Kiyomi has joined our family!: Photo updates 8/14/14
We have now transitioned from "soon to be Shikoku parents" to Shikoku puppy slaves. Kiyomi joined us last Wednesday when we picked her up in Courtenay. We spent 12 hours on the road, on the sea and in the air with her and she was fantastic the whole time.
Our 5 yr old Shiba Inu, Kuma, wasn't too happy when we introduced them, but after a few days being together they get along pretty well. Of course that is until Kiyomi decides she needs to be in his face constantly. It's a lot of fun watching them play together.
Kiyomi, Kina(@shikoku31) and Tenchu(@Racie) are from the same litter.
For now here are a few pics of Kiyomi:

Husband said no to a 3rd dog. But he's ok with my dog-sitting other NKs.
So who was the most excited in your family? Pretty sure your daughter was crazy about getting another puppy.
We also have a 5 year old Shiba, he and Tenchu are working on getting along. So far the Shiba just runs upstairs when he is fed up with Tenchu.
I got a red snake similar Kiyomi's for Meitou, too. He chewed off half its face and the tip of the tail, but he loves it.
@Bootz, you are right. My daughter has wanted a pup for a while, especially since we got Kuma at about 1 year old. She's quite happy now although she wanted Kiyomi at the furry potato stage.
@Racie, for the first couple of days, we kept the contact between Kiyomi and Kuma limited to a few minutes. He wasn't too pleased with her. Kiyomi bugged the heck out of Kuma and we let him "correct" her. It sounded much worse than it was. He didn't nip her or anything, but he got his message across. She's more wary about when to approach him now, although we keep the two apart so that he can have his space. They play together well, but only when Kuma wants to. She's at the point now where she just follows him around. If he doesn't want her around he lets her know.
@WhoBitMe, Kiyomi really likes that snake. It's actually Kuma's snake but he doesn't seem to care if she plays with it. Kuma used to play with the snake a lot, but he rarely touches it now. We have a Mr Bill toy and she bit his nose off. Her favorite toys right now are the Kong braids toys, one is Kuma's chewed up moose, a moose head and just rope strands at this point, and the other is her little red cardinal braid.
@poltergeist, too funny! I think you hit the nail squarely on the head! I'd wouldn't doubt that Kuma was thinking exactly that.
@poltergeist I was thinking that too….like, "when is this thing leaving"
So cute
Kiyomi is growing fast! She has doubled her weight since we picked her up 17 days ago (now ~13 lbs) and she is quite a bit taller. Should have measured her when we got home... Lots of work keeping up with her, but so much fun...
More Kiyomi spam...
This is video of Kuma and Kiyomi playing two days after we came home.
More video 11 days later...
My first bone!
Zzzzzzzzzz
Ok. Wow THATS your backyard?!?! NICEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
More Kiyomi spam. Pictures of Kiyomi and Kuma playing in the backyard. Kiyomi is about 15 wks in these pix and growing like a weed... She's about 15.5+ inches at the withers and somewhere around 20 lbs. She's a little fireball, but so much fun...
@haalumni, I think we're keeping the first clone
Thank you @keroline33 and Kira_Inu
