Hachi <3 - the combo of desensitization of John's presence, Rescue Remedy and classical music seem to be working together a bit..

Also, I wanted to post some videos of shibas playing together for Katie (aka Honey's mom). Notice how hectic it can be, with the snarkies and stuff, but not chaotic or mean. Its funny - when we used to do the dog park, several owners of other dogs would be all "Um, your dogs are fighting?". No, no they aren't. Tsuki and Kitsune: Tsuki, Hachi and some Kitsune (not a great video, but you get it) And this is one of my favorite Youtube'rs, RedShibaMan. His Shibas are awesome, and this is a fun little video. There is always one instigator!

Hachi is such a beautiful, wild looking girl. Black and tan shibas are my favourite.

## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-10-04T15:31:26.000Z
They're looking great! Tsuki is one sneaky Shiba, the way she stops the play, passes Kitsune like nothing is happening and pounces on him is funny.

## LoveMyMylie · 2008-10-04T16:02:59.000Z
I love the picture of Hachi on the stairs, so cute

## baanton · 2008-10-04T16:31:55.000Z
Thanks for the videos--- Hachi is a cutie, as are your other dogs. In the last video the Shiba's alll have such long fur... seems longer than other Shiba's I've seen... Maybe in a cold climate?

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-04T20:43:24.000Z
Hey Bev - I think redshibaman's shibas are in the Netherlands? And they are all show shibas, so they have the best kind of coats! Tsuki is a sneak, I love her for it! And Hachi is a doll, sometimes she can be so sweet,

but she hates the camera, she won't even look at it unless I trick her (compared to Tsuki the Ham!).. so any good shots I get of her are pretty rare.

## _dlroberts · 2008-10-04T21:13:02.000Z
Great spam Jen! That was relatively calm Shiba play, at least compared to this house. :-)

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-05T01:01:30.000Z
It was on the calmer side, as they are never crated anymore and tend to tire each other out throughout the day, there isn't any real pent up energy for major snarkies but you get the idea I hope :)) I wanted to add this one.. we never ever dress up the dogs but someone sent us Halloween items, and we HAD to put it on Tsuki for funsies. She's never had a bandanna on before today! Her disgust was adorable! The good one:

What lovely spam!

## Honey's mom · 2008-10-05T11:20:36.000Z
HEY!!!! Thanks so much for the videos!!! I really was worried when Honey started to show her teethwhen she played with the hubby and kids. But after hearing from all of you guys (and seeing the videos) I know that honey is just being her normal Shiba self!!!! The pics are GREAT!!! You have such an AMAZING pack!

## lindsayt · 2008-10-05T13:14:20.000Z
They are awsome! Tsuki is beautiful.

## baanton · 2008-10-05T15:08:39.000Z
Tsuki and the bandana --- Sounds like a title for a great story, I think! Her expressions speak volumes! Thanks for the pics ---- love them!

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-10-06T01:06:19.000Z
Great spam! Hachi is really cute in those first pics, she is very fluffy. :o)

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-06T10:54:27.000Z
Thanks :) Hachi is super fluffy compared to the other two - I actually had a question that I should post separate.. she seems to be losing all her undercoat, her hair feels more rough, like guard hairs only now, and its October and steadily getting colder. When do adult shibas begin to get their winter coat??

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-10-06T11:06:53.000Z
I don't really know, but for the first time since I've had Jazz, she's actually shedding - her coat is super thin right thin and is mos def rougher.

## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-10-06T11:11:50.000Z
Motos winter coat is starting to come in now. Miko seems to be just starting. We are considerably further north than you. His coat was pretty sad a few weeks ago. Miko is harder to tell. She is only 8 months, and it isn't like I have much to compare her to.

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-06T11:15:47.000Z
Well that is reassuring, i think those two gals are a lot alike! Is it like she has very little soft fuzzy undercoat? I know it had a lot to do with Hachi's hormone fluctuations and undoubtadly added stressors, but she just will NOT stop shedding! It comes in clumps! And there is still more! You can see the gray/white soft fur very close to the surface of the rough black guard hairs and they are what come out in clumps. I only furminated her 3 times since getting her, and the rest with a rubber long toothed grooming comb. I'm just a tad concerned for winter, its gonna be cold for her!

## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-10-06T11:17:12.000Z
Nemo hardly blew coat this year. His coat is already really thick, it might be the thickest ever by the end of this winter.

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-06T11:17:29.000Z
sorry Jessica I missed your comment - that is good to know! As it gets colder I'm hoping to see her winter coat come in - RI gets the cold before PA! The other two have their normal full coats still, they both blew them in early spring and that was about it for them! Brandon - how hot does it get in WI? He has a consistently heavy coat? I'm still learning about these coats, I only had Tsuki for the whole of last winter, and when we adopted Kitsune he already had his January coat :)

## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2008-10-06T11:20:27.000Z
Mikos top coat is almost fully in. He face is still mostly red undercoat. When Moto is blowing his under coat makes him look splotchy and not as black. In truth I almost never groom them. They are both pretty snuggly so I just give them really good scritches and that loosens enough of their undercoats that I can do it all manually.

## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-10-06T11:25:40.000Z
The clumps are major - I've furminated once, just to help it along. Most of the shedding is left to her back legs now. I'm sure her other coat will come in soon. Maybe you ought to look into the long underwear that Jessica has for piglet.

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-06T11:31:11.000Z
hmm, that might be an option if it gets really cold and she still isn't puffed yet. Hachi's back legs are atrocious right now! She looks like a backwards dalmatian!

## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-10-06T15:04:33.000Z
...I thought I posted here already! *has looked at the pictures a million times* haha They're all such beautiful pups, but I really love Hachi's fluffy neck :) ~

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-06T15:58:22.000Z
Thank you Osy :))

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-10-06T20:55:52.000Z
I didn't read all the comments regarding Hachi's coat [sorry I am super rushed today]... I just wanted to point out, and it may have already been brought up, Hachi was an outside dog before you got her, right? An outside dog would probably have a MUCH higher tolerance for cold and blow their coat later in the year then a mostly inside dog. PS: I love the shot of Hachi peaking down the stairs and the "head-in-a-bed" one. :o) ----

## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-10-07T10:51:18.000Z
Thanks Brad, good point. She was a 24/7 outside dog to the best of my knowledge before coming home to us, so that makes a great deal of sense. It seems like such a simple answer but it didn't even cross my mind!!! THANKS!

## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-10-07T12:47:28.000Z
Glad I could help. I have noticed that Ahi blows her coat latter in the fall and earlier in the spring because she spends so much time outside. That is what made me think of it.
