The "Kaiju Re-branding" Thread (aka "Kaiju's PR Campaign")
So, yea, I know I bitch about Kaiju a lot. I've made this thread to share with everyone all of Kaiju's good qualities and traits, because he does have a lot of them, I just don't share them very often.
First, let me explain why I complain about him a lot. Basically, due to his high-drive and "tough guy" temperament, he requires more management than many of our other dogs. In a situation where you have multiple dogs (10+) ANY DOG that requires more one-on-one management than the average is labeled as a "problem child", whether they deserve that title or not. This is the case with Kaiju. If the situation were different and we had less dogs to manage I'd probably be totally taken by Kaiju and his Shikoku-ness... like I was with Ahi... I bet I'd complain about Ahi too if she was a puppy now and we had to keep her with all these dogs.
Anyway, so what I am trying to say is that Kaiju is not a "bad dog", he doesn't have a "bad temperament", he's actually a wonderful dog, he just requires a lot of extra day-to-day management that many of our other dogs do not require. And so I bitch about him a lot. It's less him, and more me that has an issue.
This thread will be dedicated to sharing all his good qualities in the form of pictures, stories, and videos. I have many, but I'm still aggregating them together to share with you - but stay tuned!

The obvious first thing to say about Kaiju is that he is a VERY NICE LOOKING Shikoku Ken...

For new people, you should post his puppy pics. He was the most handsome puppy I have ever seen. He reminded me of Scrappy Doo.
I actually like hearing about Kaiju's "problems" for some reason. Maybe since Conker's recently gotten a mean streak in him that he didn't have before... Also, I tend to like "bad" dogs more than the good ones anyways XD
It is nice to know that Kaiju isn't all bad though, and I'm looking forwards to more updates when you get around to them!
I love Kaiju. I man-handled him and Ritsu when they first arrived and knew he was just going to be a handful. He had a lot of energy! I never really considered him a "monster" considering he just sounds so much like my Kurenai. I imagine him to be intense, playful, driven, impulsive, and mouthy when he plays. Quintissential Shikoku if you ask me. :-)

Gen! Say the word and we need our lil' hellion travel partners to have a go at it sometime! I'm sure they'll play in a manner that would make Kaiju look like an angel:-)
He was an uber-cute puppy!

If I heard about every Shikoku like how we hear about Kaiju, I'd want one in a heartbeat (and he and Mura are responsible for most of my Shikoku-crush). I am absolutely for Team Kaiju.
You might ask: why include this video in Kaiju's re-branding campaign? Sure it's cute the way he paws the tarantula, but the real reason I included it is because of what happened off-camera...
Shortly after this video Kaiju eats this tarantula. Yea, you read that right - he ATE THE TARANTULA. You know why? Because he's Kaiju, and he's a badass. He eats mutha f'n live tarantulas for fun! That's just how badass he is.
Sure it made him sick, but that's whatever. You see, if Kaiju wants to eat live tarantulas and then violently vomit it up, then later spray tarantulas butt-funk all over his crate, the barn, and Ritsu, he can do that. Because's he's Kaiju, and he's a badass. He does what he wants. That's just how a badass operates.
You see, "Kaiju" (his brand) isn't just about being cute, doing yoga poses as a puppy, or kissing Chase... It's also about being a badass too. Learn from him.

Kaiju, the Tarantula Slayer
Kais: "...right. You're doing... what? Yeah, okay, let us know how that works out for you."
Kaiju: "Look, guys, Back up. I've got this. Watch this shit. It's crazy. This beast ain't got nothin' on me. Don't be jealous."
That's okay though, it just means you have to post more stuff!
