I have to say, I was a little nervous to introduce a new dog to Akuma, but he has taken to Emi beautifully. They are best buddies. Akuma was definitely missing having a friend. #nihonken #shibainu #hokkaidoken

Emi loves to howl with Akuma. It’s so stinking cute. #shibainu #shiba #puppy #hokkaidoken

From the board and train place: “Your dog is going to need some correction, he was very violent.” Idk what they’re talking about, Akuma is fearful, but violent is not a word I would use to describe him. 🧐 #nihonken #japanesedogs #hokkaidoken #ainu

Boarding test day number 2 started at 10 this morning. They said they would probably admit Akuma as a dog with behavioral issues even if he doesn’t pass the test day. I wonder how much of his “behavioral issues” are just Nihon Ken or primitive dog characteristics. #nihonken #shibainu #hokkaidoken

Well, the boarding place wants to do a second test day because both dogs were “standoffish”. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Emi bit the crap out of me this evening and I think it’s because she was stressed from today. 😩 My fingers hurt like a mofo. #nihonken #shibainu #hokkaidoken

Dropping the pups off for a test day at the boarding facility we hope to use while we’re out of the country. Fingers crossed they both do ok. #nihonken #shibainu #hokkaidoken

We have a home organizer over to help us with our house right now. When he got here Akuma lost his mind and started shrieking. Naturally this happened while Scott was on a call. No one knew what the heck they were hearing. 😆😅 #hokkaidoken #ainudog #dogsofbluesky

Akuma just crawled in my lap and barfed. WTF. 😭🤢 He’s ok now, but gross. #dogsofbluesky #dog #hokkaidoken

I think he’s mad at me for betraying him at the vet. 😅😆 #dogs #hokkaidoken #ainudog #nihonken #japanesedogs

Got called back to the vet after dropping Akuma off because they couldn’t get a muzzle on him. 😅😅😅😬😬😬 Maybe I should ask the vet for a sedative I can feed him ahead of time so things go smoother. #hokkaidoken #nihonken #japanesedog #ainudog

My oldest has a friend over and Akuma has decided this friend is his favorite human on the planet. It’s pretty sweet. 😆🥰 #nihonken #hokkaidoken #primitivesdog
