Akira came to us in the fall of 2009, after a friend of a friend could no longer care for her.  They came for a visit to see how well she would get along with the others, and at first it seemed there would be no issues.  We decided to take her in, and we put her with the others.  It didn’t take long for us to realize however, that Akira was different from any Husky we have or have ever met.  She was very timid, and wanted nothing to do with the others.  The others (especially Daisie) seemed to pick on her as if she were a school girl being bullied.  She spent most of her time curled up in a corner, and didn’t even want out come out to eat.  At the time, we had no Huskies in our house, but we wanted one.  We decided she would live inside.  We were concerned that she would never fully come around.  She fit right in.  While skittish at first, it didn’t take her long to fit in.  Everyone loved her, and we had no trouble house training her.  Today, along with Chance and Nadia, she still very much enjoys life in the house.  When the others come out to play, she plays with them with no issues.  In fact, she almost sees the fenced area as her domain.  Behind Holly and Daisie, she is our third oldest Husky.  She has never had any puppies because she was spayed by her original owners.  Many times we have felt it would have been nice if she could have had puppies, because she is a very beautiful dog.  Many have inquired on puppies that look like her.  It’s okay though.  We couldn’t love her more for who she is!
