Kitsu spam!
Hi everyone! I keep meaning to become more active on this forum but life has been just crazy the past couple years. We're now in Washington D.C. and Kitsu is almost five years old. I was going though my digital photos this morning and put together a bunch of cute Kitsu pics for your enjoyment. I also have some videos that I'll try to post soon....
In puppy jail:
Kitsu and Zara:
Cooling off - summer in Florida!
Gangly teenager:
The scrawny-and-gangly phase (about five months old here):
Being a good dog with Zara (normally her fave chew toy):
A rare moment of peace with Allie (our dear departed Elkhound):
All grown up (one year old):
Sulking about the impending bath:
Napping position #1 (aka 'the world is my gynecologist'):
Slightly more elegant napping position #2:

@Hinata23 - She's definitely sulking, not sleeping. Note the dirty look she's throwing me.
@cdenney - Where in DC are you? We're in Bethesda - would love a meet up some time!
Here come the videos....
First, a video to prove that she is a normal and good doggie when she wants to be (I am just out of frame holding a very high-value toy):
This is a mild one on the weirdness scale, but I guess I'm still used to our previous dog (a Norwegian Elkhound) who was incredibly food-motivated. I suspect that what's going on when she 'noses' her bowl around (or tries to nose the carpet up over the bowl) is an attempt to hide or bury her food for later:
The growl-purr - she does this only when she's very relaxed and I rub her ears or nose with my face. In this vid we're also having a little growly back-and-forth conversation. The growling can occasionally get very intense and almost scary (sometimes she even bares her teeth a bit) but it always culminates in her kissing my face and sighing happily...
I would say that she is a talker in that growly video. I have one of those too, she makes all sorts of noise, some woo woos, but some that sound like growling but really are not growling, just her talking. And then the kisses like Kistu gave.
