PEANUT, PEANUT BUTTER! (No jelly)

We had PEANUT BUTTER in our KONGS!

Lovers or Fighters?

the quickest way to end a fight is to start kissing...

Going to the Park

I always knew I liked going to the park. Since Dad retired, I get to go everyday, and since Mom ws off work for the summer we've all been going a lot. Reasons I like going to the park:
1. you get to ride in the car
2. you get to smell new things
3. you get to expand your territory
4. there are more squirrels and chipmunks at the park
5. lots of trees
6. you get to ride in the car again

~Akira


As it turns out, I like going to the park too! I still HATE riding in the car, but once I get there it is grreat! I get to run all around and meet kids and other dogs, I get to pee over top of everythin Akira pees on, and my Daddy lifts me up to drink out of the human water fountain! It's grreat! The car ride back home is never as bad, and when we get home I get to take a nice little nap.

Best of Portraits- Akira

A Week of Sis and Rado

Shiro and Akira take up their breakfast positions. Rado is eating.

When Sis got back from Bulgaria she spent almost a week with us, and her fiance Rado spent 3 days with us. We like him a lot. Sis says Akira likes him more than her. We don't kiss and tell. Anyways, of course we have pictures of our time together. We'll be putting them in a couple posts.

Shiro waits patiently

This is Akira's Chair

Simon Cowell and Snoop Dogg

Simon Cowell

Hard to Please

Enterprising, brassy and not afraid to bark what's on his mind, Akira is Idol-maker Simon Cowell!

There's no beating around the bush with Akira and flattery will get you nowhere. Akira calls it like he sees it, and stands firm on all fours behind his decisions. The cat definitely does not have Akira's tongue—some of his pals think he's bitter and confrontational, while others find him to be impawsibly hilarious. Akira's influence on those around him is remarkable, and he takes advantage of this fact and uses it wisely. Behind his no-nonsense mask, Akira is a perceptive sponge, taking in what he sees and hears around him, and then figuring out how to make it look, or sound, better.

Snoop Dogg

Smooth & Cool

Swingin' hard and keeping it real in his 'hood, your little homey is Snoop Doggy Dogg, yo.

Bustin' out superfly vocals that keep his lady friends perched, ready and on the edge of their seats, Shiro knows how to have a good time with his peeps and is not ashamed to show it. A big fan of the bling bling, Shiro is fashion fit and costume conscious, even willing to go a little over the top at times. Rich like butter and phat with flavor when he rolls, Shiro is well aware of the heads he turns along the way. Often seen hangin' with the big boys, Shiro is one tough cookie and knows how to paw his way out of a confrontation. But despite his occasionally feisty flare, Shiro is romantic and poetic, a true-blue Casanova through and through.

We luv-ed the wubba too much...

After fighting over the wubba, squeaking the wubba what the sis called insectantly (we didn't think it sounded much like a bug), we managed to chew a whole through the wubbas protective layer to reveal his inner core. This all happened in less than eight minutes. Then for some reason the Sis took it off of us. Something about eating the string fraying from the gaping whole and a strange worry about choking on the squeaker. Bah. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

New Picture and Update

Our Sister has been very lax in making sure that our blog posts get to you, our bloggy friends. Please forgive her business and forgetfulness. She also keeps getting sick. I think she should see our Vet. He seems to fix what's wrong with us pretty quickly. Anyways, it has been pretty much of the same old. The family brought up an old loveseat from downstairs for us to use as a bed. We do pretty well in sharing it. Yesterday we went to the park. Sometimes we get to play tug of war with the rag toy. When Sis is home, she brushes our teeth and gives us extra treats, and puts us on her knee to look out the windows and keep watch. I met a pretty little border collie Suzie. Today, Dad is taking me to the park without Shiro today.

~Akira

PAWS UP!

as of last update the Stillers are ahead by 1...we give that a paws up, too!

LOL Dog Caption Contest

We were introduced to a webpage called www.lolcats.com Notice the second word of the domain name...cats....yes we were reluctant for this reason, but we were assured it would be worth it. So we went, and as much as we still want to chase and eat cats, we still must admit these photos with captions were pretty humorous and clever. So we started thinking we might have some photos suitable for such play. And so it is that we announce the First Annual LOL Akira and Shiro Caption Contest. Here are the rules: There are three pictures of each of us. A semi- finalist will be chosen from the best caption for each picture, and then the three semi-finalists for each of us will go head to head to have one Akira-pic Grandprize Winner and one Shiro-pic Grandprize winner. The judges will be us, the Sis, ad a panel made up of our friends Crys and Mark, who are PCC certified--that's puppy cuteness certification-- and the winners will receive a copy of the picture with their winning caption, perhaps pawtographed by ourselves. Well Shiro hates having his paws touched, so the ink thing might be difficult for him, but at least a nose print. Mom says he's good at making dirty nose prints on the windows! Please submit your idea for caption, either in our blog comments or to our pee-mailSo. Without further ado. The pictures.....Akira #1^^
