edited March 2009 in Shiba Inu (柴犬)
My wife and I have been waiting for a shiba for the past 2 1/2 years, about a year and a half of research and looking for the right breeder, and about a year waiting for a dog. We're still waiting for our dog, but we've started to prepare ourselves by amassing products for a dog we don't yet have, and haven't met.

    Just a kind reminder that the first year of puppy ownership will be your most costly. Aside from the pet toys, there's shots and the speutering. Though I can understand your need to satiate and reinforce your goal of getting your puppy. It's very, "The Secret".

    Omg, I can't believe I'm saying this... "Would you like some eggs with that SPAM?" hahaha, that was soooo lame!!! I think I'm going to use it for now on though lol.

    Anywho, I was like that when I first got Sasuke. For X-mas, it was basically a baby-shower... but for dogs. Now whenever I cannot chose between two products or toys, I HAVE to bring either Sasuke, Sushi, or Ninja along so they can pick out their own toys. They also picked out their Shampoos and various other items.

    So Katsu is the name your going with, and does that mean you'll be getting a girl. Would be kind of funny seeing a boy in pink though...Can't wait to see your pups in that pig costume, perfect for Halloween.

    yeah next up is the crate, and deciding what kind of food to buy. I'm interested to see how the purple octopus holds up, it's supposed to be indestructable, destined to outlive everything on earth but cock a roaches and twinkees. and if you think this is spam wait till we get the dog, we're gonna need more than eggs with our spam.


    What's "The Secret"?

    yeah we're looking for a girl. But if it was a boy it's cool, he could rock it all Kanye/Cam'ron style. Pink is the new black, right? We got that pig costume at roosevelt field mall, my little cousin showed me the store and I had to get it, my wife loves pigs. I Have a funny feeling the shiba will not like it, but the two minutes it stays on should be hilarious.

    anybody have any suggestions for dog toys they can recommend, I want to be well stocked so that the dog stays occupied, and doesn't try to make her own toys.

    Its so funny because when we got Ryu, we got tons and tons of toys. He played with a few but most of them just stayed piled up in the toy basket. He mostly went after empty water bottles, pens and socks. :(

    It wasn't until we got Roxy (more than a year later) that the toys finally got some use! :) She has some freaky shark teeth and can rip through those "indestructible" toys in 2 minutes. :X

    My favorite toys are the "unstuffed" toys. They last a whole lot longer than the stuffed ones :) We have a raccoon that has been around forever and no fluff to clean up!!

    We went to the breeder today, and found our dog. She's the sweetest little fur potato you'll ever meet, we're picking her up April 11, and we can't wait. Here's some spam from the day.

    this is girl number 1, she's cute and loving but very fiesty

    this is girl number 3 as she's now know, or Katsu Tonkatsu, or the Victorious Panko Breaded Porkchop. This is our future fur baby.

    074

    girl number 1 zonked out.

    the big boy, bound for a forever home in baltimore.

    the famous mr miyagi, who made a recent appearance at the 2009 westminster kennel club dog show, do you believe he's 12.

    The breeder Alyssa has done an awesome job with getting the puppies used to touching. They have no complaints with you playing with their feet, their tails, ears, anything. We had Katsu on her back like a baby, and she was just soaking up the belly rubs with no complaints, only little kisses.

    thanks for all the nice comments. I was having a hard time deciding which pup I liked, unti I picked her up. She just gave me this look, and a kiss and I was done. The look reminded me alot of a Akita/Shepherd mix I had, he would just put his head on your leg and look at you, it's like he was saying "Love me" with his eyes.

    hey you already have two, save some cute shibas for the rest of us! The funny thing is I really wanted to get both available girls from the breeder, but I know I won't be able to handle two. I don't think I'd be able to give the propper attention and training they'd need. But now that I know for sure that we're getting her I really want another shiba already. Maybe in a year or so, I'd really like to rescue a boy.

    Aww cute pictures! we bought that toy, the plastic nyla key ring. our shiba sophie destroyed it in about 3 weeks. just be careful and watch them with the nyla bones. they say they are not easily destroyed toys but it's not true. those puppy teeth are sharp and they can break pieces of those nyla bones off and swallow them. ohh i love the rangers jersey!!! where did you get that?? nhl.com? I would love to get a capitals jersey for my pups. (we are in VA so caps and hurricanes are the two closest teams)

    Congratulations on picking out your Katsu, she is such a doll. I can't wait to see her in person and give her some cuddles. When she's old enough, she can take a whack at Tetsu and see how he likes it. (Secretly, I think he's been wanting to play with someone his own size, as Tikaani likes to pick him up by his tail.)

    Once again,congratulations!!

    You should bring Tikaani with you on the 18th.
  • CaliaCalia

    Well of course, we don't bring Tetsu anywhere with out Tikaani, and vice versa.
