Finally, photographic evidence of the Teddy Possum minefield that the dogs leave for us on the steps. One day, I will slip on a Teddy Possum carcass, fall down the steps, and break my neck. Yoshi can hardly wait.
Tsuki awoke from a deep sleep to see if their trap had finally worked. You can tell she just woke up, because her tail is still uncurled. It’s her shiba equivalent of bed head.
Behold! The terrifying monster that Teddy Possum parents warn their children about.
If you read any book on Teddy Possum myth and legend (and there are a lot of them), you’re sure to find a mention of fox-like creatures with glowing eyes that disembowel and dismember innocent villagers.
The last thing many Teddy Possums see…
Excavation site of an ancient Teddy Possum burial ground. Some shibas say it’s hainted.
I found this video that talks about the dog in the SoftBank commercials, and, I could be wrong, but I think they might be saying that he’s a kai ken! As far as I know, kai have sickle tails and coats of black brindle (usually). I’ve never seen one with a pure cream coat, so maybe I’m just misunderstanding what’s being said (which is extremely likely, since I actually don’t understand what’s being said).
Can anyone clear this up?
[Edit: Thanks to Blue, the kai ken question has been resolved. The owner refers to his dog as "Kai-kun," which is his name, not his breed. The breed of dog isn't mentioned in the video, but both Blue and Losgann have suggested that he may be Hokkaido. Also, Blue let us know that the role of father, which is mainly played by Kai-kun, is occasionally played his sister, Nene-chan, who steps in for the scenes like climbing stairs because Kai-kun is afraid of heights (cute!). Check out the comments associated with this post for pictures of Hokkaido and more detailed information.]
