Our freaking adorable new puppy...
I've wanted a dog for a long time now, October 2010, to be exact. As soon as Chris and I moved into our new home, with a large fenced in yard, I started the "pestering" for a puppy. However, Chris was very particular on the kind of dog he wanted. He really wanted to get a Shiba Inu. A dog I had no clue existed. And not-so-conveniently, isn't a common breed with the nearest breeder over an hour away (Kortar Kennel), followed by three hours then over ten in Alberta.
About two months ago, we decided that it was time to get a puppy. So, after a lengthy interview process with the owners at Kortar Kennel and a three hour trip to Chateaugay NY, to Innisfree Kennels... we ended up with Hojo.
We named him Hojo, after a 13th century samurai who wasn't known for his fighting but what he wrote. His writings apparently influenced later samurai philosophy... Just to clarify that our puppy isn't named after the Howard Johnson.
