Konichiwa Akane chan, a.k.a Miss Priss, Grand Dame, you sweet baby doll! My Beagle loving heart is doing flips at the sight of you!!! I agree with your Mom, you have the look of a puppy about you and the heart of one too! And you speak Japanese! My husband speaks Japanese to our Lab Star but like your brother, she seems less than receptive!

Bless you for coming into your Mommy's life when she needed you most Akane, helping to heal her heart after the passing of her beloved furkid; you were truly heaven sent, sweetheart! And I too have no doubts your predecessor is smiling down from the Rainbow Bridge, so proud to see you honored here today!

Keep up the work cutie pie, being the most loving and devoted companion a human could ever hope for! I hope you and your Schnauzer furbro are being spoiled rotten today, enjoying a very special and fun filled Dog of Day celebration! Congrats, hugs and kisses to you, precious Akane!
