We hope you are prepared for the onslaught of cute that follows. You have been warned.
Monday afternoon we headed toward Gettysburg, PA (a quick 2 hour road trip) to meet and pick up our new puppy Basil. He is a 10 week old Black & Tan Shiba Inu that we purchased from Rodel Shibas, a show quality Shiba breeder. From the moment we saw this cutie, we were hooked.
So far, he has been extremely well behaved, slept through the night, let’s us know when he needs to go out, and wants nothing more than to play with Captain. They are still working out their boundaries but we have high hopes for them being best of friends. He is still getting use to his new collar and the general concept of a walk. He thinks it’s walk/sit/run/sit.
Kate and I are so happy and excited to welcome this new addition into our hearts and home.
Without further adieu, Basil.
Being trained by a puppy,
Brett and Kate

















He doesn’t look like the last picture you sent us – I think you have the wrong puppy! Seriously – he’s adorable – looks mischievous though. Did you name him after the character from the kids book Detective Basil? He was a dog also. Just wondering. Keep sending the pics!!
Love Mom & Paul
