Calling to order the 2nd meeting of the NKAA.
Hi, I'm Osy, & I'm a Nihon Ken Addict
& I currently have...0 nihon ken!!! [ boo!!! ]
But, I was thinking the other day & realized I've now met 4 / 6 of the nihon ken!
Akita [ JA & AA ], Shiba, Shikoku, & Kai! All that's left are Kishu & Hokka!
Now, someone send me a puppy to love on LOL ~

He just has a "naughty" look to him ~
Well, we already did the 30 hour drive to NM, maybe next year we'll tack on an extra 6 hours & go to So. Cal! haha ~
Everyone send their dogs to Osy! LOL ~
Seriously though, I'm getting major bags under my eyes. Haru just got through the harsher part of puppyhood and I picked up Baron. He's just getting through the puppy stage and the Kai boys are here. Tomorrow I'm off picking up two Kai girls, so for a few days at least I'm going to lose my mind. Doesn't help that the wife is taking off to Australia for 2 weeks. I seem to remember her doing that a few weeks after I picked up Haru.
Whatever, it's all worth it.
In the meantime, I've been reading this forum obsessively since I found it....got to get my NK fix somehow! The Shibas just keep me sane....or is it insane?
TheWalrus, you've got a houseful! No wonder you're not getting any sleep!
I want a shikoku (or shiba) sooo bad!! and what makes it worse is that there are no NK I know of living around me for me to go get my fill of them...
One day...I will sneak off in the middle of the night & take everyone's pups. Then they can come live with me in Dog World ~
Casey - We got to experience Maui blowing. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was. [ at least...it was on the same level as dad's cat haha ] ~
I'm sure it varies.
It's funny, tho, as like I said, Dad's cat is HORRIBLE when it comes to shedding. She sheds ALL the time, PLUS she's a White cat & hubby & I...90% of our clothes are black.
We actually keep those "sticky" rollers in our cars to get the fur off all the time. I was over there today & Halo literally coated me & turned my black pants white. LOL
So...I'm used to it. Fur in the food, drinks, couches, fur fur everywhere! No matter HOW much you vacuum, it sticks! & ever since going on Orijen / Evo she's had MORE thick luscious fur. [ which then sheds and comes onto us! ]
I'm kind of looking forward to only having to deal with future pups blowing a few months out of the year & getting it done vs all year LOL ~
Thankfully, I suppose...I DO have a doggie limit...can't own anymore more then I can fit in my truck at one time!
Dog people are CRAZY! Look at us! It's surprisingly difficult to not want to sneak in a Kai puppy along with my Shikoku imports...but then I'd end up with a ridiculous amount of puppies at a single time =(0-0)=.
Hey, now I know where to send my dogs when they drive me insane! Osy, you want to take Kotomi and Lynxiene for a couple of weeks? They've both been extremely whiney and vocal recently =/. I'll ship them out to you tomorrow! =p Don't worry...Lynxiene is a just a Nihon Ken on acid!
----------------
Wow, Shigeru! Perhaps you can have the cats "puppy-sit" while you go to Australia with your wife!
-----------------
Araks, don't you live decently close to me??? You can puppy-sit Kotomi for me =].
----------------
Brad, you can't even fit all your dogs in your signature! lol...or did JJ go back to her owner/breeder?
You can do what my friend did - get a full size van and customize it. :-) It'll expand your limit. My friend can fit 4 crates that are accessible from the sliding side door and 2 more that are accessible from the back door. If she packs it a certain way, she can also get several x-pens, chairs, an ez-up, a cooler, and a cart. She also has eye-bolts screwed underneath the van as handly tether points.
Don't encourage me! I might just have to invest into a trailer. I can already fit 6-8 dogs into my truck and realisticly speaking...training wise...I can't have anymore then 8 dogs. And 8 dogs is kinda "pushing it" but I can manage...
...I *was* gonna stop at 4 dogs, but I can live and train comfortably with 6 dogs.
I definitely feel that this NKAA meeting serves to SUPPORT this addiction, LOL. I KNEW it!
Corina, & the rest of the forum, feel free to send dogs to me to watch for a few weeks at any time. [ it's cheaper than boarding! ] ~
Jessika - lol, the puppies should arrive *hopefully* this Fall but could be as late as early next year it depends on when the litters are born and what puppies are in them. Who are the lucky persons? Nice try! You will find out in good time...that's for them to reveal not me =]. I love surprises, don't you? -grins-
