Tanuki, akita inu.

Random am. akita I found on google.

American akita vs. akita.

When out walking Tanuki people often ask me if he’s an american akita. I think it is because when they think of the akita, they imagine them being red (and I just found someone posted a picture of him under the american akita tag on tumblr :p).

Generally people say one of the things that separates the two breeds is the american’s black mask, but many brindles have dark faces. They do have urajiro like the reds, but it shows in a lighter grey colour and not the clear white you see on the reds.

The white you see on Tanuki (dog on top) is not urajiro, but something called “Irish spotting” and is a remnant from the time all akitas were bred with other dogs. If you look at his legs contra his back, you can see that while his back is red, his legs are silver - that silver colour is the urajiro (now some brindles are actually silver brindles, but that’s a whole other story).

But for me the most striking difference is the size. The american akita is larger and more stocky (looks more like a bear), while the akita is lighter built and more “fox-like” in appearance.

There are differences in head shape as well, e.g. akitas have longer muzzle than americans.

I do understand that people mix them up, everyone can not be a dog geek.. but I think it would be so much easier to explain to people I meet if I had one of each. Or maybe not, people still ask if my “tiny” shiba inu is an akita.

“Yo, Kuma. What’re you doing? Kuma? Wanna play?”

Sometimes Kuma wishes the gigantic puppy could just leave him alone… especially when he’s cleaning his male-dog-parts.

I just rescheduled my surgery final next week for tomorrow.

“Oh, Marita! Why did you do that, that’s crazy!!”

Well, each exam period we get two tries, if we fail one exam we get another try at it. For som strange reason I signed up for the last exam date this period. If I fail the one next week I would loose a try without being able to resit before christmas. So I signed up for tomorrow. Now I need to get a week’s study done in 1/2 a day. Go me!

Gods of luck and logical questions - if you’re listening - please help me!

It’s been a bit since my last giveaway, and I know everyone really likes the backpacks, so I thought I’d give one away!

There will be ONE prize: A custom backpack with the fabric of your choice! Or, if a backpack isn’t quite to your taste- any other bag in my shop! Awesome right?

You do not have to follow me to enter- however, if you like Star Trek enough to wear a one of these backpacks, I’d say you have a good chance of liking my blog. Also if, when I select your name, I see you’re following me, you’ll get a little extra in your package!

And speaking of something extra: if you place an order between now and the deadline, use the coupon code 10STARTREK at my shop and get 10% off your order!

The giveaway will close on Saturday June 22nd at 9PM PST. The winner will be tagged in a post and I’ll also send an ask, so be sure yours is open. The winner will have 24 hours to respond to the message. If I don’t receive a response within 24 hours, I will select another recipient.

Good luck!

As I was walking the dogs last night before going to bed, this car stopped right next to me. I was starting to freak out a bit, then the driver rolled down his window, leaned out and asked: “Is that a wolf?”.

I get that question all the time, but from people who are joking. This guy was serious :p Come on… a wolf?

Vampire, here? Nope, you got the wrong address.
