Kyuubi (Haru's pup #2)
First off I want to thank Brad and Jen for letting Kevin and I be blessed with one of their first Kai pups born in their home. I also want to thank Shig for helping Brad and Jen with their preservation efforts. We all know how much Haru meant to Shig and to be able to have one of her pups is an honor.
So we were a tad bit late to the airport to pick him up. LA traffic sucks
But when we got him he was so happy! He was jumping up on us and giving us licks. It was the total opposite of when we picked up Mika. She was TERRIFIED of us. Kyuubi on the other hand wanted to play with us! We took him to a grassy area in front of the cargo area where we picked him up and I tried to get some pics, but they didn't turn out very well. Promise I'll put up pics soon.
Now, for meeting Mika. I wanted her to eat dinner and relax a bit before introducing them. Didn't help that Kyuubi started crying when we came home and Mika heard him. So she refused her dinner. We still didn't let her see him. We let Kyuubi eat some dinner and let him relax and check out the house a bit. After about an hour we let Mika out to see him. She didn't know what to make of him at first. He went up to her and licked her and she just was stiff. Naturally, seeing her a bit tense we separated them for a bit. She came up and sniffed him and wanted to play. She was being a bit vocal, which scared Kyuubi so he ran into my lap to hide from her. She continuously tried to get him to play and when he finally jumped out of my lap to go after her she got scared and ran under the table lol. This went on for a little bit, til they became comfortable with each other. I foresee them being BFFs very soon!
Here's a short vid of them playing

How is he doing today? How did he do last night?

The crying in the crate only lasts for about 5 mins at the most. Then he chills out and goes to sleep. He got to meet some ppl today. We went to the local University plaza cause I was craving some bubble tea. Kevin stood outside and when I came back out there was a kid petting him, a man asking Kevin if he was an akita lol, and two girls "oooing" and "ahhing" at him. I told Kevin if he was single I'm sure those girls would have been trying to seduce him to get to Kyuubi! lol
He has a vet appointment in an hour. I'll try to get pics up later this evening/night. So far he's been very CHILL and likes to cuddle with me!
Now to start the plans for a socal meet...
I look forward to see you guys one of these days soon.
Here are some pics -
Looks like him and Mika are getting along great.
Oh, he's also more gorgeous in person. Pictures do not do him justice.
The last picture is awesome.
I think Sosuke's got spots on the bottom like Juno, right?

Koda had two smal tear drops on the top of his tongue at their age. Now he is all spotted up.
