my better half entry-

Yep leave it to my cuzin, Nordude to come up
with this Mango Minster contest.

Like one of him isn't enough, he went ahead
and found his girl-twinnie.

So, i thought ...eazy peazzy!

i discovered my twinnie almost a year ago.

At the time, Rocky was on the run.

Our fav FT, Khyra asked me to channel my inner akitanez
to help him find safety!

well, it worked and we've been twinnies ever since.

check it out- i even did a post about it- 

ya know how he copies me.  

let me dust off those old photos

so woo can see fur yourself.

That pretty much says it all!

now it's your turn..

go find your twinnie!

akitanez, contests, my better half contest, rocky

barkouts 2 stumpy & khyra

hi bloggiepals,

this post is a barkout 2 some great pals of mine.

remembah, awhile ago Stumpy, Alfie & Fenway- the crew from Dirtville held a Khatch it fur Khyra Khontest to recognize her efforts with rescue dogs. my abilities didn't win me any first place prize. in fact, if woo watched my video, khatching requires alotta energies and i had to lay down on the job.

well stumpy decided all the participants were puptastic and

was sooo kind to make homemade cookies to efurryone just fur playing!

ooooooo.. coookies! GIMME GIMME GIMME!

THE ANTICIPATION OF THEIR ARRIVAL WAS KILLIN' ME!

THE DAY FINALLY CAME...

lookie, a furry nice letter with a pic of their smiling mugs!

hi guys! u bet i'll enjoy the nommie cookies.

hold up- what's this?! a birfday card too?

 not to worry dirtville crew, i'll be sure to start those exercises 

tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow...geesh!

and now for the cookies!

  somehow i always have to work fur foodies.

(psst: don't tell mom i'd do much more than wave.

they are THAT yummie- hmm, she didn't get my backflip on video blahahaha)

the next barkout goes to my favorite FT (floofie tail), Miss Khyra herself.

she played a big part in the rescue efforts of Rovin' Rocky !  the whole time he was missing she asked me to send out my supah akita vibes. 

 of course i did!  

her mom also kept telling me how much we looked alike.

so i thought, huh? do we really? 

well let's see...

ok, so he copies.

long white muscle body- check.

but wait, he's got extra curl in his tail

and what's that handle thingy on the bottom?

all i can say is COPYCAT x2

i learned it first.

alright, we do have the same silly smile.

somebody stop us.

he is adorable and believe me, miss khyra and her mom were ready to drop him off in massachewsitts.  could woo imagine the two of us walking down the street togethah? if we had a different living situation or liked to break the apartment rules (well and other things), it wouldn't surprise me if i had a new brudder.

wishing that Rovin' Rocky the best furevah home!

and back 2 my cookies....

thanks again Stumpy, Alfie, Fenway & Khyra!

akita, contests, COOKIES, khatchitforkhyra, rocky

a monstah of a week!

hi bloggiepals,

 last nite, finally got the news efurrybody has been
waiting..and waiting for--
ROCKY has been SAVED!!!!
(get the 411 on Khyra's blog)

whew!
mom woke me up from my usual coma to tell me.

then, i had to go see that runaway rocky fur myself.

let's show all those beans who nevah gave up on woo a thank you-
the only way akitas know how-- boogie!

my wagger can't stop wigging. So happy it ended well.

not to mention, this definitely makes up for last week.

i mean, Rocky was missing. and

i had to visit my vet.

it was time to recheck my thyroid levels and my weight
after taking levothyroxine for a month.

(akitas are prone to hypothyroid- can effect behavior, energy-hyperactive or lethargy,

weight problems, and possible seizures.)

(oh no.. pleaze no ant-eater photos..

this is embarrassing)

why? why? then i won't look.

even more embarrassing!.. announcing my weight

at my last appointment,the scales were off by 10 lbs.
(not really my fault)

ok tula, today your weight is

- 4 lbs!

you now weigh 110 lbs.

play bow, play bow! thank you, thank you!
i'd like to thank my foodmanager and my bottle of purple pills-

next up, the vet tech lady pulls out dreaded needle. gulp. this is nevah pretty.
mom positions me right against the wall, holds onto my collar & feeds me.
the vet tech lady goes right at me, yanks my back leg, poke poke poke- grr grr grr.

she poked around for like a kazillion years. nothing! dry! nada!
 What? she had the nerve to ask if she could go for my jugular.

um...mom didn't think that was the best idear.
the expert, the real vet was called in and got the job done. 

they both were furry nice and told mom i'm not the worse patient.

awww.. really?!

anywoo, wanted to let you know- I survived! I'm ok.
the meds did their trick- my thyroid levels are in the normal range.

(no noticeable differences in lethargy or behavior, just weight-loss)

after the torture, a stop at one of my favorite parks was a must.

with the temperatures rising to 90+, i quickly found my way to the coolest spot
in the gazebo.

 and practiced producing mango-sized slobberz.

how's this?

 still growing.. lookie, it might touch the ground!
can't wait to show Mango at our next grad skool class.
(if i can get him to stop staring at my muscle butt & look at my face.) 

he has been in our last two classes- singing, sudzing,
and mostly trying to replace Norwood as the teacher's pet.

(read all about on his bloggie)

all's good again.
stay cool,
