The puppy came to us by way of a neighbor who decided she really didn't want a dog. Thus my children pleaded and begged and I (being the sucker that I am) gave in. He came with the name "Jake", but I would have none of that. We don't give animals people names in this house. We needed something a bit more Japanese to mesh with the rest of our household pets. Our Golden Retriever, Sumo. Our Betas (Japanese fighting fish), Sushi and Sashimi. And the infamous Parakeet, Kamikaze.
I'd like to make a side note here. Our dogs have names that are only and will only be theirs, however ALL of our Betas are named Sushi and Sashimi, and every Parakeet-Kamikaze.
Anyway, we needed a name. The kids and I came up with a few to try out. Nibana (meaning second)-nope. Yoshi (Marsha flipped out) "We can't name him after a character in Mario Bros." And finally, Cindy's name request-Samurai Jak (Sammy for short).
So Sumo and Samurai. Poor Sumo. The old man is chillin', sittin' back, relaxin'. enjoyin' the peace and quiet, when out of no where this young kid jumps in and turns his world upside down. Such is life! Just wait until we get back to the states...momma has every intention of getting herself a kitty to name Geisha. Sumo may very well turn himself into "Kamikaze", Hehehe!

Ok, every one knows how crazy about dogs we are but you will have to admit, maybe not for a while, that there is something so fun about having 2 dogs, they entertain each other and keep each other company and by the look on Sumo's face give them somthing to think about. Have fun ya'll.
Cute puppy! What breed of dog is the other one?
Jess is wanting a big dog to be her "companion for life."
Good luck with the new puppy, he will probably be big also!
Samurai looks like there might be some boxer in there....poor Sumo....you know I could always provide a retirement home for Sumo...I have always told you that...lol.
Cute and so much fun, you will have to check out the website and maybe add his picture. http://www.dailypuppy.com
Aren't dogs fun!
At least there are Conventions for "training" dogs!
If only Children fell under these "rules". Life would be so much easier! NOT!! LOL!
