Nothing but progress for our little Emi last month. Physically, she’s finally adding some meat to her bones and I’m guessing she’s 17 lbs right now! She has very solid hindquarters and a big ol’ tush now. Her once brittle fur now has a beautiful sheen to it after some much needed Omega-3s and the…
It’s been over 6 months since Emi first arrived into our home as a foster! I can’t believe how quickly time flies. First and foremost, the most important achievement so far in my eyes, is that Emi has finally gotten used to Josh’s presence and now adores him. It took a very long time for…

Why hello neglected blog! Long time no update! I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve been avoiding updates because so much time has passed since our last one that there is just too much to write. So I’ll just start off with Emi’s update. It’s been a crazy 2 months for our dear little adopted…

We try and give her a small snack late at night so that she’s not on an entirely empty stomach by the time her breakfast arrives.
Nothing like keeping it interesting, Emi!
Phew!!!
Kiba ate a peach pit before… I watched him like a hawk… it passed 
It took our Kitsu the better part of a year to stop retreating to our bedroom when company came over!
