I had sprang the idea of getting Shiba #2 during the drive to Virginia beach *evil laugh* David had NO idea! Everyone told us it was too soon to get another dog, let alone, another Shiba, but we proved them wrong.
Juju has definitely kept me on my toes. It was easy-breezy in the beginning. The girls got along great, and she was so small (ehem, manageable!)... As she got older, she became the more dominant one, her and Kitsune started to play very rough, the food aggression popped up, and Juju was no longer 5 pounds--she was 20 (okay, 18... but close enough!).
There were times when I screamed, and yelled, and regretted bringing Juju home. I was overwhelmed (especially since we got her months before David deployed to Iraq, so it was pretty much me raising her on my own... but then again, wasn't it MY idea to get dog #2 so quickly? yeah...) but I love her to death and am so happy she is a part of the "Kim family."
The reason we brought Juju into our home, was solely to be a companion for Kitsune. Yes, I admit, at times I favored Kitsune, but Juju has a special place in my heart. I mean, come on... Kitsune is a daddy's girl, and Juju is DEFINITELY a mama's girl. ;) I love her crazy maniac puppy energy at 10PM, I love how she grunts anytime I pick her up, I love how she sighs when she's tired, and how she snuggles up with me every single night... She is no longer Juju-baby... she's Juju-monster! She's my little rascal.
Happy 1st birthday Juju! Mama loves you! And if daddy were home, I'm sure he would give you lots and lots of treats, and maybe some xoxo's. ♥
