It is delightful to watch your very wonderful Shiba Inus. Personally I love dogs because they are so endearingly "personal". They will sit down to ensure physical contact to offer companionship, they lick the owner when sensing distress, and solicit petting so their owners can have opportunities to express love/emoting that often resulting in laughter. ( Many people only feel love when there is an outside object that inspires it. Otherwise they rarely smile or laugh on daily basis. ) I think these are some reasons human love dogs. With some exceptions, cats are more impersonal and aloof. My previous cat never gave me the time of day. She was only interested in being fed on time. 😄 I have seen many cats of friends do so. My dog would come and offer companionship and being playful. A great game changer as in changing atmosphere. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Nara and Sora. Nara is so very poise. Sora has grown bigger than Nara in a few months. I appreciate the beautiful scenery of Canadian Rockies you share too. So pristine, peaceful, and nurturing. My favorite mountain region in the world. Many blessings to all of you.
