Been a LOONNGG time...
Hey all,
Boy its been a long time since i've been on here, Things in my life just got so hectic ![]() My grandfather was in the hospital for the better part of last summer with pancreatitus ![]() I also had been working on the Moneypit almost everday there for about a year and I kinda got a little burnt-out working on it, so i just fixed everything that it needed to be dependable as a driver and left it at that. It sure was nice just to enjoy driving it for a while(when i could afford to..500Caddy+ $2.20 gas=$$$$) without working on the dang thing all the time We also lost one of our Akitas that we had for 10 years to a heart attack this summer(while my grandfather was still in the hospital no less ![]() ![]() ![]() Me and my parents also bought ATVs last year for us to have some fun with. we had been looking at them for a lot of years but never could afford them, We finally saved up the money and were able to buy 3, a orange KFX-700(my fathers)- a white Suzuki z-250(My mothers) and a Red-Black Arctic Cat DVX-400(mine). I was amazed at how much fun and how big a stress relief it is to ride them. we usually take them out at least once a weekend or more. You also get good exercise riding them. Well im starting to ramble ![]() ![]()

Love the Akitas. I bred them when I lived in Japan. To me they are about the best breed of dog to have. Your's was a very nice tan brindle. Sorry to hear your lost.
Added some pics of my two. Male is dark one female all white. I was sorry to lose mine also. they died of some stupid insect bite from H7ll in Okinawa.

We've had 5 Akitas over the years and IMO they are probably one of the smartest breeds of dogs there is not to mention one of the best guard dogs around.

This is Samson, our Siberian Husky.
You could easily say he's my first born child.... He is a strong willed lovable dog with inflammation of his spinal cord. This requires rimadyl twice a day at ~$1 a pop, but it relieves his pain for the most part. We are saddened to know that we probably won't have him with us much longer. About 2 years ago the vet said he'd probably live 2-3 years, and then his hind legs would start not working and the pain would get worse. Just felt like sharing, I'm trying to give him all the love and happiness he can enjoy in the time he has left. Love your family, friends and animals for you never know how long you will have them. ![]()

thats the bad thing about the larger breeds, they have a lot of spinal and hip problems,one of our other akitas has popping hocks, he's about 8yrs old now and they are starting to bother him. It's like a person who has an ankle that pops in and out while there walking sometimes.
Palf70step and moneyguru-they are both beautiful dogs

Welcome back. On the topic of dogs....I'll never argue with a person who says his dog / breed is the smartest. It's an argument no one will ever win. I'll say this...dogs are GREAT! Love mine. He's been an oustanding addition to our family.
Gettin on in age, turning 9 in July. Hips started bothering him last year, so got him on glucosamine (sp?) and he's doing much better. Seen here on the Platte in Nebraska hunting last fall. ![]() Lives inside with me, wife and two daughters (6 & 4). Very well behaved (anyone can say "sit" and his rump is on the ground), retrieves like a machine, plays with the kiddos well and even gives off a earth shaking bark when the doorbell rings. Doesn't matter much because once the door opens he's wagging his tail and licking whoever enters, so as a guard dog, he's all bark and no bite. He will come downstairs to my office and put his paw on my leg when he needs to get out for bathroom. This will tell you how well he listens... Four years ago I bred him with another lab. She's in heat and he's chasing her around the yard. He finally catches her (or she lets him) and he's about ready to do his business. I wanted to see just how well he listens so I give him the "here" command. He thinks about it for just a few seconds, then jumps off and walks over to me. I scratched his head and said go get her buddy. (pups on the ground later that spring)
