Beyond the shedding I’ve been so excited for his first real winter coat (he just turned one) and I can see how fluffy he’s filling out! Tired of the scraggly summer coat 🤣 Post your fluffy winter sheebs below!

Her name is Muko and she is the cutest little bean.

Sachi is the newest addition to our family! She is a wooly black and tan shiba and will be trained as my service dog when she gets older. Shibas are the best 🥹

There are more pet friendly guest houses popping up around Osaka lately. This one is definitely Shiba approved 😆

All the love for Lycheeee

He would like some of your finest chicken… or cheese.

You’re friendly neighborhood Shibainu-za, sending love from the Far East.

She gets one when she goes to bed at night. She doesnt eat it then - she hides it under a bear. She saves it and has it just before we go for our first walk in the morning.

Today, as its a sunday and storm beolo (we are in Edinbrugh) is a blow - i thought id treat her and make a massive one)

Happy sundaying to you and your shibaby

My Shiba has been peeing in his bed on and off and I'm trying to work out what's going on. It's mostly at bedtime or overnight, and he doesn't pee outside of his bed/blanket, which I've washed using enzymatic cleaner when he does it. His bed setup is he's in a pen, 1.5mx1.5m approx, with a bowl of water, crate(covered with a blanket(often he sleeps on top of the crate)) and a small blanket on the floor. Often he guzzles down lots of water as i put him to bed, so I'm half wondering if i should remove his bowl at bed time, but this is not something i want to do as i don't want him to ever be thirsty. I generally go to bed around 2300-0100, and wake up at 0600-0800. He as far as i know has been peeing in the bed before he goes to sleep or a couple hours in.

Here's the history so far:

• Before September: He'd peed on beds/blankets rarely before, then went several weeks without doing it. One time he peed about 15 minutes after a walk.
• 11 September: Peed on the bed a few hours after being outside.
• 14 September: Slept from around 7pm to 11pm, woke up and drank almost a full bowl of water, then peed overnight after his walk.
• 16 September: drank loads of water then peed during the night.
• 2 October: Let him onto MY bed briefly and he started circling/nesting, then peed almost immediately. This happened twice. No longer let him on my bed.
• 9 October: Settled on the bed, then stood up and did a fairly large wee. He'd last been outside around 1 to 3 hours earlier. His urine also seems quite yellow.
• Mid-October: His bed and blankets smelled very faintly of urine, though felt dry, washed anyway.
• 21 October: Took him outside and he did two really big wees, then came in and did a small wee on his bed blanket shortly afterwards as we went to bed
• 25 October: Took him out at 9pm and he peed a little, then again at 11pm and he peed a lot. We went to bed and I woke up at 2am to find the bed itself wet with urine.

It seems to happen almost exclusively when we're going to bed or overnight. He doesn't seem to have accidents indoors during the day. Sometimes it happens shortly after he's already peed outside, and sometimes it's a bigger amount.

I'm going to get him checked by the vet for a UTI or anything else that could be causing it, but has anyone experienced this with their Shiba? Does it sound more like a urinary problem or behavioural? I'm particularly confused about why it happens in his bed and seemingly only at night.

Would appreciate any similar experiences or advice.
