I think I have convinced Chad to get a white one.  He thinks if he gets  a red one he wont get past that it isnt Hilo. Im so excited and got tons of great talk time with him. I WANT MY PUPPY now!!!!!  But he will be WELL worth waiting for. Im on my loopy sleeping pills and I am going to sign off! ## hondru (moderator) · 2007-10-17T00:14:16.000Z How exciting!  I've been considering an akita more and more, they just seem so great. ## brada1878 (admin) · 2007-10-17T00:29:46.000Z Wow - kewl! I'm glad you got to talk to him. ## MommyofNiko · 2007-10-17T00:42:51.000Z So brad....whats the plan?  Are you even going to be around to drive down there with us??? ## brada1878 (admin) · 2007-10-17T00:44:01.000Z Well, we just passed on the counter offer on the house we wanted... so we may not be moving yet... but there is a second choice house... so I will keep you posted. ## ShikokuSpirit (moderator) · 2007-10-17T00:44:31.000Z Awesomeness! I'm excited for you. So have you decided then on a male? Or a female? Or does it matter which? You just want the puppy, lol! ## MommyofNiko · 2007-10-17T01:08:53.000Z Thats too bad brad....as im smiling. We  are getting a male.  We already have 2 females with perfect harmony and dont want to mess with that.  I think that a male Akita will bring an amazing balance to our dogs.  out of control shiba and spastic rottie rescue.  We were hoping for this winter but that preg. didnt take.  He is worth waiting for and with all thetalk about goo breeders going on e is stuck with me.  I have never had a male dog before and that will be an experience....Im already coming up with name and it is so far away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chad is sold on a white one now and I so happy! ## MommyofNiko · 2007-10-17T04:47:54.000Z Ok so I have compiled a LIST of names....no...not excited at all! ## JessicaRabbit (admin) · 2007-10-17T11:15:54.000Z Hello, I named my shikoku pup the day I decided I was getting one. She won't be born until next year either, and Jay and I talk about her like she is going to be here next week. Congratulations on the upcoming addition! ## hondru (moderator) · 2007-10-17T12:34:35.000Z Show us your list! ## MommyofNiko · 2007-10-17T15:11:30.000Z It is such a long list because the hubby hasnt narrowed it down yet...Now keep in mind we want a white male.
