Meet Maya.  She is my sweet, loving, annoying, yappy, stubborn, and adorable Shiba Inu.  She pretty much does her own thing (the stubborn part) and expects non-stop loving attention from us humans.  I was never a dog person.  In fact, I was far from being a dog person.  They smell, they drool, they’re needy.  But one lick from this sweet girl was all I needed.  The cute fluffy tail wiggle might’ve helped a bit, too.  She turns 7 in one week….  makes me realize how little time we have left with her.  My life has been forever changed by her furry little face and I cannot image my life without her.
