Yamabushi no Kimber -- Update and Snow Fun 2-8-16
We picked up Kimber not too long ago, and it already feels like we've had her forever. She is from the recent KumixAkashi litter. At just over 8 weeks old, she already has quite the character. She LOVES her "sister" Kona, and Kona has grown to love her too. It took a couple days for Kona to warm up to her (let her cuddle with her, etc...) as well as learning to play gentle, but she got the hang of it and they are already a great team 
I'm really excited to see them grow together and learn together.
It's been neat seeing the personality differences so quick already between them too...Kimber is MUCH more brave and fearless than Kona was (and is)...she is super feisty, while Kona was always much more mellow and cautious about things...they're a good complement to each other...and they LOVE playing together!
And apparently Kimber likes watching TV too haha
Here are some pictures documenting her journey home, and her settling in:
At Fairplay:
On the way home:
And, finally home (lots of sleepy pictures haha)!:
And, this is her favorite hiding spot...under the coffee table...Kona's used to be under the ottoman, which Kimber likes too, but not as much as this :P
Sorry for so many pictures!! Can't wait to see what she'll be like when she gets older...AND can't wait for her to play with other puppies in puppy class soon!!

@tmd...here's a video from just now haha, and a couple pics of them too in the middle of it taking a break :P
And for shits and giggles, here's a video I took of her watching TV...she's so funny, and vocal. lol
@kgima they wrestle NON stop haha, I have to stop them because Kimber gets so hot and forgets how thirsty she is!
@tmd, Kona gets so upset when Kimber hides and she can't get to her...before she would just try to paw her out, now she's getting more clever
What a great looking pair you have. Every time I see lovely Kais I am so tempted to get one...but I think Indie, the slightly crabby older Shiba curmudgeon, might not like that.
And thank you! Awwee...you know, with how patient Kais are, I think if you *really* wanted one, it would end up working out ok. But then I'm thinking, if you had a Kona as a puppy being introduced to your Shiba, it would work perfect. Kona was SO quiet and kept to herself...now Kimber on the other hand...she does NOT take cues very well yet haha...that would be more difficult. :P
And I think a Kai can work with a curmudgeonly Shiba, or at least it is working in our house. It would NOT have worked as a puppy at all....my older Shiba, Toby, hates puppies, so he did not get to meet Leo as a pup. But now that Leo is a year old and more mellow, they hang out in their fashion, which means they are out in the yard together, and they pretend they don't see each other, but they both are actually following one another around. So Toby, the old cranky Shiba finally has a friend!
To start, here's a video of her on a typical day now with Kona haha. She likes to Zoom around quick and doesn't care what she runs into :P
here's her when she could still kinda fit under the ottoman, which she now loves to sleep on top of, and one under the coffee table:
here's her with Kona on top of it haha
And a few more randoms from a little bit ago..
one of her while we were waiting for my keys at the car wash :P
and here are some currents of her (and sis
Sorry for so many, and for so many of her SLEEPING lol!! But that's the only time she stays still haha (and she sleeps a lot after going nuts for a while :P). Love the little ball of crazy! SO much.
