First time laying eyes on Boyah.
Operation Shiba Inu is underway! At first I couldn't get him in the car and the vet tech at the shelter had to come out and coax him in, but once in the car, Boyah burrowed into the back seat and then eventually started to warm up to me. Here are some pictures from our first day together. I particularly like the one where he's licking his face and looking very wolfish!
Unfortunately, he had a scare at the house moments after arriving. He knocked over a TV tray and it freaked him out. Now he's terrified to return to the spot where it happened, which sadly, is the space in between the living room and the dining room where his crate, food adn water are. He stubbornly refused to go into his crate despite his being thirsty and hungry. I eventually moved his bowl outside and the lazy thing didn't even stand up to eat. He just shoved his face in the bowl while still lying down.

The corridor of terror. He's hanging back unwilling to make the return trip.

Boyah is always ready to go outside. We've gone on our first walk and then just hung out in the front yard. He's real good about wiping his feet on the doormat. When I say to him, "wipe your feet," he really does!
Snow Dog!
Peeking around the sofa to intensely stare at me eating.

Comments are welcome. Especially those noting how cute he is!
