Ok October has become one of the most craziest months out of the year for me. Birthdays, after birthdays.... Parties, after parties...... Animals, after animals..... It's never ending. But that's life. ^-^
So Kiyo turned 2 years old Oct. 6! She's a big girl now and all grown up! So what does her mommy do for her on her bday? Take her to work to have the dreaded toe nail trim and wear a purple scarf with her purple diaper. LOL Kiyo was not happy. She through her usual tantrums when she goes in heat and didn't want the toe nail trim done, but she was a trooper through it all. She still wanted to play and run. Sorry, no picture of her bday outfit. Maybe next time. ^-^
Kiyo and I have been going to conformation class every Tuesday now. Trying to get ready for our first shows in November. 2 weeks ago though, one of the instructors were concern about Kiyo. When it came to being place on the table to be examine, Kiyo would stack ok, but it was like no one was home. She had no personality. I knew exactly what it was, Kiyo's famous "I hate you for doing this to me" attitude. I told the instructor that it was her protesting to it and I was hoping with practice she will get over it. Last week it showed. She started to perk up a little and had some happiness to do it. I was getting excited and she saw that. So hopefully we can work together and have fun with this. Fingers cross for us!
Also last week, I took in a pit bull puppy to foster. His name is Junior and man was he a handful.... He is a very demanding puppy, needing constant human interaction. I'm not use to that anymore since I got Kiyo. But I took care of him till Saturday when my boyfriend found him a forever home with a family. Here are some pictures of him.
Today I received a book called The Nihon Ken from a blogger I've been following from Japan. I love reading his adventures with his Nihon Ken. To the mountains of Japan hunting, to the show rings. His photography is great too. About a month ago, he posted a blog about this book and giving an overview about it, as well posting if anyone was interested in the book to let him know. I was really interested, since I wanted to have a better understanding of the Nihon Ken breeds in the Japanese point of view, since that's where they originated from. So I got the book. Here some pictures of it.
Here's the blogger's blog site. http://nihonken.blogspot.com/ Check it out if you are interested in the Nihon Ken breeds. This is the guy who knows a lot about them.
