Akira Update: As those of you following Akira's healing journey have seen lately, I've not been posting as much as we've continued to deal with crisis after crisis with Akira's post-surgery issues.
Since her amputation on 9/6 we've had challenges supporting Akira with pain management, drug...
A Tribute To Sheba: Yesterday we laid to rest Roy's cat of 15 years and Akira's BFF.

Akira is healing from having her leg amputated in September (poisonous spider bite...
