Do you have any pets?

My cat Henry, now aged 15 months.

Nice one!

Does he take naps on your drums or keyboard?

I read somewhere that Akitas make great pets. Ever since I watched that Hachiko movie, I've kinda wanted one. They're supposed to be great for families with kids.

Akitas are beautiful, and very protective of their families. As Dino said though, beware around other dogs of similar size, and sometimes other people. One of the most wicked things I have ever saw involved an Akita and a Bouvier. They were about 100ft apart, Akita on a leash and Bouvier not. When they saw each other, they sprinted toward each other and went at it. Brutal fight ended with the Akita's jaws around the Bouviers throat. Owners separated them otherwise the Bouvier would have been torn apart

Fuuuck, That sucks balls.
Even when you see it coming, that's gotta hit you, commiserations.

It did hit me hard! Much harder than I thought it would. I'm not the crying type but I have to admit half into a bottle of scotch I broke down. It all hit me at once that I had them both longer than just about everyone I know these days.

That sucks man. New puppy time! (or too soon?)

It's not to soon but I just haven't decided what kind of dog and/or cat I want. My son wants a snake so after we get that I will checkout a few of the rescues around and see if any of the little guys make me fall in love right away.

Good luck Quiet reflections. In my experience while you don't forget the old one, the bond with a new pet grows quickly. Make sure you keep the snake away from whatever cat or dog you get!
