Retiree's

I am very proud to have had shared my life with these special dogs.
 
 
 

I miss the special Shibas below that have gone to the Rainbow Bridge. I was able to spend many years with them in my life but saying goodbye is always very hard.

Am/Can Ch. Shibas Nest Diamond Rio
August 21, 1994 - February 19, 2010

Rio was my first male Shiba. I was very fortunate to be able to bring such a sweet boy into my life. He was born on my birthday which always gave us an extra special bond.
 
Though he is no longer with me he will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ms. Allie was born on Elvis' birthday. She was more of a typical Shiba than her father (Rio). She could charm you completely just to reel you in and get her way.
She was a very special girl and will always be my little Allie-bug.

One of the greatest things about Shibas is that they can remain a part of our lives for so many years and still retain their wonderful personalities.
