My canine kids...

Now that I have a new camera, I have been taking many photos of various subjects, including my furry children. Above are Akira and Achilles, my two WONDERFUL pit bulls that were adopted from our local Humane Society. Akira is our brindle and white girl, and Achilles is our mostly solid white block-head boy.
I will post a photo of Mr. Musashi, our solid black kitty rescued from a housefire as a baby, when he is completely over the cold he caught from Vladimir (most shelter animals come home with a cold or respiratory infection)....Poor Mush has a goopy eye and runny nose right now.
I just wanted to make the connection between names and faces...

Fighting Dogs???

I had to post this picture of Akira and Achilles because I have spoken so much about them since the Michael Vick situation has unfolded. This photo was taken in our basement during a late fall storm. The little couple huddled together for security and affection as I snapped this pic. (Achilles is wearing an invisible fence training collar, by the way, a device he no longer needs because he has learned the boundaries of our yard.)

These "poopies" are the prime example of how wonderful the American Pit Bull Terrier Breed is.... The most amazing quality this duo possesses is their constant wish to please Super D & me as well as their desire for constant affection. Needless to say, I could easily pet the hair off Akira & Achilles!

I will also post a photo of Winston soon...when the time is right. I cannot bring myself to look at his photos right now...

Yours truly,

The profiles we create for ourselves on these sites really may or may not define who we really are, but they at least give other viewers a little insight to our personalities. Even if we fake it. Believe me, I have nothing to fake. Except that I am really not named after the black panther on The Jungle Book. I'll bet you're surprised at that revelation.

Anyway...I'm quite upset with myself that I did not initially remember to list ANY Akira Kurosawa movie under my favorites. WTF??? Kurosawa's movies influenced American filmmakers tremendously in the days before such cerebral classics as Dude, Where's My Car? and Who's Your Caddy? *gags* How could I forget The Seven Samurai, Ran, High & Low, Yojimbo, and my favorite, Kagemusha? For God's sake, my best friend in the universe is named after Kurosawa! (She's a beautiful brindle and white pit bull named Akira. The only thing alive that understands me...)

Please forgive me, Mr. Kurosawa, for I have sinned. However, I have not forsaken you...I did eventually remember to add your body of work to my measly little blogspot bio...
