Its very hot now in Sweden....and for an akita with thick fur....and I have very THICK fur....it is exhausting to go for walks. Master try to walk us in the early mornings or later in the evenings when it`s a little bit cooler.....

And if we can find a waterhole  along the way we jump in....or actually that part is for Zumi...I am more of the drinking type when it comes to liquids....exactly like my dad/master!!!!!! If anybody says " Come in to the water and swim, it`s 20 degrees Celsius!"...my dad says " Ha are you kiddin me, that is 8 degrees to cold!!" He is the genuine bath coward!!! And so am I!

As I said it is hot in Sweden and I tend not to walk too fast hence thick fur....as you well know by now! But walking slowly does not mean I am an object for nasty rudeness from other dogowners!!!!
A lady with a rag on her leash said to dad " My dog is 13 years old! Your dog must be the same age!?" If I haven`t developed into such a nice guy I am I would have derminated her and her rag for a dog!!!!!

Here Zumi and I are up on top of the small costal town of Norrtälje...very quaint indeed....wodden houses, narrow streets and a little creek running thru the town. And loads of small cafeterias, hair dressers and house brokers. Roslagen, as this part of the country is called, have most vacation homes in Sweden. This town is very busy in the summer and stone dead the rest of the year...

We found ourselves a water hole!!!!!

Often people stop us and want to now what breed we are and so forth....this time in Norrtälje we could hardly move forward......and as it happened we got stopped by a former movie star!!!!! Ay ay ay!!!! I am now going to collect on movie stars that admire us!!!
Well movie star and movie star...it was not exactly Julia Roberts....but this lady has won the Cannes Film Festival Award for best actress in her days....it was Pia Degermark...the swedish actress that did the role "Elvira adigan" in the drama film "Elvira Madigan" from 1967!!!!

As you can see I am in LOVE.....holding pretty young bitches paws is what I do these days!!! A nd I can do it very well indeed!!!! Especially those bitches that smell so goooooooood and have sexy little pants on!!!!!

Pool babe ChiChi........

I had one of my "Halleluha moment" this morning!!!! We had the good fortune to meet one of my darlings that I desire.....the neighboor dog "Doris"...a very petite and lovely french bulldog. Whenever I pass her house I tend to do those little whimpering sound.....I cant hold back...it drives Zumi crazy....jaelous of course!!!!! But I have not given her any promises.....I have love in me that many can share with me!!!
Anyways....we met delicious Doris....and I got to kiss her...she was so delighted to met me that she at once lay on her back!!!! Oh what sweet smell she had....and those kisses...my whole world went upside down for a moment!!!!

Zumis best sleeping pose......

Cya!!!!!

Hi there dear folks and friends round the globe.....hope you all are doing well...I am fine thank you but a little incident has happened that almost made me meet my maker....though I certainly do not think he want to meet me.....I have a slight tendency to bark....LOAD....at strangers I have not seen.....and I guess neither I nor anybody else has seen the big man. I will tell you about that misfortune that happened me later....you will have to be in a litlle supense eh?!....

Here we are all the three of us...japanese samurai dogs....in the jungle near our house. No actual wildlife like the kind they have in Africa, but an occasional roe deer or hare can jump out o the bushes...and of course the very annoying ( to Zumi anyway, I dont bother that much ) squirrle!!

We have some foxes as well and badgers....rumour says it that one attacked a dog and bit its nose....I very much hope it was that stupid Wilson or that even more stupid Morris that got his nose shorter!!! Hehehe!

Walking with Chihiro or ChiChi as she is called is very tideous...she has this annoying habit of stoping like every five meters to pee!!!! And she does it as a male dog??!!! Lifting one leg up and pee on a tree??!! I can not get my mind on from whom she has learned this????? Dad says I should only look in a mirror to get the answer...he is such a funny guy!!!!!

Well  it is not easy to be a role model....is it???

Out with precious Daijina Mirai in the kingdom of Morga....Mirai is currently in a dog care center during the day when her naster, Björn, is working. She has acclimated very well in the center.....thats good. Us akitas can have some issues coming to people and dogs we dont know that well....but the one we like we like very much!!!!

Doctor Shirai at your service!!!!...checking the plumbing......

At almost every walk we do people have comments to give us....usually good one...very very seldom bad ones. We met a couple of guys that stopped and admire us, one said....." They say that akitas are very intelligent!!!"...that kind of talked we like!!!! But as always dad has to be a smart ass and spoil it by saying..." Not to mention the owners!!!"......My God!!!!!

As you can see we are now of royal heritage.....this is Sala Castle just outside Uppsala. No one lives there right now so we have an idea to move in......

ChiChi has had her first birthday!!!! Hip hip hurrah!!!! Dad made her a present....her pawprint casted in clay........

Now is the time to tell you when I almost met my mum in heaven....my dog mom that is, Miume, that was overrun by a big lorry when she was chasing a squirrel!!!!!

I was laying peacefully, as I always do, on the veranda at our house...in the sun...when I had this urge to go and drink some water. But when I tried to get up something was resisting that...and someone or something was slowely refusing to let my have air to breath!!!!  The less air I got the more panic I got...and I pulled harder and harder. Fortunatly for me mom was outside and saw my predicament and came to my rescue. My necklace has a tag on it, like a bone, with dad phonenumber on it...and that little rascal had somehow glided down in between two planks and gotten stuck. The more I pulled on my necklace the more I strangled myself!!! Dad and mom had a hard time trying to calm me so that they could get the necklace off me....but they managed even though I snarled at them. Puh!  that was an ordeal I can tell you......you can see my necklace stuck between the planks down below.....

After such a wringer it is nice to have a soft butt to rest on........
