Nope, no trouble - she is great about her nails being trimmed - the Shiba's toenails just grow freakishly fast in this climate. It's really strange. Believe it or not her toenails were trimmed last week! Maui got a trim then too and today we noticed his need to be cut again - this doesn't happen w/ the other breeds - just the Shibas.
The only issue we have with Kaia right now is her inability to lose weight - we have her on a strict walk schedule [two 30+ minute walks a day] and a diet, but she just will not lose her little gut. It's frustration. We thought her weight loss issue was due to her Thyroid issue, but she has been on the meds for a few months now and we have had her retested to make sure we are dosing correctly... But it seems it's something else. *sigh*
OMG... cuteness overload! Great shots, I wish I could do the same! Where were the other ladies (Loa, Lani, and Ahi)??
Brad -- Just curious, is Kaia on Levothyroxine for her Thyroid? Our Pom is on Levo for his Thyroid but we never saw any changes to his weight from the meds, I've only noticed he has quite some dandruff now whenever he gets shaved down. And I totally haven't researched hypothyroidism at all (like I'm sure you have), and I don't know how many different kinds of meds there are but just throwing it out there as an idea? I realize as I am typing this that I can totally be off-base here...
Brad: Great pictures, even of Kona! Looks like I just need some fancier lenses for photographing my black doggie! Love all the pictures, and especially Masha after wood pile attack! lol
