Astro, our first Akita, came to live with us in 1999. While I was showing an Akita for a friend, I saw Astro's dad and fell in love with him. I found out he had just been bred and I just had to have one of his kids. The timing was really lousy when this litter was ready to go to new homes, I had been laid off from my job and didn't know when I'd be gainfully employed again. But I just HAD to have him so I took a chance and brought him home and the rest is history. Couldn't picture my life without him!!!
