Climbing

The pups have started to climb over the edge of the litter box. They want to explore the world and they do not want to soil the blankets in the litter box where we sleep. This is as good proof as any that they are Shiba Inus. We have it in ourselves to be curious and eager to learn, and to become housebroken very fast.

The male, who is the biggest of the pups, was the first one and is the best on climbing, no surprise given his size. He got his call name today: Zeus, after the head god of ancient Greek mythology. This suits him, I believe.

The older girl will be called Fumi, the younger Anzu. These are also fine names.
