Fuji's at her "Farewell Spa Day"...

Well, Fuji goes to her new home on the 7th! She's going to the PERFECT home for her, we are super excited (for her). She'll be living with one other NK (a Shikoku) and have lots of "people time", which is her favorite. She just didn't get enough here since our attention is shared with other dogs - Fuji is a "people person", she wants to be by her owners side all the time.

Anyway, she went to her "spa treatment" today. She really needed a bath, she's blowing her coat like crazy! Here is a pic from just a day ago...

Jen had brushed her the day before! Its nuts how much hair comes off these dogs, especially the Akita.

It will be hard to see her go, she's been our bed warmer for along time, but I think this is best for her. We know she wants more non-shared owner attention and we think she deserves it.

We'll continue to hear updates on her as her owners are long-time members of the forum and good friends of ours. I'll let them reveal themselves to you tho...

I'll post some pics when she comes home from the spa... And when I say "spa", I really mean she went to a dog spa, not just some normal groomer. That's not good enough for Fuji, she is a queen in her own mind. LOL

    I think you can even see a little of her hair on the ground in that pic from her brushing the day before. LOL

    I was secretly hoping I'd be able to steal her someday but I'm happy she'll be in a great place with lots of one-on-one attention like you want for her and now. :)

    Got a Fuji update from Dorothy...
    "Hi Brad and Jen,

    Fuji is doing great! She and Tenji have become really good buddies. They love their walks together and they play and run around the yard together. Fuji has met our resident desert tortoise, Daisy, and she was very cool. She looked, sniffed, and walked away unlike Tenji who tries to bite and then gets frustrated and barks.

    Fuji really prefers sleeping in her cage. When Paul wakes her at 5:30 she will sleep for another half to three quarters of an hour and then she trots down the hall and jumps on the bed to wake me. Tenji is okay with that, which is amazing. She even curled up and slept in his bed and he was cool with that too. I was more worried about how he would accept her but she is a very confident smart girl who has Tenji all figured out. She has been so good for Tenji and he is mellowing out. She went after a largish dog who got too close to her on our morning walk and Tenji was very impressed as the other dog turned tail and ran home. This was the first time we saw her stand up to a dog as she has/had been super patient with our little dogzilla.

    She is super affectionate and we all (3) love her. Sassy's not too sure yet."
    *Tenji is their Shikoku and Sassy is their cat. Fuji had never met a cat (or a tortoise) before. :o)

    Oh Fuji; enjoy your new adventures! She is a queen... I absolutely loved the farewell before and after pics... Brad: you and Jen are so sweet to your pups, and congrats to Fuji on her new home. So good to hear things are going very well!

    Thanks all! It's a big relief to hear that Fuji is doing well with Tenji. We knew she would love Dorothy & Paul (who wouldn't?) but I think we were all worried about how Tenji would accept her - its seems they are on the road to being best buds tho! :o)

    Realizing that we were not giving Fuji 100% of what she needed to be happy was very hard and humbling.
