Hey everyone, I had intended to make this an update on how Akira is doing because so many of you have been so kind as to ask how she is, but i'm afraid that update will have to wait for another day. This is actually an update to let everyone know that I may not be online as much for awhile. I had to put my dog to sleep yesterday and it's been really hard on me and the rest of the family. We were all real close to her, we've had her since she was a puppy, she's about 15 years old or so now. A German Shepard, Wolf mix. She saved my life more times than I can count, (living deep in the mountains can be very dangerous with all the wild animals), and yet there was nothing I could do to save hers. It's just not fair! Sorry everyone, it's just too much, to talk about any further, just thought I would let you all know why I won't be around much.
