# Guess what woke us up this morning at 6am... Howling! All 8 of them, howling in the living room! It started with Ahi growling at something outside, probably a Coyote.

Hilo's moos turned into howls, then Ahi joined him, then the the Akita girls joined, then the Shibas - then Loa and Kona. It was very ridiculous. I so wish I had the video camera by the bed so I could have recorded the sound. lol! ---- ## Honey's mom · 2008-09-26T14:02:12.000Z Sounds HILLARIOUS!!!! (Well since I wasn't the one sleeping! hahaha) ## hondru (moderator) · 2008-09-26T14:06:04.000Z I wish you had your camera, too! I would like to hear that. Also, I would like to hear Hilo mooing. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:15:33.000Z It was hilarious - both Jen and I laughed. Jen said "That's not howling, its farm animal sounds". lol ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:16:44.000Z Here is a Hilo "moo": ---- ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:17:41.000Z Jen actually has a shirt that says: "Akita: Looks like a bear, sounds like a cow." ---- ## Honey's mom · 2008-09-26T14:25:48.000Z GREAT VIDEO!!!! and OMG! He DOES sound like a COW! HAHAHAHAH ## brandon_w (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:33:47.000Z The food cart still cracks me up. ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:43:37.000Z That's a great alarm clock! Record it so I can get the sound, LOL! ## Nekopan · 2008-09-26T14:45:58.000Z The Anderson Akitas make me want an Akita. Even more so now that they moo. XD ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-09-26T14:56:48.000Z love the akita shirt! ## Leonberger (admin) · 2008-09-26T14:58:16.000Z If I had a shirt like that it would have to go ..."sounds like a pig." Kuma snores and snorts like a pig sometimes. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-09-26T15:42:07.000Z lol - Lani kinda snorts like a pig too. ## ShikokuSpirit (moderator) · 2008-09-26T15:55:56.000Z lol. That's great! A mooing Akita, hey at least Hilo, Ahi and the others picked a fairly decent time in the morning. Ya know, rather then 3 hours before. Hey, Shoushuu snorts like a pig too! I think since Shikoku were bred to hunt boar, they somehow made them sound like boars too. Maybe...um...Akita use to hunt cows! lol. Bears, cows and pigs, oh my! ## sujewel · 2008-09-26T16:15:45.000Z LOL, Brad. Funny. Mika snorts like a pig AND moos like a cow. Keigo's normal...though he does Grruff in a very low, scary manner. When I'm on the phone, my friends always comment. ## Jack Bimble · 2008-09-26T17:27:41.000Z LOL that so cute, i have to check and see if my uncles Akitas moo now. ## Romi (admin) · 2008-09-27T00:49:42.000Z LOL - That is freaking adorable!!!! ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-09-27T02:23:36.000Z lol I SO would have slept through that! That's adorable. I wonder what gave them the urge? :) ~ ## lindsayt · 2008-09-27T03:32:51.000Z Jen and Brad, Your house looks so tidy and well set up for dogs. I love all the open space with the little kennel area along the wall. It probably makes it easier for the butler tray to offer room service to the furry guests :) I'm jealous you have so much space. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2008-09-27T13:04:43.000Z Lindsay - Thank you! Our house works out well for the pup since its basically like a big loft with a few rooms attached. I'll admit it tho, its starting to get a little packed with crates due to having so many young dogs that require crates. Over all tho our house works out well. Osy - I think Ahi spotted a Coyote, which made her start to growl/bark - then Hilo started to moo and that caused Ahi to start howling. Once Ahi starts howling all the pups usually follow. ---- ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2008-09-28T06:16:15.000Z Oh! That's too cute :p It's like this; Ahi Growl -> Hilo Moo -> Ahi Howl -> Anderson Pack Howl lol~ ## cas12 · 2008-09-29T14:41:51.000Z Ozzy sucks his teeth in his sleep and then fart's eww --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
