Akemi-chan!

Akemi

The most recent addition to our family, Akemi, a 7-week-old shiba inu. She's quiet, inquisitive, bright, ornery, and cute. Akemi is named for her bright nature and her reddish fur.

For ~6 months, we've been mulling over getting a Shiba and a Welsh Corgi (think Ein in Cowboy Beebop) -- I wanted a Cardigan and Bug wanted a Pembroke. A fluffy dog not having a tail just freaks me out like twins.

We've been checking out places for the right color. When we walked in and saw her, I knew she was the one.

As for what the other members of the family think -- Yoru isn't sure yet. He stands outside her cage and meows. Mochi is a ferret (curious).
