Fun Facts
Kira
The flashing button at the top of this page show the word "Kira" written in katakana and hiragana (alternately). These are the two easier forms of Japanese writing. Clicking this button will return you to my HOME PAGE.
Dogs are no longer true carnivores. After 30,000 years of domestication, they are now actually omnivorous and require a certain amount of vegetables and grains in their diet. I was amazed to learn this!
I was told that Kira is half Chow and half Pitt Bull, but she looks like (and acts like) a Black Laborador. Only her eyes show any of her Pitt ancestry. She was born in the summer of 1993, so she is now 7 years old. That is considered "senior" in the dog world. She is the epitome of loyalty and devotion; and very protective.
Safety Tip
A simple precaution to protect your pet: Get a light coloured nylon collar and use a marker to write on it the pet's name and your phone number. (I have also added a glow in the dark tag (from a key chain) to help make her more visible at night.)

Pet of the Day - Vote YOUR pet to be pet of the day! This is a really neat site. I like it. You can also see "Dog of the Day" and "Cat of the Day" from this site.
- She likes to watch late night TV. She has learned how to use the remote (if its pointing the right way) to turn the TV on. I've been awakened more than once at 2:30 in the morning by the TV, to find Kira sitting at the end of my bed watching Jay Leno!
- Of all Kira's "likes" ... her favourite must be to "gofer ride!" She LOVES to "go bye-bye" Sadly, my car has broken down, I am moving to St. Louis next week (6/7/00), and we will be limited to the bus lines. Kira is going with me, but she probably won't get to "Gofer ride!" for a while. Maybe the 1017.5 mile trip will be enough to last her for the next year!!!!
(Yes! She has her own email address!)
