He's grown into a wonderful 105lb boy.
It took a lot longer to describe than it did for everything to happen. From start to finish was barely 2 seconds, so no time for a photo.
But if you're curious about my Akita, then here.
She's just over 4 years old and weighs in at around 130#. She's totally bonded to me, but she's learning that other people can be okay too.
Beautiful girl. Thanks. I know the bonding thing. My boy tolerates my wife. She broke her arm 5 weeks ago and he has become VERY protective of her. To the point she was going to leave for a birthday lunch last weekend with friends. He became very vocal when she changed clothes to leave and I didn't (weekend shorts and tee shirt). She tried to get her purse to leave and he came up behind her and blocked her against a chair "talking". He did not like that she was leaving without "all" of us. He has never done that before when she has left alone.
Not really. He is 78 pounds and 11'ish YO. We aren't 100% on age, he is a rescue. He has very long legs for a GSD. His heaviest was about 85, vet want's to keep him in the 77-78 range due to his age. And he is very hard headed!!
Yes, I should have said tall. His legs look like they don't end. Looks great for 11!
These are right after we got him. I think he was younger than we were told He hadn't even filled out yet.
It’s an ARIC conversion on a Berkeley County LE FN M4 Carbine upper on an FN M4 lower modded with BG Defense parts.
Runs like a scalded dog and has a ton of haters….haha
Well, it’s only been two months since we lost LuLu, and today we just lost our other border collie Bonnie. She had a stroke last year, and hasn’t really been the same since, but she stopped eating last week, not even steak or cheese, and wouldn’t really drink anything either.
It was time.
She went everywhere with me…I’m missing her pretty badly right now…
Everyone, and all pets were her friend… Hell on squirrels and water hoses though!
Kitties knew something was up yesterday…
Goodbye old girl….you lived a good life once we got you out of that hell hole of a puppy mill where we found you. And you enriched our lives beyond measure.
It was time.

I hope you can find comfort in the fact that you gave her a great life.
My sincerest condolences
Cash ready to take a calf back to the cows after being let up from being worked and branded. At 14, he doesn't take em back too fast 
Been there, it's the toughest thing I've ever done; but I knew it was the right call even though it's very little consolation.Well, it’s only been two months since we lost LuLu, and today we just lost our other border collie Bonnie.

So sorry - man it hurts so bad. I'm literally trying to find a new back from my girl today - she had one of those days last week that freaked me out.Well, it’s only been two months since we lost LuLu, and today we just lost our other border collie Bonnie.
