Last weekend we went to Leenderbos which is near Eindhoven in the Netherlands. It was a cold, but sunny day and at days like this… hiking is just really nice.

Our Akita ‘Kensho’ doesn’t need much to be happy. He just needs to be with the people he loves, “the more the better” he seems to think. And don’t try to leave the group, since he’s counting all the time.

Just look at this happy face:

He’s great at posing for the camera. I taught him that. See this great face:

Today I received these stunning Akita pictures. It’s Daigo (this is Kensho’s brother) and Rona, an Akita bitch.

Dog Travel – Keep Your Akita Cool!

Akita’s (just like any other dog for that matter) don’t release body heat as effectively as humans do. Dogs are therefore much more susceptible to hot temperatures. My Akita dog Kensho likes to sunbathe but he has always access to shade and fresh water. He has a choice. Dogs in a car don’t have that [...]
