I apologize for the lack of updates, especially Katsu ones.  School has kept me pretty occupied.  Here are some new ones though.  I think you would appreciate these the most nutmeg3 ! :)  My friend has a Shiba too and he brought over his dog, Akiko (2 years), to our place for a Christmas potluck.  On a funny side note, we didn't realize that we got them ( Read more... )

I just got back from dropping Katsu off at the vet to get neutered.   I told myself I would go right back to sleep afterwards but I felt extremely sad when the vet was walking him through the door into the next room.  I gave him a hug and a kiss goodbye ( Read more... )

I still don't know who to vote for and many other issues.  I've switched sides so many times.  I don't know if it's because of apathy, lack of awareness, or just that I'm plain indecisive.  Possibly a combination of all of this plus many other things.  It's a tad hard without a TV and I've had class when the presidential debates are on.  I guess ( Read more... )

Per Carolyn's request, I have been back home in San Leandro safe and sound since Saturday night.  It has been extremely relaxing just knowing I have nothing to do (except maybe start running).  Also, it's always good to see family again and friends from home.  I was shocked and relieved that Katsu behaved so well during the 8 hour drive!  For the ( Read more... )

Katsu had his first day of obedience school this past Saturday.  I didn't know what to expect since he's never been socialized with other dogs/animals and it was his first day walking outside.  So far when he's been outside he's always been carried because he can pick up the parvo virus.  Though I'm not really sure what to believe now.  Apparently ( Read more... )

Oh my.  3 months old already!  It's kind of sad how fast he is growing up and getting bigger but at the same time I want him to mature haha.  Katsu defies everything.  And by that I mean he is one stubborn dog haha.  He still bites us alot but it's not even cause we're playing it's because he gets angry..which is not good!  We want to train him so ( Read more... )

So I am in class right now, personality psychology and good thing I brought my laptop today and I have social psych right after this until past 8pm.  Today was my first day away from Katsu for more than like half an hour and I already miss that guy.  He is starting to grow on me and I'm constantly wondering how he is and what he is doing (probably ( Read more... )

I finally got my puppy Saturday morning from North Carolina, a 7 hour flight and he has definitely been quite a handful.  Just the fact that we live in an apartment scares me so much that the neighbors will complain to the landlord.  I knew it would be alot of work, but knowing it and experiencing it are two completely different things.  Waking up ( Read more... )

Reading this made me angry.  I know I might be stepping on some toes but honestly, there's a serious blood shortage here in the United States. And the fact that SDSU just got an award for donating more blood than any other college ( Read more... )
