Meet our new dog: Chibi

I've always wanted a new dog since  Ogie died of old age (*cry) and in my mind's eye, it is always a black furry girl dog.

So, when a good friend of mine from highschool posted cute black ShihPoo pups for sale, I immediately texted her. And after  a little reluctance from Neva's father (who doesn't want to be parted from the cute puppy), we came home with a new member of the family: Chibi.

 

 

 

My siblings and I have thought of the name Chibi for the dog. Chibi is is Japanese slang word for something small and cute. We came across this word while watching the anime, Prince of Tennis where the members of Seigaku team fondly calls Ryoma (the lead character) "O'chibi" because he is the smallest in the team. (Well, being the only freshman to be eligible to the team, this is justifiable.) Since Chibi is the smallest of the pups, we knew the name was perfect.

 

Ryoma is the one at the front most with the white cap

It turns out that name is not the only thing Chibi and Ryoma have in common. They also both have relentless energy. Chibi is such an active dog. She will only stop once she is dead tired. In the photo below, she actually has a cut in her right eye because of being too playful. She loves being tickled in the belly and licking faces. Her favorite game is the pabitin where you will dangle a cloth or a rope and she will catch it.

She is a certified stress reliever and cuddle toy. I look forward to going home this weekend to play with her.
