Near Month Four for Kazu and Koji

.



Kirin has recovered much, if not all, of her thick undercoat. We see her run and play with her pups more often now.


Watched Kazu whine for an extended period while Jimmu ate his evening meal treat last week. Jimmu freezes himself while the whimpering goes on, and then, probably finding it unbearable, leaves his bowl. Kazu takes over and cleans it up. This is independent of the amount of food on her own bowl!

Jiji told me about this practice of Kazu a week or so ago but it was only recently that I witnessed it. I always thought it was just a prelude to a game of chase. We occasionally restrain Kazu to give Jimmu some time to eat.



Koji follows Kirin




Weighed Kazuko and Koji last night and they are 40-45 lbs. Koji seemed to weigh a bit heavier, though Kazu is slightly wider. We find it difficult to remember that Kirin weighed the same when we acquired her at almost nine months. The siblings will be four months old at the start of August.
