Hey everyone...

Troy and I bought a puppy dog yesterday. We were planning on getting on in the near future, but after i pursuaded troy into the pet shop, and saw "Obi", we couldnt resist. Hes a very big, 8 week old, golden Akita. Cute as a button, with a dubble chin and too much skin at the moment. Hes going to be a big boy, about 50-60 kgs. We wanted a good gard dog, their breed is aparently excellent at that, and great with families. From the pics, he doesnt look quite scary at the moment, but im sure when hes bigger, and had some training, he will protect me from skyline, scooter and breaking in **** heads while troys on night shift :P

[qI must admit as much as i don't like dogs that really is one cute dog!!

AHAHAH Obi ahahaha!

Obi, yes i know. But i think it suits him. According to troy it was either Wooky or Chewy... Both starwars geeky names... So i said if it has to be a starwars name, its got to be obi.

That wont work. I get cluckier every day :)

TROY .. INPREGONATE ME!! NOW!! lol

Ive been wispering into his ear while hes sleeping at night that he wants a baby, he thinks they are cute, and wants one now ... :)

Also, been bringing children over to the house ;)

Shh.. dont tell him my plan!

aparently if i keep nagging, he will just add an extra year onto when ever he was EVER going to propose.. IF EVER... HELLO TROY OVER 4 YEARS NOW!!! SAU.. get on his case!!!!!

Oh well... we will have a bloody zoo if he thinks buying me pets will keep my mind of having kids, cos hes going to have to keep doing it!! No wonder we have 2 birds, 2 cats and now a dog! hey troy... I want a pony!!!!

Well.. eventually when troy and i have a night off together, (Im working 2 part time jobs now and uni, so thats pretty rare)... even rarer to have a cruze running on that night, we will bring the big pansy (meaning the dog) with us :)

I think its best troy has no say in the names Otherwise you will have one called Millenium Fulcan or Chewbaca!

Troy - Don't listen to Kyles brainwashing! ahahahah!!

yes we are getting all the training info atm.

just got to find the one that suits us, and doesn't put our boy at risk. hes only had 1 set of vacinations so we are thinking a vet run puppy school first for the disease free environment then out the big bad world and all its nasties.

Dogs are great

We lost our Beagle to cancer and suprisingly I was devestated.

The new puppy helped me get over it.

She's bigger than yours Kyles :( \

9kgs but 7 months old.

Won't be able to claim she's bigger next week :O

Sorry to hear about your dog. Its sad when we loose a pet, they can be like children. I know mine are... ;)

The vet said he will probly be about 10 kgs in 2 weeks (that was a week ago).. little fatty!!

Hes enrolled in puppy preschool. We went though a vet. He starts school on wednesday (ohh my little baby is growing up). We will be looking at further training after that. Aparently akitas need alot of training, they are very smart dogs, and have short attention spands and can be very very stubborn, so obedience is a must with them. Also, because they were used as hunting dogs to hunt animals such as BEARS, they can be fairly unsociable with unknown people and other dogs etc. So we are trying to get him used to children and other dogs. He loves kids so far though.

Hes learning to drive too. The other day when i took him somewhere, he put his paws up on the stearing wheel... He always wants to sit on my lap when we are driving, wont beable to do that for much longer!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
