We Got a Dog!!!


We finally caved and got a puppy!!! I haven't blogged in a week due to the fact that I've lost all sense of a life upon getting her. She's so much work, but completely worth it!  I have a feeling this blog will turn into an "All About Kya" forum! : ) She's our baby girl and we love her to death already!! So for me to remember when I'm old and gray...

  • She was born May 8th, 2010 and we brought her home on July 25th, 2010.
  • Alex came up with her name, Kya. Nobody can remember it but us and my sister! We think it suits her perfectly! She's a japanese dog and her name means 'a diamond in the sky.' we love that!
  • She was 12 weeks when we got her and already weighed in at 8 lbs. and 4 ounces. 
  • She went to her first vet appointment and was given a clean bill of health and a lot of attention from the people there!!
  • Every single person who meets her asks if she's a siberian husky and when we reply that her breed is a shiba inu, they look at us like we're nuts and think we made the name up. 
  • We picked her among the litter of nine other puppies because she seemed the most calm, was cream color, had sweet eyes, and an adorable white stripe down her nose. 
  • She was practically potty trained on day three of having her and has only had two small potty accidents in the house up to today.
  • She's REALLY good at playing catch with her red ball and will already bring it back and drop it in our hands. 
  • She's cuddly and really loves her belly rubbed. 
  • She wants her sisters, Ellie and Amelia, to play with her so bad but they're extremely scared of her.  
  • She's done SO well meeting everyone in the family and all of the many dogs in the family, too! She's so sociable!
  • She's also independent and likes some playtime by herself on a daily basis. 
  • She loves truck rides and looking out the window from her daddy's lap!
  • She's THE best dog in the entire world!
We're so looking forward to all the years we have with her; we think she's going to be a great dog! : )
