Sammy.

Sammy is my new companion. He is a Shiba Inu, a Japanese breed, their equivalent of a Jack Russell. He hardly ever barks and is house broken. When we walk together he has to be on a leash else I would never see him again because it is his nature to hunt small game. We got him from the pound where they were loath to claim him as a pure breed because he had been a stray, however, from my own research, he is purebred. Not that I give a vegetarian monkey's dangler either way. Because I love him.

Ahh Frank. Sammy is so cute!! I love that "vegetarian monkey's dangler " saying! ha ha ha! HAVE FUN WITH HIM!!--

Artist Reply: Ah! Olga. Where I come from we dont have PC. I like to think that PC led to the end of the Roman Empire and it may do the same for the USA. When you cant speak your mind in an unconventional way You might as well give up. Frank.

Hello, Frank, Sammy is absolutely adorable, lucky you!

Artist Reply: I am very lucky to have this little fellow but he is as nervous as a kitten. Something traumatic must have happened him in his former association that has him so spooked. Thanks for your comments.

Really nice photo, Frank! Shiba inu like their relative, the akita inu (which I have)are known to be of bold, independent mind, but make wonderful companions. Best of luck with your new buddy, he's adorable-

Artist Reply: Yes Kathryn, yes and unlike god he can be seen, touched and even taken for a walk.
