Akira Love

This is Akira. She is a little rascal let me tell you. Very smart too. You can see that little puppy mind thinking when she tilts her little head at you thinking that her cuteness is going to give her a pass on what you want her to do.  She has nice markings on her body and her feet are sweet reminding me of maple fudge dipped in cream at the tips.  I hope that they stay that way.

Conked out after running around

 Its hilarious watching her go down the stairs.  She did it once chasing after Craig as he went downstairs to the BBQ but since then seems to be hesitant and wanting us to pick her up and take her down.  I think in the next two weeks she will be motoring up and down the stairs with no problems.

Right now she is starting to nibble on things like chair legs so we'll have to start correcting her or risk having the furniture all marked up. She seems to be doing okay with the collar and leash training, and even has some manners, sitting with little instruction. I think there is great potential with this little pup.

New Puppy

For a while now the Mr. and I have been talking about a new dog.  I don’t think there was any discussion about the breed, though I do admit to tossing out a few names just to try to get a raise out of my husband.  It worked every time! In reality I cannot see either of us with a Norwegian Wolfhound or a Yorkie. 

We both like the Shiba Enu’s and had our name down at quite a few places for a puppy.  As their litters are often small, we knew it may be a while before we would get a new dog.  But the Mr. found one that has gotten the sweetest face. The breeder is calling her Sophie and says she eats like a pig. 

Not so keen on the name so we have been scouring Japanese baby names trying to find one that is more suitable to the Japanese heritage of the breed.  Its hard not seeing her in person to choose the right name.  So in a few weeks she will be ours. Arriving all the way from Louisiana. Lets hope she has less hair than the Duck Dynasty fellas who also hail from that state.

The Mr. will have a few weeks with her cause she will beat me home.  But let me tell you summer leave I hope to have a little shadow.  Isn't she just the cutest? I want another one too!
