We almost forgot your birthday yesterday. You're 3!
Not that you care.
I'm completely sorry that Michael keeps buying hot pink collars for you.
I'm sure you haven't noticed he is dressing you in Ultra Femme.
He also bought the hot pink toys.
That was not me.
She got to swim and play bitey face with the hose...she got a piece of Michael's steak for dinner.
Do you notice a theme here? Michael is wrapped around her mammoth paw.
She's a very, very sweet dog. So easy to train. Absolutely biddable.
Before you run out and get an Akita ;) , just remember she is atypical.
Plus, when something is a cause for concern, she flips her switch from
Bimbo to Badass.
That always sounds like a great idea, doesnt it?
Loyal guard dog to protect the family.
Not so much. It's an obscene amount of work and responsibility.
Insurance companies don't like Akitas.
Morons.

| "OMG..I am..like..SO totally badass". Make sure you read that in a Valley Girl voice. |
She's worth it!
Plus..who could have denied this baby?

| She never lost the head tilt :) |

| Irie at 12 weeks and 28 pounds. |
She's our Rastafarian Akita.
Irie refers to positive emotions or feelings, or anything that is good. Specifically it refers to high emotions and peaceful vibrations.
Yep, that's our Irie.
What a gorgeous dog, no wonder she's daddy's girl. Our dogs had a couple of Akita friends when we lived in L.A. they were always nice to us. We have had our share of dogs that the insurance companies refused to insure, mainly Dobermans and I'm not sure if Angel, our German Shepherd is covered either. She should be at a discount since she is such a fabulous guard dog that will keep the burglars away, thus saving the insurance company money.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think the list of unfavorable dogs for insurance purposes grows daily. she's a beauty, that 3 yr old of yours! i'm feelin' irie!
ReplyDeleteAwwwe, she is beautiful. What a sweet face. Happy Birthday, Irie!

ReplyDeleteMaybe for Michael's birthday, Irie can chip in for a hot pink polka dotted belt for him.
she's a real beauty!!
ReplyDeletelove these photos, and thanks so much for sharing!

She is a beautiful dog. I don't know much about "brand name" dogs as we usually get those found at the local animal shelters.

Happy birthday to her - she has the sweetest face!
ReplyDeleteAWWWwwwwww...cuteness overload! happy birthday, irie!!
ReplyDeleteAww! She's adorable and no, I could never resist a face like that! Sounds like she had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteReally like Akita's. Your Irie is a sweetheart. When I lived in Ohio we had two Chows. Asia and Honeypie. Great dogs. My kids used them as pillows and rode them.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beautiful girl. And I know what you mean about "dangerous dogs." We've got two -- but I wouldn't trade them for the best insurance coverage in the world. They are my insurance coverage -- I trust them completely. :)
