Pets

And last but certainly not least, is my Simkhe. In Yiddish this means party or celebration. And she does celebrate her life. Check out that front paw, it has an extra one on it with wth three little toes. Called polydactyl, or hemingway (guess ernest liked these cats) and they are supposed to be lucky. She has that extra paw on both front feet. She is the alpha of the four legged family here. And both the dogs know it so far, we shall see what happens when Kuma gets a little older. For now he is simply curious about this new creature he only noticed about two weeks ago.

Meet Kuma, the newest member of my family. Kuma means "bear" in Japanese.  He is now 17 weeks old (was a mere pup in this picture of only 12 weeks). He is a Japanese Akita and has lots of growing to fit in them paws. This is my fifth akita so far, i love the breed. I also have a 4 yr old at home and will share his pic next.

Lets share our family pics.
