So many shared experiences, so many changes, and yet I'm excited for what's in store for us in the future. And now for the traditional growing stages birthday spam. These are some of the first pics we took of him, a few days after bringing him home, at about 9 weeks old (approx. 4lbs). He was such a little feisty fellow, all mouth and a lot of spunk This one is one of my favorite puppy pics. When Tetsu was 10 weeks we took him with us to the Maine Lobsterfest, this was his first camping experience as well as being practically a star to everyone we came across at the fest. 3.5 months 4.5 months and we found him a "brother", both at about 9lbs 6.5 months (14 lbs) and a shot for christmas 8 months (18lbs) 10 months 11 months And finally the embarrassing birthday morning pic (taken when I accidentally woke up Tetsu this morning) weighing in at 19lbs Birthday party pics will be posted later (as we didn't have the "party" yet) PS: Happy Birthday Nola, Tetsu's b-day twin ## Honey's mom · 2009-05-21T11:07:02.000Z Awwwww!

Happy birthday Tetsu! ## Calia · 2009-05-22T02:22:04.000Z Tetsu give a shiba shriek of thanks to everyone...and now for some spam of what we did to celebrate his B-day. First we took a stop at the dog park, where the boys got to romp and play. Once we left the dogpark, we stopped off at a nearby petstore and picked up some fresh new b-day toys. Once we got home, I put together a birthday snack for Tetsu (as well as giving some to Tikaani so as not to leave him out). This B-day treat consists of a chunk of Roast Beef and a salmon sushi(partially cooked to help prevent illness.) And now for a video of my babes eating the birthday treat. ## Kaddy · 2009-05-22T05:04:58.000Z LOL Tetsu eats SO much like Keiko... she knows it smells yummy, but she's not sure if she wants to eat it or what the proper approach is... my other two just wolf everything down! ## KFontaine04 · 2009-05-22T11:22:01.000Z Super cute birthday spam! See you tomorrow! ## brandon_w (admin) · 2009-05-22T11:31:02.000Z Tikaani eats like Nemo. Two bites and gone, then kind of the "Did you just feed me something?" look. ## wliu003 · 2009-05-22T12:37:14.000Z cute doggies. --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
