So..hello :)This is a scrapbook for Korra~

I drove over 12 hours today. Today Korra turned 4 weeks old, so I wanted to go see her. The breeder was super nice and let me stay a whole hour there. It was well worth the trip!

She was sleeping in the breeder's arms when I arrived, so she was a little groggy and spent most of my visit sleeping in my armpit.

Yup. In my armpit. I opened my jacket so she could snuggle in. And so she snuggled. And snuggled, and snuggled, until her head couldn't make it any further down into my sleeve. I only had my phone, but here's a (low quality ) but pretty funny picture.

I outlined her little tail and leg, since it's so dark. What a cutie! Hahaha. I will never forget this.

Then she fell asleep and drooled down my arm...

Here's picture of her on my chest. She was sleeping, but when I moved to take the picture she woke up.


And one more sleeping picture, look how small she is!


But, when I consider how small she was 4 weeks ago, she really has grown!


Another four weeks until I can bring her home. I think I will make it a two-day trip next time, I may have been a bit ambitious today! 4 weeks, it seems like forever!

-edit: I'm going to track her growth on the first page -

She's so cute! Can't wait to see the 8, 10, 12, 16, etc week pics of her!!

Oh sweet tiny baby!! I hate that I didn't get to see Kane when he was that small, he was 18 months when we rescued him. Cherish those pics!

Thanks! I'm so in love with her..she's perfect, she has the exact personality I wanted and she's cute as a button I'm going to steal what you did with Yuki's scrapbook and keep a post with pictures of her every week it's such a good idea.

I will! It'll only last a moment, I'm excited for her to grow up but I wish she could be tiny enough for my arms forever.. lol
Kane is such a handsome boy by the way! Those eyes I wish I could've rescued but it was hard with no husky experience and being a college student..

Oh gosh I was holding Yuki today and it reminded me of you and Korra xD I was just thinking to myself 'Yuki, why can't you fit into my elbow anymore?' and she just gave me this little 'woo' and gave me a kiss XD They grow up fast, but I love em big or small <3 <3

She's such a cutie!

I still hold and carry around my girls I actually didn't carry Sophie around much when she was little. I kept telling her to grow up quick so she could play with maya.

She is so cute, she will be home before you know it then the real fun begins.

Thanks everyone^^ They do grow up fast :')

Do you really carry them around Abby? I'm impressed lol. I guess big or small, they're always your babies!

Everyone who has met me can vouch I carry my dogs, even my 53lb male. Haha.

It's always hard waiting. I was only 4 hours from Koda's breeder, I wish I visited when he was a tiny tiny baby but I was in HS. We picked him up 1.5 weeks after graduation.

She sure is cute though. Are you a Legend of Korra fan or completely unrelated?

Haha, yup, I am. It wasn't as good as The Last Airbender, but I thought Korra was a cute name and suits her I heard the creators named Korra after their dog Kora haha. I'm still getting used to calling her by her new name, it's still a little strange..is that normal? maybe because I've been calling her by the name the breeder gave her for a while..
I may go with Kora instead of Korra..we still haven't done her papers yet. How did you pick names?
Carrying your pups sounds like a workout lol

Yuki's name came from the character in Vampire Knight, Yuki Cross. It wasn't so much the character though, its just that her name meant 'Snow'. Cloud's name came from the main character, Cloud Strife, in the video games Final Fantasy. If I ever get a red boy, as I'm hoping to do one day, his name will be Ichigo Bleach is my favorite anime/manga out there XD

Nice^^ My second choice was Ashe, from the much less famous FFXII, but I loved the art. I was kinda wondering if he was named after Cloud, or if you named him that because he's white and fluffy, lol. Bleach was great.
Picking a name is hard because she's gunna have it for the rest of her life..it's a big decision..I have definitely lost sleep over this haha

Yeah no worries. At first I was thinking that too. Yuki was going to be Rukia, Hime, Ally, or Yuki. Then I decided even though I love Bleach, Rukia isn't my favorite character, Ichigo is. Then I thought about Ally, but I decided I wanted something that was related to anime, so I was down to Hime and Yuki. When I picked her out, I was conflicted because both fit her. Then one day I was texting Abby and she was like 'you keep referring her to Yuki, is that the name you decided on?' and then I realized that for four weeks I hadn't even brought her home yet and I had been referring to her as 'Yuki' whenever I talked about her. I guess the name kinda chose itself, and thats how it came to be XD

Haha, that's exactly what my mom said to me! I gravitated toward calling her Korra without noticing. Yuki really fits Yuki! Maybe it just needs some time to become more natural feeling. You have put my worries to rest
Well, I still have to decide on one or two 'r's...I'm a little type A if you can't tell^^;
Ichigo is a perfect name for a red! Worth waiting for a boy to use the Bleach theme for sure

Ahahha! Yup!!! Ichi ftw

Dot, Korra is so adorable! I can't wait to see more of her!

I love Vampire Knight! FFXII is my least favorite FF though.
I enjoyed VII, but Zack is my favorite from that whole franchise. Cry every time I play Crisis Core.

I'm a video game and animanga freak, haha.

Our 2 names we had it down to were Azula and Rogue. I wish I went with Azula, fits her personality, lol. I also tried to name her Rydia from FF, but the hubs didn't like it.

Aw, thanks Yaqui!

Haha Ya, FFXII was not excellent haha. I just liked the art, it was less colorful than FFX and XIII, maybe I have a thing for sepia lol. I used to be super into anime and manga, less so these days, too much to do!
Azula would be a cute name! But of course Rogue is super cute too, I guess you just need another sibe! lol

I prefer X and before. IV and VI are my favs.

I haven't played anything before X, I really want to but I don't have them. That makes it kind of difficult..I'll play them one day!! *ㅂ*

If you have a PS3, you can download VI, VII, VIII and IX on the PS Store. I THINK they may have V too, can't remember since that is my second least favorite so I didn't buy it on there to be able to replay whenever I want.

I do..but I can't remember my password for the life of me...and because I wasn't 18 at the time I can't reset it because who knows what birth date I used..sigh :'(

Just make a new account.

Haha, yeah, I'll have to do that I guess. When I have time I'll check out VI. Between school and getting ready for puppy..who knows when that will be!
