Feeling down? Here’s a Shiba who can empathize.
Sometimes life gives us too many lemons, yet spares us no sugar with which to make our lemonade. In times like that, sometimes it’s all you can do to keep from throwing yourself on the floor right then and there and just refusing to move. Much like this little guy.
This Shiba Inu, named Yū (whose kanji name 優 means “gentle”), seems to have a lot of those moments, if the photos his person posts on the sweetly-named Twitter account @always_with_yu are any indication.

But as they say, after the rain comes a rainbow, and with a good friend by your side you’re sure to find something to smile about!

If you’d like to see some other adorable Shiba Inu displaying a lack of enthusiasm for daily activities, you might want to check out the dog that’s quick to shut down its owner’s kisses or the pup that got turned into an embroidered brooch after refusing to go for a walk.
