A couple quick videos of Wraith. This is one of our "rituals" while Brian is working. I plant some treats & kibble around the pool & he gets to run around sniffing them out while I swim. You get to hear some of his "bitching" too LOL
He's about 17 weeks now & still in that "gangly" phase. He was around 28.4lbs when we last weighed him a few days ago at the vets.
[ I'll have some better pics up...once I find my spare battery & charger for my SLR ] ~
Wow, great to see him! I wondered how things were going with him! He's so lean and, yep, gangly now! Wierd, too, to think he's only 28 lbs, and my Oskar is over 30 now (at 13 weeks) but of course they have a very different body shape too--Oskar's all boxy and clumsy with his enormous paws!
Wraith is veyr handsome! Reminds me of Reilly quite a bit. (still) thinking how lucky you are that Wraith did not find Tiamat during his poolside searches!
Thanks guys! He's getting big, but he still hasn't outgrown his collar lol
The bitching...OMG. He LOVES to bitch. About everything and anything. It's cute, but annoying haha
Lisa -- I know. Everyone's always surprised when they ask his weight or age. We're keeping him on the thinner side tho. [ he could probably get real fat real quick, he LOVES food ] Tho the breed in general is pretty lean, unlike AA who are more stocky & muscley ;D
Chrys - SUPER Lucky!!! LOL Tho, I'm a little dissapointed he didn't let us know he was there the whole time! haha ~
Brought Wraith out the other morning to play & snapped some photos of him Tara told me I had to provide new photos, so now, where's Koda & Maymay spam Tara? I held up my end of the bargain!
He's a couple days shy of 19weeks old in these pics:
Not only did I tell you to post pics, I ran to the thread when I saw they were on here!!!
Osy he's so cute! What a happy little man. I'll get Maymay pics this weekend when I pick her up to go hiking. The prince is sleeping in the guest bedroom. He no longer wants to sleep in the same room as his mommy.
Casey, I have no idea. I should ask, Wraith's breeder is also a vet, so I am sure she has theories. I'd feel bad bringing it up now since her death was so recent. [ Arca was Asheley's doggie best friend, probably her favourite of her dogs, & is, naturally, devastated at her loss ] I'll ask when a little more time has passed.
Either way, I'll definitely be extra sensitive about it now when watching Wraith...
Well this was the last thing on earth I expected to see haha. Congrats, he's adorable. Didn't realize you were already this close on getting a shika. Any name ideas yet?

And yes, he has gotten quite big. I love his gangliness right now though. Hehe.

Ohhh, Koda is a BIG BOY now!!! lol ~
He is such a handsome dude!
He's so big!! And I love his coloring!! He's so adorable!! I wish I could play with him, LOL
Her webpage here.
& a video of her...
She got a tumor in her spinal chord, & quickly went down hill...
RIP Arca, you gave me one amazing puppy! ~
She was definitely an amazing dog!
So now for the hard question... Do they believe that this is an inheritable issue? I definitely hope not.
Either way, I'll definitely be extra sensitive about it now when watching Wraith...
no idea if tumors are genetic tho. ~
SURPRISE!
Katja's Aiko had a litter of pups on September 14th. [ my dad's bday! lol ] We got second pick, & chose to snatch up this little guy
Katja was AMAZING through the process of getting him here too, MUCH thanks to her! ~
He'll probably be like Wraith & go a week before we pick a name LOL ~
