Visitors

We had visitors today, a young couple interested in buying a Shiba Inu pup. They had been here once before this autumn, meeting me and Daniel, so I recognised them as the nice people they are. Paula and Daniel sat for over an hour talking about Shiba Inus with them. This is good, it proves they are serious in their interest. They make a good choice with the Shiba Inu, an even better choice with our kennel. Mum is supposed to get another litter soon, one pup from that litter may very well move to this couple. I believe that pup will get a nice home.

Dad got a postcard today from Daniel's mum, who has been on the Canary Islands. Daniel's mum wrote that the Canary Islands are the dog islands. As far as I can understand, the word "canary" comes from the latin word "canis", meaning dog. My Mum said this is self evident, considering the small birds called canary birds - these come from the Canary Islands, but the name must also imply the birds are supposed to be dogs' birds, thus free for us to prey on.
