Happy 8th Birthday Nakama

Portrait of Nakama 2013 by Sage (10)

His name is Japanese for "circle of friends" and he has certainly become part of our circle of friends over the past 9 years.    We've always shared our home with big dogs and they inspire us and enrich our lives.   

Here's Naki as a puppy via Ree Keca at Kumakura Akitas


Our current kids include 2 young girl & boy humans Sagezilla & Du-Jay (10 & 12), a female rescue Husky mix, Igraine the Brave AKA:  Iggy Pup (3) and Nakama, our 105lb Akita (8).   Here's to the hairy children!    We love you, Nakama.   Happy happy birthday.
