Sorry I'm not here a lot. Still think of you guys often. I pop in once i a while and comment, but life's just been hectic.
Ronan, aka The Ronanator, Beelzepup, turns 8 on Sept 23rd. Hard to believe it's been that long. He's calmer, albeit barely. LOL!
Tasha is fading. I honestly didn't think she'd be here come late spring, but it's hard to get an Akita to quit anything, including life. She still wears a happy face, still begs for chicken, and wants to go for a short mosey (it's not really a walk). We rarely walk more than 3-4 houses down and back, maybe 4 times a day. She's so thin - it's hard to keep weight on her. She sleeps a lot. Sometimes, so deeply that I have to check. She's 15 and 3/4 years old! That's something for an Akita. She's still the best dog.
Ronan is a bit weird with all this - acting more fearful at times. We've gone back to his favorite game of Find. He's so good at it now that I'm considering how to get him used to a kennel so we can go to Nosework classes. His dog aggression is worse, sadly. No idea where I went wrong there as every dog I've ever had has been great with other dogs. But, he's doing well and is still my adorable, zany, high-energy snuggle boy.
