Totally worth interrupting my nap for. Why didn’t I discover these sooner?? Or more to the point, why didn’t pappas let me know about these from the beginning? 4 out of 4 paws #crunchified #letmeknowaboutit #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

the snow! It’s back for another season. This is really the best stuff. Crunchy under my paws, easy to kick around and bury my paws in. Why don’t we have this instead of summer?? 6 out of 4 paws #snow #winter #highlyrecommended #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

this heart installation. It’s a bit bright, really, don’t you think? But I guess if I get a snack at the end, I suppose I can wait for pappa to take the video. 2 out of 4 paws #anywaysnack #loveisallaround #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

my zoomigraphy. Pappa’s new watch is helping capture my artwork. Each of my post-poo zoomies are actually expressing my inner most desires like “more snacks”, and “enough with the nail clippers”. 4 out of 4 paws #zoomigraphy #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

pappa’s lunch. So greedy! While I’ve been starved with barely a lunch snack and nothing since breakfast but a steady stream of treats on the walk, all I managed to get from this sumptuous meal was a few crunchy corners of toast. 1 out of 4 paws #whataboutme #starving #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

this lax cupcake. It was about time that pappas did something for me! They took me to @dogbakerystockholm and bought me this lax cupcake. It took me a while to figure out how best to eat it, but two chomps and a swallow did it! 4 out of 4 paws #fika #lax #cupcake #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

camouflaging season. Can you believe I’m actually in all of these photos? Autumn is a fun season for me, because I can fade into the background at will, like a chameleon 🦎 4 out 4 paws (but none of the paws are visible!) #camouflage #autumn #invisibledog #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

supervising pappa working from home. Time is money, I always say, but I also like to keep it subtle when I monitor people for their work efficiency. This time pappa passed the inspection, somehow. 2.5 out of 4 paws #monitor #efficiency #timeismoney #dogsofinstragram #柴犬 #shibainu

the magic red cheese. No need for the ability to fly, or seeing the future. I already have the superpower of hearing the cheese unwrapping from the far side of the apartment. 10 out of 4 paws #superpower #cheese #taptaptap #dogsofbluesky #柴犬 #shibainu

the rainbow sunbeds in the park. These sunbeds are OK as toll points for snacks. Not the most exciting or difficult to jump up on, but also not too bad. Pappas seem to like the colours, so there’s that I guess. 2.5 out of 4 paws #rainbow #sunbed #tolls #dogsofbluesky #柴犬 #shibainu #柴犬マニア

my portrait. One of the small humans that drops food for me also drew a picture of me. I think it looks a lot like me, too! Especially the curly tail. Thanks, June! 4 out of 4 paws #portrait #thanks #accuraterepresentation #dogsofbluesky #柴犬 #shiba #shibainu #柴犬マニア

the new tiger rug. I have mixed feelings about cats, generally. Sometimes I show them exactly who’s boss and other times the cats gang up on me in very unfair ways. But I managed to exert dominance over this tiger through strategic napping. 4 out of 4 paws #dogsofbluesky #shiba #柴犬 #shibainu

walking along walls. The world always looks better from a narrow perspective. My narrow perspective of choice is along the top of walls in parks. Gotta make sure I’m looking down my nose at everyone! 4 out of 4 paws #perspective #superiority #walls #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

this impromptu photoshoot. Pappas thought I wanted scratches, but actually it was time for me serve some poise and atmosphere from under the bed. They rarely pick up the hints I leave for them about appropriate behaviour, so this was a rare success! 4 out of 4 paws. #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

handshakes. I’m not in sales. I’m not a politician. And people clearly already know I’m around, because they say the traditional greetings such as “So handsome!” or “He looks like a fox!”. So what is the point in this handshaking business?? Ugh. -1 out of 4 paws. #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

my organic artwork. Even though I spend a lot of time carefully decorating the apartment with fur tumbleweeds, pappas sometimes like to take my art show on the road. Today I held an impromptu exhibition of my fluff, open to the public. Please enjoy. 4 out of 4 paws. #dogsofbluesky #柴犬 #shibainu

these little white flowers. Sometimes I like to nose around in these flowers and get confetti petals all over me. And sometimes I choose instead to just sit and listen to the birds and background noises. I like to mix it up and keep it fresh! 3 out of 4 paws. #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky #柴犬マニア

upside down naps. Sometimes you just gotta turn the world the other way around for it to make sense, right? Upside down naps are perfect for this, kind of like a meditation reset. Highly recommended! 4 out of 4 paws #upsidedown #sensemaking #naps #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

public displays of affection. Nope. Obviously nope. But I’ll take the snack at least. 0 out of 4 paws #nope #loveactuallyno #柴犬 #shibainu #dogsofbluesky

this troll. I thought trolls were meant to be mean guys in your comments. But this troll was pretty chill, actually. A bit large, perhaps, but definitely chill! 3 out of 4 paws #chilltroll #unexpected @thomasdambo #dogsofbluesky

this statue’s quality of walkies. Not a great experience, all round. It’s not like I don’t also randomly stop at times, but this guy was really not moving at all! Would not recommend as a dog walker :( 0 out of 4 paws #statue #dogwalking #hurryupalready #dogsofbluesky

snowy parks. The crunch under paw is the best part … no, I lie. It’s the crunchy goose poop that’s best part of snowy days in a park! 4 out of 4 paws #crunch #snow #goosepoop #dogsofbluesky

this squeaky swing. Usually I don’t like sitting on stuff that wiggles and moves. Even turning corners in the car makes me feel weird. But I’ll do it for a treat, of course! 2 out of 4 paws #dogsofbluesky #shiba #柴犬

pre-breakfast mornings. Honestly, what’s the point of being awake in the morning if you haven’t had your breakfast yet? I’m disappointed in Pappa for not sorting this out sooner. 1 out of 4 paws #breakfastnow #badperformancereview #dogsofbluesky

the armchair. It wasn’t so long ago that I wouldn’t have considered this a place for naps. But actually, it’s in a nice position for monitoring pappas in case they start doing strange things, like getting the nail clippers, or preparing a bath for me. 3 out of 4 paws #armchairsurveillance

this turtle seat. Reasonable surface for sitting on, and an enjoyable height for jumping down from. All in all, a solid effort from the street furniture department. 3 out of 4 paws #turtleseat #sittingsurface #solideffort

my night-time toll collection. I don’t always want to go into the park, but if Pappas drag me there then they need to pay up with treats! I like jumping up on this wiggly table in particular. 3 out of 4 paws #tolls #wigglytable #notthepark #ohfinethen #柴犬 #柴犬マニア #柴犬好き #shibainu

this log on my morning walk. Not a bad place to collect snack taxes from Pappa. Taxes are a very important part of walkies time, so it’s my duty to remind Pappas about this frequently. 4 out of 4 paws #log #snacks #taxesareimportant

New napping spot found. Yes, I’ve slipped off it in my sleep, but I came back anyway. 3.5 out of 4 paws #nap #shiba #rudewaytowakeup
