Pepe on Instagram: "“They don’t love, they tolerate.” Yeah, I’ve heard that one a thousand times. Apparently owning a Shiba is like dating someone who only texts back when Mercury’s in retrograde. Here’s the truth: Shibas love harder than they show. They just have boundaries, emotional, physical, and sometimes interdimensional. They were bred to hunt solo in the Japanese mountains, not to beg for validation on your couch. So when they do choose you, it’s real. No performance. No people-pleasing.
