today is a special day... one year anniversary of marriage with husband...
kolohe's sixth birthday...
and what would've been our akita, yoshi's fifteenth birthday...
i adopted yoshi when she was four years old from a rescue group... apparently, the previous owners were getting a divorce, both moving into apartments, meaning that neither could take her along... i got lucky.. it was the best one hundred and fifty dollars i have ever spent...
akitas have their bad reputations like pit bulls... yoshi was the sweetest, most mellow, bestest dog in the whole entire world... weighing in at one hundred and thirty pounds, she wouldn't hurt a fly... when i took care of all the small kittens, she was gentle with them... she was gentle with my son when he was a toddler... she would bark at our pool guy, but from the corner of the yard and not move an inch near him... however, she did know the really shady people and would have a deep, mean growl to show it...
we lost yoshi three weeks before prada was introduced to our lives... yoshi was suffering from severe arthritis, dementia, and was losing control of her bathroom habits, so we knew it was time to put her down... a painful memory that i may write about another time...
i miss her... i especially miss her because maybe prada won't be as naughty as she is... a huge dog would put her in check...
i digress... kolohe was a baby raised around yoshi... they were great friends... they spent many days looking out the door together...
