Yoshi The Dog

# Posted by Joel Dixon at 30/06/2007 08:41:40

As mentioned before I am a cat person. I know it's not the most manly of things to admit - but I've always been fond of kitties, and who couldn't be after watching clips like this. Belinda, however, is definately a dog person, and has had an Akita named Saki for many years now.

Belinda is also a professional dog trainer with a local dog training school and occasionally provides private training lessons for people she knows. When we were discussing our potential marriage many years ago a bargin was struck - Belinda could, at any one time, only have two dogs and two cats and in return I would never have to do any work relating to the animals (i.e. cleaning their output, feeding them, walks). It turned out ok in the end - we now have two kitties that I'm somewhat fond of, but I do clean up the kitty litter twice a week. And recently, we got out second dog. Meet Yoshi.

Yoshi

I guess he's kinda cute

Playing hide and seek

They normally don't get along this well

All he does is sleep and play

He's also chewing anything he can get his teeth onto

Saki thinks she can fit in Yoshi's bed. She didn't have too bad an attempt

We picked up Yoshi from a not-so local breeder, and I must admit he's kinda cool. He's still in his puppy stage though, so prefers to piss on floorboards instead of grass - but I'm sure that'll pass (it did for me, eventually). Belinda has taken many photos of him, and has also dedicated part of her website for him. Apparently Yoshi means divine wind or noble face or similar in Japanese - but I'm sure you can guess why I approved of the name! Anyway, I welcome Yoshi to our family, hopefully he's the only new addition for many years to come (unless we buy guinea pigs)!
