LOL, that was my Akita when grandma took him. Long story, couldn’t keep him any longer. “Shalafi, I am NOT going to take that dog!” Well, she did. 130lbs. of black bear wandering around the house.

After hip surgery: “Oh Shalafi! He’s just too big! He might knock me down!” Guess who got knocked down when I came home to visit. Beast knocked me flat while not laying so much as a whisker on her walker. In a 8’x 8’ entryway. That was something to witness.

“Oh he just barks and barks when strange men come around the house! I don’t know what to do with him!” Yeah, bet you hate having a dog with the lungs of a dragon going off at “strange men about the house”. 🙄 Yoshi sounded like some Resident Evil shit going down on the other side of the door.
