Well, it's been a bit of a hectic week for our first foster boy. We've tried out a few names for him - "Buddy", "Gen" (short for Genki), "Koji" and "Pup One", however none of them were ever responded to. Either he hated all of these names, or he just doesn't care about what we have to say to him! (lol)
Although he looks a lot like a Shiba and he definitely part Shiba, I think he may be part Miniature Pinscher. He is incredibly agile, with lots of spring in his step and is FAST!
Yesterday I took him to a nearby animal clinic for his round of shots. Since we weren't sure if he had his puppy shots, we went for the round of puppy shots and also included rabies. Much like a Shiba, he had the most incredible Shiba scream that embarrassed the S.H.I.T. out of me because he carried on for 2 whole minutes and wouldn't stop screaming even after I set him down. Like a drama queen, he laid there on the ground like we had chopped off his legs... RARRRHHOOOOOOO, RARHOOOOOOO, RARHHHOOOOOOO, RARHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The vet was nervous by this point and had asked if he was ok.... I had to console her by telling her that this was a Shiba breed thing and not to worry - he was fine, but just wanted to tell the world that he didn't like this experience AT ALL!
The rest of the drama for the week has been good drama. We met a few families - but we think we've found the right home for little foster boy. We're keeping our fingers and paws crossed that it all works out and that by Saturday, he'll be in his new forever home.
