Toby is Ten! | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/toby-is-ten
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Happy birthday to Toby, who turned 10 today! Toby at Four weeks old. He is now officially a Shiba elder, and he celebrated his status by doing what he likes best: nothing much at all. Though these days, he takes up a lot more space:. Toby at 9.5 years old. Oh, Toby did have a slim period, but that has long since passed:. Toby and Bel in better days. Bel was a puppy in that photo, and Toby was around two years old). Toby’s war wounds. Every in...

Goodbye to Bel | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/goodbye-to-bel
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. On the afternoon of July 12th, Bel was bit by a rattlesnake, and we euthanized her later that day. I have some other things to say about Bel, but this is the first post, about what happened to her. My red girl loved the snow. I’d been agonizing over it for weeks. Years, really, but in the last few weeks of her life, it was a constant weight. It wasn’t a should I? Bel was often sick. Leo comforting Bel while she was sick. From a hospice vet th...

Leo is One! | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/leo-is-one
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Leo is already one year old! Here are some pictures of our little whirlwind of naughty (so-christened by a friend from the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab forum). Leo still enjoys agility, and though this picture is from the early fall, when he was younger, he’s still just as eager to run through a tunnel or over a jump, or go over the A-frame (his favorite! Leo in the tunnel at his agility class. Now that’s more the Leo I know! I think he wants to...

She’s Here! | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/shes-here
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Time for a new addition at The House of the Fox Dogs. Introducing, Zora! Zora at 6 weeks, photo by Liberty Akitas. Zora is an American Akita, bred by Liberty Akitas. In Oklahoma. I have been wanting a Liberty dog ever since I met the Bennetts several years ago, and I inquired about upcoming litters after we lost Bel. Last weekend, little Miss Zora came home with us. Years ago, I met her grandsire, Bugatti. I also met Demi. Zora, 8.5 weeks.

Bel’s Story: an Addendum | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bels-story-an-addendum
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Bel’s Story: an Addendum. His wounds had to be flushed three times a day, and he had to be force fed. Toby at home, after 6 weeks at the vet. But Toby’s tough. He pulled through, and now you can’t even see the place where the wound was on his leg–he does have a scar, but his fur covers it. Behind my frustration with Bel is fear, fear of loss. Perhaps that all that any of us can hope for. Bel’s Birthday: the Bitter and the Sweet. Jun 30, 2011.

Bel’s Birthday: the Bitter and the Sweet | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/bels-birthday-the-bitter-and-the-sweet
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Bel’s Birthday: the Bitter and the Sweet. Today is Bel’s birthday. She’s 6 years old. Forgive me if I have a hard time mustering up some enthusiasm for this event, but I might as well admit it, as much as I love Bel, she’s often a hard dog to like. Bel as a puppy. In the fall of 2009, she was attacked by coyotes (through the fence) and bitten badly on the head and neck. She had some eye damage, which healed, and who knows what else happen...

Toby in Need | From the House of the Fox Dogs
https://fromthehouseofthefoxdogs.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/toby-in-need
From the House of the Fox Dogs. Nihon Ken Madness and Musings. Toby on his 11th birthday. I’m hoping to cover Toby’s health care first, and if there is more money left, then I’ll pay down the debt. And if there is any money left beyond those things, I will donate the rest to Shiba rescue. If you can help–be it through donating, or sending encouraging words, or through boosting the signal–we appreciate it! Toby at the vet, getting the bad news about his leg. Toby says thank you for your support! Enter you...
