  • It seems like Hana has a little bit of a mild seasonal allergy. This year I feel like it only got bad because she irritated it when we were at the vet she had to get muzzled and was trying to pull it off and scratched her muzzle area. Her muzzle (an…
  • @mapletwinkie haha ohhh I wish! Most likely I'll be avoiding places where there will be lots of dogs for a while. Hana wouldn't be able to cope with the stress and Yezo would probably want to eat (or get eaten by) all the other dogs.

  • @whobitme Hana and Yezo are well!! He's got some of his fur back from blowing his coat so he doesn't look/feel as naked anymore. Also he's very muscular. He's like a compact furry ball of muscle. He and Hana get along very well. They LOVE to chase…

  • @whobitme hahahah yyyeahh.. he loves chewing on that shoe.. and I let him because it's one of those things he loves and it doesn't get destroyed. He's destroyed a few slippers already, but this one is lasting. Kinda embarrassing. Hahah. This is one …

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLSbHIocaJ8 Here's a vid of Yezo and Hana playing today. When Yezo is outside, he doesn't really play much with Hana. Most of the play is initiated by Hana. She gets him to chase her and stuff. Yezo would rather smell…

  • Ohhh I love that black and tan one. Looks epic. I really like the first one too. ahhh they all look like devils tho. After Yezo, all I can see is "devil.. devil... punk... devil...super devil.. "
  • @hinata23 hahaha i know right! that would be perfect! ------ Also just uploaded this vid of today's snowfall. It was a little depressing after such a long winter, and yesterday was really warm I didn't need to wear my parka.. but I'm happy the do…

  • @staticnfuzz You're right! Brad probably knows best, but I thought I'd post here anyway and maybe Brad can pitch in with others. :) Hana does come to me for rescue when she's had enough, and I put her up on a side table where she has her own littl…

  • Thanks all for your support and advice! I super appreciate them! I need some advice again! So Yezo started doing this "holding" thing on Hana. He stands over her, and holds her neck. I'm not sure how hard he's doing it, but he's got a rea…

  • @shikoku thank you, yes, I believe I was VERY lucky. Also, Yezo is lucky he's a tough little dog. We'll have to be extra sure there's nothing like that he can swallow.. I don't even know where he got it from :S @wrylybrindle @hinata23 @navydog than…

  • SO!!!! It seems like there WAS a very serious reason for his lack of appetite/no energy and his loose stool (I confirmed it was his). It was kinda subtle, and the next day his appetite and energy level came back so I wasn't as worried. BUT this mor…

  • @wrylybrindle well hopefully it's just hana going into heat and not something else. and yeahh.. that's kinda what I would've thought, but maybe the starving part is contributing to his low energy like navydog said. --- also, here's a vid and phot…

  • @navydog true! that makes a lot of sense... thank you!
    in Yezo Comment by thegela February 2014
  • @wrylybrindle oh good to know Yezo's not alone in his gross habit. I've read about other dogs doing it, but wasn't quite sure if it was okay. Also, I read about Matsu blowing his coat on facebook! haha! I didn't think it was a big deal either, but I…

  • @navydog hmm yes the thought has crossed my mind. I was projecting another couple months, but that could explain his lack of appetite.. but so soon? She's not even bleeding yet :S

  • Hello, just thinking it was time for an update. There have been some changes! First of all, Yezo has been gaining weight and growing really fast. He came to me at 13 lbs in December and is now 26 lbs!! It's pretty astonishing. He also started to …
    in Yezo Comment by thegela February 2014
  • @wrylybrindle Yes I LOVE his thick paws! His paws are funny! They're kinda like a snow rabbit's paw, where there's a lot of fat and thick fur along the back of his lower legs. Especially his lower hind legs. He's pretty bushy all over but I noticed …

  • Thanks everyone for your input! For now, I'll let him be when he's peeing, and hope he starts lifting his leg when he gets older. Also, his potty training is still improving! He consistently let's us know he needs to go out with a little whine. He…

  • Yay Juno!! I admire and love Juno SO much! Her personality is amazing!
  • awwww I looove their relationship!! (heart)
  • Katana is growing nicely!! I can see him start to fill out a little! :) I'm glad he's doing well and that his manners are improving! :) Do you take him to a class? What have you taught him so far?
  • Here's a video of Hana and Yezo becoming friends. They love playing outside. Hana is ridiculously fast so chase games are usually Yezo chasing Hana. I don't think he'll ever be faster than her. Yezo is relentless. Reminds me of what I read from th…

  • @brada1878 So simple! Thank you! Now to actually coordinate that...
    in Yezo Comment by thegela December 2013
  • Yup totally thought of this video. What a punk! I think I'm mostly worried about him "practicing" the behaviour and I'm not sure what I can do to discourage it (if I can) while he adjusts to Hana.

  • So clicker training is pretty smooth with Yezo. His focus is pretty good. Sometimes he'll wait long enough he eventually lies down because he gets bored, but he's still focused on me. Also, @brada1878 I noticed his dislike for energetic dogs today…
