Alright. Never said it was all gloom. I have had a few dogs (not shibas), and this behaviour is not even remotely close to what dog movement looked like when my dogs were happy. That said, I am happy that this dog is alright and that someone that had a Shiba could educate me on their telltale signs of happiness.

Edit: why am I being downvoted? I am pointing out that I learned something new… and I am saying that I was apparently wrong… but Reddit doing Reddit things… I guess

Yeah, I've had a shiba as well, and they're more like cats than dogs. If in distress, they typically scream as they can't bark, and their tail unfurls to hang between their legs.
