Brad, how old is she? She is very beautiful!
Thanx guys!
----
She is 6 months, and so she should be about 60lb... so she is not small! (Hilo is 75lb)
----
The white on her neck is not a problem, brindle Akita have to have white on them, its very important.
What is not desirable (per Japanese judge's standards) is a full white "necklace", it looks like she has one but I don't think it goes all the way around her neck. Even if it does go all the way around her neck it is not a disqualifying fault - tho if we showed her in Japan we would have points taken off... but the "necklace" meets (or I should say is acceptable in) all other standards (including FCI), Japanese judges just don't love it.
She arrives on Saturday. Yes, Hilo is small (but still growing), Lani is our seventh dog.
Ahi's appointment is 9am tomorrow, so we will leave at about 5am tomorrow (Friday). If she has surgery she will be out by 4pm - 5pm... then we drive to Denver and check into a hotel.
We pick Lani up at the airport on Saturday at 3pm - 5pm. We are going to stay overnight in Denver Saturday night and drive home Sunday AM.
Should make for an interesting trip.
what do you do with the pack when you leave?
that must be a hassle!
aw! thats really good!
i'm concerned that we will have to
leave TWO dogs for a week in May - I can't imagine SIX! well, maybe I
can, maybe.. imaging it brings me one step closer to wanting to start
my Shiba Sanctuary!
Have a safe trip tomorrow Brad! I hope everything goes well with Ahi and hopefully she won't need surgery. And have fun picking up Lani (finally!). Try to keep us updated!!
My thoughts are with Ahi. Best of luck tomorrow.
Thanx guys! I will try to give you guys an update as soon as I know anything regarding Ahi... I will have my phone so I should be able to post or IM (or call, obviously).
I will also try to give an update regarding Lani as well! :c)
Jen and I have such mixed emotions right now... we are so worried about tomorrow, we can't talk about it because we both get a little emotional thinking about Ahi going under the knife.
But then, at the same time, we are so excited (and anxious) to get Lani!
I'll try to get you an update ASAP!
