Suzanne & Ryan can't wait for their very first Akita. They've chosen Hiruko and his new name will be Makato's Kaibutsu Stryker. Kaibutsu means "monster". :) Pretty fitting at this point. hehe Still pretty fitting!
Baby #1 BOY Born at 9:35 a.m. 1/4/06 14 ozs at birth. He'll look just like his Daddy. He's got matching white socks on the front feet and matching white toes on the back. He's got a tiny white tip on his tail and some white on his chest that runs down his belly. Just like Daddy. He cruised around complaining for the first hour until I showed him the baabaas. Don't think he's stopped chowing since. :) We'll nickname him HIRUKO which means "Guardian of the Health of Children".
Baby #2 BOY Born at 11:30 a.m. 15 ozs. He's a Mama's boy. He's spotted. He'll be browns and tans and golds and white with a black mask. Just like his mama. His nose is white and he has a white tail except for the black dot on it. He also has a white dot and a stripe, like a lightening rod, on his back. Sooooo, we'll nickname him RAIDEN which translates to "God of Thunder and Lightening".
Baby #3 GIRL Born at 11:55 a.m. 13ozs. She's just like Daddy. She has matching white toes all the way around. She's the smallest in the litter and the sassiest. We'll call her BAKU which means "Good Spirit".
Baby #4 BOY Born at 1:40 p.m. I couldn't get him to breath. He's at Rainbow's Bridge. I named him Fudo after the god of wisdom.
Baby #5 GIRL Born at 3:15 p.m. 14 ozs. She's white and long and bossy. :) We'll nickname her SHINDA after the fertility god. Her new parents may want to breed her.
Baby #6 BOY Born at 9:10 p.m. White. I couldn't get him to wake up either. We'll name him Fujin for the god of wind. Fujin's at Rainbow's Bridge.
Baby #7 GIRL Born at 4:20 p.m. 1/5/06 White. I couldn't get her to wake up. Way too long in the birth canal. We'll name her Benten for the goddess of love. Benten's at the Bridge.
