Ahi & Hilo recovery videos!
Here are some very recent videos of Ahi and Hilo... They are recovering nicely!
Ahi and Hilo - She wants his food... This is a long one, but watch for the moment when Hilo lets her have the rest of his food. Her face is so funny - she does a triple take:
This is classic Ahi - she is doing some oddness with Loa across the gate, then she goes to get Lani to play - Lani's not in the mood. That doesn't stop Ahi tho, she keeps going till we have to break it up and my leg gets bit just as I turn the camera off. Lani has been a bit moody the past few days, I think its the final stage of her heat:
We catch Ahi rubbing in the shower:

Ahi really likes to rub. And she likes to annoy the other pups, hehehe. But it's interesting how good she is around Hilo.That's respect for you.
How's your leg?
ahi and hilo look great!
Big kiss to Hilo and Ahi

Ahi respect Hilo, tho he is younger than her... so I think the same thing will happen with Lani too.
Ahi likes to test the other dogs, she pushes on them until they snap - then she knows how to manipulate them. She is not afraid of the conflict because she knows she can back her actions up if needed.
But you notice in the clip she "pushes" Lani to the point where Lani gets pissed then she submits by falling on her side... Lani just has not learned that is how Ahi submits and she is saying "hey, look, I'm playing, chill out and play!"... Lani will learn - once they can both be in the yard together [supervised obviously] they will learn to play.
Akita seem to have a rule that there is no inside play! Hilo was like this too.

There are lots of theories on why dogs rub, in this case we think it because she has been removed from most of the house during recovery so she is getting all her "people", "pack", and "den" smells back on her.
Our Shikas are really primitive with the rubbing - Loa will go for a walk and find something to rub on, she gets all crazy rubbing on it. Then when we get back to the house the very first thing she does is got to Ahi's crate and rub her self along the side so that Ahi can smell her. It's cute - and its a perfect example of a dog bring smells back to the pack. Its really neat.

do they ever rub on you?? Kitsune will rub on my head like a cat..
I miss Ahi's antics! And the triple take she does is adorable! "Really Hilo? I can have it? Really? Are you sure? I better eat it before he changes his mind!"
I hope the bite on your leg wasn't bad. Not totally surprising given you just shoved your leg inbetween them without claiming the space. Live and learn!
Nice shower Brad, when are Jay and I coming to dog sit?
It's great to see Ahi being her "old" self. How is her knee?
Dorothy - Ack! Hose puckey? I'll count my blessings that Ronan loves laundry and used bath towels.
The triple take was the best xD~
Jen - Ahi rubs on my leg... we have been trying to get it on tape for ever.

The bite on my leg was no big deal... sometimes when I'm holding the camera I try to be the referee too and end up juts kinda getting in the way.
