April 8, 2002  Kira is built like a tank, but did go on a diet shortly after this photo was taken
Kira is our special old lady of the house
The trip home from Blythe, we are at a rest stop here.
Our stressed old gal loves her new pillow
Very food driven!!
Christmas 2001 - she hates cameras
Enjoying the yard
Kira has been a part of our family since August 2001 and has adapted in very well.  She is a quiet, easy-going girl.  She prefers to spend her days on the pillow in our bedroom.  At her age, we do not have any expectations of what she has to do with her days.  She is a dear heart and very treasured by us.  She starts off her morning going to both sides of the bed for a head scratch.  She has become very fond of Steve because he has put a LOT of effort into helping her overcome her fear of men.  She knows that he will give her a cookie every night after dinner and is very animated when it is time for her treat. 

We highly recommend adopting a senior citizen dog because they do appreciate the love and attention.  Kira has made our lives so much richer with her presence and the decision to adopt her has been repaid many times with our noting her progress.  She came from such a traumatic life that every positive step that she makes is such an event. 
The song is "Against All Odds"

Giving Mom a Kiss.  She is a dear sweet little old lady .  Well, I guess we both are ...
That sun sure is showing off my silver locks.
Kira hates the camera and retreats when she hears it focusing on her.
