Doggies, Doggos and Doggeroos!

I'm pretty sure this is my late puppy's grandmother:

Akita-On-White-01.jpg


Now that I see this image, she does look familiar (I've only seen her image in a book about Akitas). She set the AKC standard for Akitas.

Obi had different coloring, far lighter brown with some black and mostly off-white. Similar build, but maybe not quite as stocky. Still pretty intimidating to those that didn't know her!

She hovered between 80 and 90 pounds, I believe.
 
I just had a look at the AKC page for Norwegian Elkhounds and THIS is my Oreo! He was an Akita, Norwegian Elkhound mix. All those years I saw the Akita in him, but jeez, after seeing the images on their AKC page, he had far more NE than Akita in him. I'd never even bothered to look up NE purebred pictures before.

Poor guy, I miss him. :(

Coincidence. She was in Finland, MN and we were here in the Cities.

They were finches.
 
I'm more in the strolling down memory lane state of mind right now rather than grieving but thank you.

I guess I could post a scan of Binky, my parents' dog they had at the first house I lived in. I was about three or four when she died, so I don't remember much about her other than her looks.

Still trying to find a picture of Obi. I think I have one of her hindquarters, but I'm not sure I want to post that one.
 
Here's another angle of her face.

I remember once, several years after she passed and we moved, I was sad one night. I don't remember if I was sad about something particular or just sad. I started concentrating on Binky and how I missed her. I guess she gave me focus that night. I seriously remember next-to-nothing about her other than she was so small and our other dogs were so big.
