Dependents: Kayla, one Akitas; Jim, one male adult. (Thor, my other Akita, passed away)

What? You wanted pictures? OK, here are some pictures:

• My 1994 Christmas family picture (pre-Jim)
• Kayla as a cute, adorable puppy (she was cute when she was tiny)
• Kayla getting bigger, but still cute (she still looks like a stuffed animal)
• Kayla as a hyper, destructive dog (but resting at the moment)
• Thor, the regal adult dog (he is sweet, not a spaz like the bitch)
• Thor again (does he ever open his eyes?)
• My children posing for a picture (Thor still has his eyes closed)
• My boyfriend Jim (no goatee anymore, and his hair is shorter)
• Jim reading one of my magazines (Jim is going to buy me a BMW someday, right Jim?)
• Jim reading some of my junk mail (examine the fine print)
• Jim's butt, and my children watching with great interest (note my beautiful cookware)

Interesting Quote

Once a family of six visited New Skete and were interested in a German shepherd and admired the breed, but they were concerned over incidents they had heard concerning children and shepherds. We were surrounded by several grown dogs that we were evaluating together. The father of the family asked the monk who was showing them the dogs, "What is the point of a good breeding program?" At this point, a three-year-old toddler waddled over to one of the shepherds, grasped its tail, and gave it a good jerk. The surprised dog moved a few inches, turned, and licked the child's face. The monk turned to the father of the family. "That," he said, "is the point of a good breeding program."
