No big deal, just probably the cutest thing I've ever seen. I have a sneaking suspicion that little boy to the left sleeping so oddly is our little boy. He just seems to be on our level. But we still don't know =)

Puppy Pie!
Got a wonderful surprise in my email yesterday, an updated picture of the pups. People keep asking if we know which one is our Knox, and we probably won't know until closer to 5-7 weeks. But it's still so wonderful to see them all grow. I am glad I am able to track his journey and watch him grow from the very beginnings, like this.
We are still getting everything ready. Now that we have things like toys, crate, etc...the more serious stuff comes into play such as indoor and outdoor gates, and fake grass. Currently our outdoor "area" is nothing but pavement and stones, we are hoping to make an area to lay down some fake grass to give Knox the ability to feel "comfy" when he's outdoors and continue getting used to going to the bathroom on grassy areas. He deserves the best! And the best he shall get. But finding this fake grass that's not breaking our banks seems to be harder than one would hope. Typical. >=(
Unfortunately, with mine, amos, and the breeder's schedules we probably won't find a good time to meet the puppies until the end of this month. But it is good in a way, they will be a little older and much more interactive than they are now. It would be nice to see them at this stage, but it is what it is! I'll settle for wonderful pictures =)

Knox's Crate Arrived!
So it seems my posts will be petty posts until our boy is here, but i just can't help it! Every little part of this makes it more real that he's coming!
Buuuuut!
His crate was delivered yesterday as was our brand new living room furniture. Big day! =) We set up the crate tonight. I assumed it was a "tools" kind of project but it actually was a matter of just clipping each corner together. Fairly simple! We'll see if it withstands the brains of a Shiba. My boyfriend and I have a sneaking suspicion Knox will eventually figure out how to get himself out of the crate...but who knows.
Now we just need a pup to fill this crate and we'll be set! We were hoping for a visit soon but it seems everyone's schedule is crazy lately. Looks like we won't be able to visit until late this month =( But oh well. We shall see them soon enough!
Until next time!

It Arrives!
Out of the box...

Let The Nesting Begin!
Today we started to get some stuff for Knox! We got a big fluffy pillow bed, a baby gate for the kitchen, some toys, and some safety locks for cabinets, and brushes. I'm SO glad we can finally get to plan for him!
We spoke to the breeder today to 100% confirm one of those boys is ours. And also might schedule our first visit next weekend!
...(Softest bed EVER)...

Puppy Pictures!!
So one of these 3 boys will most likely be our little Knox!! They're so teeny tiny right now. I'm excited and interested in seeing how each of their little personalities develops.
They're all less than a day old in this pic. So precious =)
I'm already in love and I don't even know which one is ours yet.
Now that we know they are here, it's almost just as hard to wait another 8 weeks until we take our Knox home.
I'm SO SO SO SO happy !!

THE PUPPIES ARE HERE!
The email we received today:
"Hi Amanda and Amos,
We have babies! Born last night. 2 red boys, 1 black boy, 1 red girl and 1 black girl. They all look great! I'm quite happy!
I'll be posting pictures and details (and making the birth announcement) on the website tonight or tomorrow, but I thought you'd want to know right away.
Eunice"
And there it is! After all of this waiting, it looks like our little boy is here. We aren't quite sure which boy is our Knox (the name we picked out) but we are hoping for the black & tan. But really, we will love and cherish this pup no matter what it looks like!
I'm so happy to finally post a happy post! Now we wait for them to grow a little bit more so we can take him home and love the crap out of him for years to come.
I will post pictures as soon as I get them. And hopefully within a few weeks I'll be able to make a visit.
Until next time!

Update 5/9/11
Hello!
It's been a while since my last post. So right now we are still in the "waiting" period which seems to be a constant lately. We met with a second breeder and got a good feeling about her! She is really sweet, and seems to really think we'd be a great fit for a puppy. But right now, she only has 1 dog pregnant and those puppies won't be on the ground until around Memorial Day. There are a few people a head of us but it seems most of them want females, we are the only ones who really want a male pup.
So once again, we wait! we wait, and wait, and hope, and hope. I'm just trying to not think about it because I really don't want to be let down again. I won't know anything until those pups are here! So send good vibes!
Until next time!
