My crazy idea off spending some time at a Shikoku-Breeder will become reality! From 4th to 30th May Im going to help and train Katja with her dogs and puppies. Last week i booked my flight! Im really really happy!! Cant wait to step into the plane!! Thx for encouraging me to you all! And perhaps one of you guys will drop by in May? :) oh and little news about Katjas summer litter plans. She told me that there will be puppies from her Shibagirl Kuri in April, and she plans to let Aiko and Sachi mate with Kuma!!! I think some of you will be happy about this news! But her Shikokugirls arent already in heat so theres no date for birth. I hope they will get in heat this month so perhaps I have a chance to see their newborn puppies in late May!! Wish me luck :) Bye bye yours Lisa ## sunyata · 2009-03-04T11:41:12.000Z That is great news! I am super excited for you, and for the pictures you will surely take while you are there!? :) Best of luck, and keep us updated. ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-03-04T11:41:43.000Z That is very cool, congrats. Not only do you get to work with dogs, but you are also going to a beautiful area of the world. I'd love to get to Vancouver. The things that happen because of this forum are pretty cool. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2009-03-04T11:56:39.000Z congrats! ## asia · 2009-03-04T12:11:50.000Z Yay for you!! ## _dlroberts · 2009-03-04T13:08:10.000Z Very cool Lisa! I'm sure you will learn a lot and even more sure there are a number of forum members who are really jealous. :-) ## brada1878 (admin) · 2009-03-04T13:09:57.000Z cool! ## kitan13 · 2009-03-04T13:25:15.000Z What a way to spend the glourious days of spring. Congrats ## CrimsonO2 · 2009-03-04T14:08:24.000Z I hope you photo-document your experience with the Akashima kennel. As you know, there's less than a handful of reputable Shikoku breeders in North America. Your experience could go a long way in providing insight to this unique breed. How inconsiderate of me, big "Congratulations" on your upcoming "deshi" experience! Jesse ## LisaW · 2009-03-04T15:17:04.000Z Dont worry!! My digicam+SDM (2gb) + Macbook and adapters are already in my suitcase :)!!! i wonder if i should take with me a camcorder for better videos ... yes i think i will borrow one!! ## the_november_rain · 2009-03-04T16:33:03.000Z Awesome, you will have a lot of fun and it is quite beautiful and peaceful on the island, don't forget a bathing suit. ## Darwin67 · 2009-03-04T18:56:32.000Z Congratulations on your upcoming trip, how exciting! I concur w/ TNR, the island is a beautiful and very tranquil place...If I had to think of a heaven on earth...Vancouver Island would be at the top of my list. ;-) ## Leonberger (admin) · 2009-03-04T19:00:30.000Z Very cool! Congrats! ## Sangmort (moderator) · 2009-03-05T01:06:41.000Z Very cool!
