edited April 2013 in General
Here are some picture of our get together with the Florida NK people! My phone died before Ren and Aggro arrived, but I'm sure Osy has pictures of them!

  • Wow! Jiro is so handsome!

    Of course everyone else looks wonderful too, but Jiro has stolen the show for me today. Sorry kids. :(

    It looks like everyone had a ton of fun. I'm jealous up here in the north east.
  • Jiro was SUPER handsome!!! It was great seeing him and Saki for the first time!
  • :) We had a great time! Jiro really is a very handsome boy. He's an awesome dog too. I only have a few pictures.. I know Osy took a ton and I can't wait to see them! I'll post what I have shortly.
  • OK! Yeah can't wait to see the ones Osy took!
  • Yeah, Osy photos!
  • looks like a great meet up!
  • Im jealous too- what a smartlooking bunch of dogs you got there!
    @Crispy we New Englanders need to get organized is all...
  • Oh i wish i was there!

    Looks like a really great and perfect meet :)
  • @WrylyBrindle We do! Spring is here and we have perfect hiking conditions! Time for a meet-up.
  • I took a crap ton of photos! LOL

    Nice seeing everyone again, and getting to meet all the pups!


    I have a ton of stuff I have to do tonight, so I'll try to get most of the pics up by tomorrow. :) I'll try to grab at least a few to post today, hopefully they came out alright! ~
  • Hopefully this will work, if not, I'll upload them to my server later.

  • Its interesting how strongly you notice the difference between the Nihon Ken and other breeds when you're in a dog park with 7 of them at once. They really do act differently!

  • For those who don't have FB or aren't friends with @Sangmort on there (since the album isn't set to public)

  • Good looking doggies :)
  • Love little Ren. She looks so much like her momma. Glad she is making lots of new friends.
  • Such great pictures! I love all the dogs, they're all great :D

    @knecha Jiro is such a handsome little man! His coat is awesome and his stature was not at all what I was expecting, in a really cool way. He's so long legged and obviously built for loping through forests. And Saki is so pretty! She has the perfect kuro-tora coat. Blake is a real cool guy too, it was good to meet him!

    @Hinata23 ChoCho was awesome as always, she let me give her some light neck scritches too, without a billion treat bribes like in the apartment haha :) Goro really liked Ren too, and she was friendly back to him which was really good to see!

    @Yandharr's Ciqala was such a character this time. She laid claim to the entire dog park and at one point started barking at some dogs about a football field away from us, ran 1/4 of the way to them while barking, then recruited Saru and Saki as if she was like "Saru, Saki, let's roll!" and they all ran over like a little NK Yakuza lmao. Jiro skipped after them to see what was interesting.

    Also there was this one really burly lab sort of dog that ran over and was being a bit too rude for Goro's liking, by slapping ChoCho around with his tail (unintentionally). So he started putting on his mean face while slowly zoning him away from the group, and when the lab walked around the other side of the bench, ChoCho put on her mean face and they slowly zoned him away from the group as a tag team. No fighting of course. It was pretty interesting to watch, especially seeing ChoCho like that lol.

    Last, but not least. Thanks so much for hanging around until @Sangmort, Brian, and I got there (I blame it on Osy, all her fault!). I got held late at work the night before, so ended up arrive at @Sangmort's at 2:30am. We stayed up for another 2 hours letting the dogs get to know each other. 2 hours doesn't seem like a lot, but it was almost 5am at that point heh. Ren made huge steps at Osy's house and at the park :) I'll post about that in her thread.

    Pics!

    image
    Goro took a liking to Ren and followed her around, no tail tucking this time from her (it alternated between up and down with the tip curved outward)

    image
    Goro and Ren sniffing "Saru's" tree. She looks so tiny next to him!

    image
    Saru and his tree. If the Dos Equis man was a dog, it would be Saru.

    ChoCho's serious business face, with Jiro rubbernecking lol

    ChoCho says, "Hey you, you and that jerk tail need to get lost!"

    image
    non-spitz tails just don't agree with poor ChoCho

    Ciqala's giving the camera her mischievous look that says "Heh heh watch me go bark at these fools"

    image
    Clockwise from top: Ciqala, Ren, Misaki (Saki). So many Kai in one place!

    *Ciqala had been at the park since 8am and it was around noon, she wasn't mean to any other dogs just showed some teeth to get the overly physical dogs to stop running up in her face. We left Ren, Ciqala, and Saru in the car together for a few mins while ordering food, no issues whatsoever. Saru actually took a short nap while cuddled up next to Ren.
  • @cezeig - Can't wait to read the update in Ren's thread. Love to hear how that little girl is doing
  • All of these pictures are so great!! Mandi did Jiro blow his coat?? He looks like he SHRUNK! xD Such a handsome boy...and ALL the dogs look great! They look so happy to all be together :)
  • Wow, great pictures! Looks like a fun meet up.
  • Fantastic pictures! It looks like you all had a great time! All of the dogs are awesome.
  • Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun! I'll be there next meetup.

    Osy, stunning photos, as always.
