Thanks, guys. I know you understand that our dogs are more than pets. We love them with every heartbeat, every breath. I know our dogs think the sun rises and sets in our eyes, but frankly, I think it's a mirror they're looking at.

I can't seem to get the picture icon to help post a pic in the forum, so the best I could do was put a picture of him in Dropbox. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3666502/IMG_0468.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3666502/P1000021.JPG

Lindsay - that sounds right! I knew it was a S something. Liver checks out okay - I had a full blood profile drawn before the dental, and they ran fluids during the dental, too. He is one skinny little dude, though. 36.8 pounds and 21.5 inches tall.…

You're right - it's less. I think the whole tablet is like 5 mcg or something. Pre-caffiene this morning. He's fine now. Thanks. The vet has it in his charts about the reaction. It's just something we need to make sure every vet clinic is aware of …

I think Brad has hit on something here. I can't speak for another Shikoku, but I can speak for Ronan. He's what I call primitively skittish. New things are usually spooky to him. A friend has wolfdogs, and I've noticed the same pacing, circling beha…

I'll post picture of Ronan and Tasha as soon as I remember how. Tasha is really starting to look old. Twelve! Can you believe it? I so wish she was young again. She still plays, though. Still sweet as ever, too. Ronan is a real handsome fellow. And …

I've had 2 Akitas 1 American and I suspect Tasha is a Tweenie due to her size. I also have a Shikoku. The easiest? Depends on what you mean by easiest. Ronan is easiest to pick up, bathe. He's cheaper to feed and healty as can be. Jack, the American…

Impressive indeed! Ronan would have been LONG gone. He's a runner and an escape artist. Any suggestion on curbing that? LOL! Tasha is the good dog. I can leave gates and doors open, tell her to not cross the threshold, and she's stellar. We can dr…

Hey Brad! Book #3 is really doing well. That is, I just started to query it and there are 2 agencies looking at it. I won't jinx myself, but one of them seems very interested. Book #2 is still out with a third agency. Fingers and toes are crossed. …

Jack was an ambassador for the Akita. He stood 28 inches tall, weighed 120 pounds and had a solid black mask. Rather intimidating. But he was stellar around dogs and people. But, like all of you have said, Akitas don't take crap. They give respect, …

I get the same thing. "You know that coyotes mixes in Georgia are illegal, right?" "He's a Shikoku. He's not a coyote." "Well, sure he's one of those little mop dogs!" Wink wink. "That's Shikoku, not Shitzu.&quo…

LJ - I write under my real name. blog here: MichelleMuto.blogspot.com. Can't say I've posted anything interesting yet, but everyone is welcome to drop by and post about reading or writing. I come here for my dog posting fix. Not published - yet, bu…
-
Is there a sewer nearby? Jack wouldn't walk near a sewer. It just sounded different, and I suppose he didn't think a hallow sound should come from beneath his feet. Horses have been known to spook over certain colors. Yes, some dogs can predict c…

DOGSWELL JERKY - both the duck and chicken originate from China. FREERANGE - Chicken wraps from China. NATURE'S VARIETY - chicken, duck, and beef from U.S., Venison & lamb from Australia and New Zealand. Rabbit - China. HONEST KITCHEN - all …

Good tip! We had Ronan's scanned, and it read just fine. It wouldn't read last year because the system the vet clinic uses didn't recognize chips from Canada. The system has been updated and now it reads just fine.
-
He's gorgeous! I also remember this litter from an email from Katja a few months ago. Adorable! I have Tenji's brother, Ronan. Ronan chewed walls, sheets, pillows, window sills... I haven't done much work with Ronan lately, but need to. He's supe…
-
In some respects, Ronan has done well today. In others, not so great. When I had Jack neutered, he was back to his regular self the very next day. Chalk one up for Akita pain thresholds and being typically stoic. Ronan keeps wanting to lick, and …
-
I try to be a good mom. The clinic had a lot going on - a bloat and another dog vomiting blood in the waiting room, so I suppose an extra hand for the little stuff like holding a leg for shaving doesn't hurt and frees up an extra tech to work on mor…

We're home. He took F O R E V E R to come out of the anesthesia. Everyone is exhausted. I have him curled up on a dog bed next to the computer and he's fast asleep. He'll probably sleep most of the night. Yeah, I watched. And I was eating cookies …
-
Ronan update: I watched the surgery and it looked like it went well. He's snoozing right now. He'll be ready to go home in about an hour or so.... I'll be back.
-
LOL! I'll be sure to leave Tasha at home then. She really is the best dog ever. I don't think there's ever been a person who's met her that wasn't swept away by her sweet as sugar from heaven personality. Everyone loves Tasha.
-
Brad - where are you going to be? I hear you've got new pups! I'm DYING to hear about them!
-
Lindsay - you want to really laugh? Ronan passed his CGC with flying colors. He'll do anything, any command for any stranger who holds the leash. When he sees people he lights up - he loves them. He just freaks to the nines when they poke and prod. …
-
It's been good to drop in. I've missed so much! New people, new dogs, and it appears Brad & Jen have more dogs now???? I've taken the past couple weeks off from writing (except to edit a crit partner's MS). I'm already having withdrawals and pl…
-
Thanks, everyone! My understanding of how laser neutering is done: A small incision is made at the rear of the scrotum (harder for the dog to lick after surgery). The testicles are then manipulated and 'birthed' through that opening. All cutting is…
