Yeah...but as he grew up you could see he had many problems. Longer muzzle, bigger paws and larger ears. Very different from any shiba I had ever seen.
This isn't even his laundry list of health problems, including double airway collapse disease, pneumonia diagnosis the day after we got him, strange aggressive/wild demeanor unlike kobi's, dumber than a box of rocks, his body didn't absorb fat, he was skin and bone. We had him on every meds you can think of plus homeopathic, slippery elm and even acupuncture I think LOL Poor guy was very sick. Constantly starving because everything went right through his system and came out in large amounts of runny vile toxic orange stuff. So hungry he'd go into the pantry and eat a 10pack of 100 grand chocolate bars :\ a bag of apples, ANYTHING.
They both were Petland puppies. NEVER again.
Speaking of which, ours went out of business
and it was in a very busy well-to-do part of town! Near a lot of country clubs.
We got very lucky with Kobi and Kenji...
My dad wanted a white Shiba
I'll get you a pic of PJ tomorrow. He isn't totally fat weight wise 14lbs? ...he's just a solid round bloated black tootsie roll...with a stub for a tail.
and when he meows it sounds like a deep "RALPH!!!"
if not they bug me, it smells, and Brutus acts like he's dying. He won't use a dirty litter box. We probably change the 34lbs every 2 weeks or so. Basically when it starts to change color and doesn't keep down the smell it's time to change. Also, we buy the LARGE bags of cat food. Right now we have 3 kittens outside we're feeding but can't keep any or people may start to talk. 
They have the same mother as Felix and Miller. We really need to trap her and get her fixed.
We use the ScoopAway clumping litter, it's a little expensive but only thing that keeps out the smell. Unless you see a few scratch marks you wouldn't know we have cats, but then people are introduced to the herd.
