if it looks like a fox and sounds like a whale

It must be a Shiba Inu?

If we could have had the dynamic duo Bear and Kitsune for a while before naming them, I probably would have lobbied for Radar and Sonar. Don't get me wrong, they have great names. I mean, what's better than calling one animal by another's name? (For the record: Kitsune means fox in Japanese.) Even though I don't actually intend to re-name them, sometimes I like to think about what their personalities suggest they should be called.

It doesn't taking knowing bear and his super-awesome, super-huge ears for very long before you're tempted to call him radar.

Kitsune has a unique way of communicating when she wants something, which is usually one of three things - food, space on the couch, or outside time. This morning when she was complaining at chatting with me, I thought, "she's the sonar to his radar!" This seems to be a Shiba Inu thing, so I found a video (not of Kitsune) to give you the general idea. She's not quite this vocal, but it's pretty darn close!
