Countdown: Two to Go!

Wow... so few puppies after having 10 for so long. After the first two left, we still had 8 swarming around and playing and tripping us every time we turned around. Then this week, we rehomed two more, and now we just have two left.  Today they are nine weeks old and love love love to play.

This is our 6th born male. We called him Hook when he was born due to the anchor shape on his left shoulder. Thinking back, I could have called him Cap't Jack just because that's really cute. He'll be one of the smaller of the boys -- maybe around 100 lbs instead of the 120 or so. He's also my personal favorite. He's incredibly observant and a lot of times when people would come over to view puppies, he'd sit back and watch more before playing instead of forcing his puppy love on people. He's a beautiful cinnamon color with white and as of right now, he has a black mask, but he may lose it in time.

This photo was taken yesterday, Feb. 29, 2012. 

As you can see, he's largely cinnamon with a bit of white. Tip of his tail, his belly and chest, legs and then that marking on his left shoulder. He's a great, great boy.



And now for our last girl!

This is our fourth born, a little girl. She's definitely our smallest of the 10 puppies. The best word to describe  her is "dainty". We guess she's going to be around 70-80 lbs or so, so definitely a smaller size for a female Akita. She is Rick's favorite, so she's got a lot of SPOILED in her. She is incredibly playful. Just this morning I told Rick that most times I look at her, she's got her bottom up in the air, her tail wagging madly and then pouncing on a toy -- or her brother! She's always been the lightest color of all the puppies and it still holds true. She's light cinnamon brown with white, and has a white circle at the base of her tail. Recently, a black mark has also started on her tail. She has a mask right now, but every day we see it fading away like Raiden's did, so I'm confident she will completely lose her mask. 



See? Hiney in the air again!




So these are our last two. Be sure to look at the adoption page next, because we have several new photos to add. If you'd love to have one of these babies, let us know and we can make it happen!
