There was also a nice, enclosed play area where I got to romp around in an <a href=\"http:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/are-off-leash-dogs-happier-than-on-leash-dogs\">off-leash format<\/a>. <\/p>\n<div id='2605' class='wp-caption frame3 alignright' style='width:280px' ><div class='shiba-outer shiba-gallery' ><div class='shiba-stage' style='width:280px'><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Image82-280x210.jpg\" alt=\"A very happy Shiba Inu after a visit to the SPCA.\" title=\"Happy Shiba Inu\" width=\"280\" height=\"210\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2605\" \/><div class='wp-caption-text shiba-caption'>A very happy Shiba Inu after a visit to the SPCA.<\/div><\/div> <!-- End shiba-stage --><\/div><\/div>\n<p>This play area had many balls, frisbees, ropes and interesting objects strewn about, so I had lots of fun. <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t long before I saw this really hairy dog called Zen. <\/p>\n<p>His face had some similarities with a Shiba, which means that he is quite handsome; although not as handsome as me. <\/p>\n<div id='2609' class='wp-caption frame3 aligncenter' style='width:520px' ><div class='shiba-outer shiba-gallery' ><div class='shiba-stage' style='width:520px'><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Image88-520x390.jpg\" alt=\"A handsome hairy dog called Zen.

In fact, for some incomprehensible reason, Zen just wanted to be with the 2-legged ones. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Everybody knows that 4 legs are superior to 2 legs! And <a href=\"http:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/shiba-inu-personality-good-bad-traits\">a Shiba Inu<\/a> is the most superior of all.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Anyway, I was not about to give up, so I did my best to get Zen to relax and acknowledge my Shiba-awesomeness. I jumped up on him, I ran around, I play-bowed, I did my air-butt move, I humped him on the side, back, and front. Ultimately, Zen realized what a cool dude I am and started romping around with me! <\/p>\n<div id='2608' class='wp-caption frame3 aligncenter' style='width:520px' ><div class='shiba-outer shiba-gallery' ><div class='shiba-stage' style='width:520px'><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Image86-520x390.jpg\" alt=\"True to his name, Zen was very calm, so it was a challenge to get him to play with me.\" title=\"Zen - A Very Awesome Dog\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2608\" \/><div class='wp-caption-text shiba-caption'>True to his name, Zen was very calm, so it was a challenge to get him to play with me.<\/div><\/div> <!-- End shiba-stage --><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Den Female says that I was a pest and Zen played with me a little in the hopes that I would leave him alone; but I know better. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Everybody realizes that I am totally AWESOME &#8230; eventually.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just need to apply my legendary Shiba persistence and everything always works out in the end. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n<strong>Shiba Wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If at first you don&#8217;t succeed, try and try again!\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id='5405' class='wp-caption frame3 aligncenter' style='width:520px' ><div class='shiba-outer shiba-gallery' ><div class='shiba-stage' style='width:520px'><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/shibashake.com\/dog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/IMG_4096-520x390.jpg\" alt=\"Everybody realizes that I am totally AWESOME \u2026 eventually.\" title=\"Goofy Shiba Inu and Small Teddy Bear\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5405\" \/><div class='wp-caption-text shiba-caption'>Everybody realizes that I am totally AWESOME \u2026 eventually.<\/div><\/div> <!-- End shiba-stage --><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shiba Inu Diary &#8211; Sephy visits the SPCA and gets to play with Zen who is a very handsome Chow Chow.
