Just dug up am old pic of two of them.
The one on the left was Kira, the first Akita we owned, she was all about my step-father. The one on the right, only a pup in the pic was Itchy, we were best friends but no one could get too hands on with me because he took it personal, hew grew quite large and personal got really personal if you know what I mean. I used to call him the silent assassin, Akitas dont bark or warn much. He would lie silently behind the backyard fence waiting for the neighborhood cats to make the wrong move, needless to say I cleaned up cat limbs several times. About a year later we got another, her name was Yoko, cant seem to find anymore pics of them.
Thanks for sparking up some great memories!
