Newest member to the iFixit community 💕

I would like to introduce the newest member to the iFixit community and my family:

Block Image

His name is Kamoka (Kamo for short) and he is the reason I’ve been offline for the last week. Picked him up last Saturday, and have spent the last week getting to know him and letting him get to know me. Training, walking, house training, etc.

He’ll be my fixit buddy for many, many years 🥰 (He’s 13 weeks and 3 days today.)

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@geirandersen HE IS AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Those are the great things we need to hear more off on a daily basis. He already looks like a great fixer :-)

@oldturkey03 I figured (although iFixit is a source for all things good), that we could all use a positive vibe on a Saturday. The last few years has been exhausting for everyone, so it’s time we put the world on the right track again!

He sure has fixed a lot of my personal problems already, and it’s only been a week. Having put a VERY difficult year behind me, he has brought so much love into my life, it’s hard to find the words.

@geirandersen you are SO RIGHT with that. My pets (they are actually more friends than pets) have helped me through the turmoil of the last years. I know that they are the best therapy. Unconditional love, always happy to see you and they will always listen to what we tell them and never gossip to anybody about what we told them :-)

My buddy Bentley (13 year old Border Collie mix) ended up with a sarcoma. So, he and I had a long talk and he said let's do it. He is now tripawd and still the best friend ever,

You take care of your buddy Kamo and he will take care off you till the end of time :-)

I am genuinely happy for you my friend.

@oldturkey03 We’ve had two dags befare, and they were both friends, not just pets. We had a schäfer when I was young(er) named Tzarin, and she was the kindest and gentlest friend ever! She unfortunately got diagnosed with cancer when she was around 10, but there was nothing that could be done except palliative care. We took the best care we could for her, but it came a day when we also had to have such a talk. That talk was a bit dark though, as we asked her if she felt it was better to let go. Her answer was yes, so we told her to have a good rest and that we’d see each other again. I don’t cry for much of anything, but that day I bawled my eyes out!

I hope you and Bentley have an awesome weekend and take good care of each other. Kamo sends his love 💕

@geirandersen I know it's getting late over in your part of the world. Do you think you could find us some sort of idea sharing conf room for our "team" ?Something where we can share ideas and work on some good iFixit solutions.

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

@oldturkey03 Yeah, it’s 9:12PM over here :P

I can set up a Discord server for the team, and team members can join. It’ll take me a half hour or so, but I’ll post the link to join the server once it’s done. I’ll post it on the team page as well.

Discord is the only thing I can think of off hand, that is free and open to everyone, though not everyone has / uses Discord.. There are other platforms like Slack, etc. but those are more meant for companies and corporations.

The ears! The fluff! Kamo looks like he'll be the best boy. <3

What does his name mean?

@amber Yeah, he’s fluffy but that will mostly grow off him.

His name is a spare parts manufacturer for cars :P

The owner of the kennel and breeder is a mechanic and he figured he’d use names from his occupation 🤣 There were two boys in the litter, Kamoka and his brother Brembo (another spare parts manufacturer).

He’s my bestest boy and friend 🥰

@jordy, He’s gorgeous! I hope so, because at the moment… He’s more in a “I have to destroy EVERYTHING because I’m a puppy and can get AWAY with it” mood :P

We were out getting some toys and a new collar with tag, and he got his first squeaky toy; I know what sound I’ll be waking up to, tomorrow :s

@geirandersen - I bet he’s great in shoe disassembly! 😂😂

Fur baby’s are so great! I would be lost without mine! I lost one last year, Hobbs misses his mate Calvin.

Welcome to the team Kamoka!

@danj If I hadn’t “hidden” all our shoes, then yes; They’re be subject to immediate tear downs 🤣 Right now he’s tearing down anything he can get his teeth around 😳

It’s such a wonderful thing to have a friend that does nothing but love you and that you can always talk to and he listens carefully 🥰 He can be lying in his bed sound asleep, but if I get up to move around, he’s immediately by my side!

Hobbs is such an awesome name, and he sounds like a fantastic friend 💕

@geirandersen - Yes! Life is not complete without a warm body be it cat or dog or multiples of either!

Enjoy your new charge! 🥰🥰
