Wolf's Den

My father in law has successfully made me cry. And in a good way.

I had a package waiting for me on the front porch today when I went to get mail. I wasn't really expecting anything, so it was rather a surprise. It turned out to be from my mom in law and dad in law. It was a heavy package and I wondered what on earth they could be sending me, especially since I told them not to get me anything else from my birth day, after I saw the cost of the Cirque Du Soliel tix in May they got for us.



I came upstairs and opened it. Mom in law sent me a new cookbook (I collect them) from Taste of Home, this one dedicated to Chicken recipes. Pretty cool, we like chicken and it gets boring after awhile, using the same recipes over and over. And a really cute card, the mom in law makes all her cards on her computer, and does a great job with it too.}:)

But the REAL treat in the whole package, was this book...



The very book I'd been wanting since I first heard about it roughly a month ago on the Akita rescue list. Not only did he send me this specific book, but he went so far as to cut an article out about the book and the man, and send THAT to me as well.

This book is about the man who single handedly SAVED the Akita-Inu breed from extinction during WWII. Yeah, THAT book.

I lost it. I hadn't said a word to anyone that I wanted this book. And here it is. Wow.

Garden needing finished? Rabbit bedding neading changed? What garden? What rabbits? *stares at book*

The man is 92 years old and still living in Japan. I need to so win the lotto so I can go meet him. And thank him for my Dante-Inu.
