As many of you know, we suddenly lost Akiva on April 4th 2016. We decided to have Akiva preserved by having him freeze dried. This is an extended process that takes a minimum of 4 to 6 months, once space in available. He has been out with the person who is preserving him since late April. The man working on him prepared him for freeze drying today and these are the pictures he sent.
It will take another 4 to 6 months from when he goes into the machine, which should be within a couple weeks now. We feel like he did an excellent job. He is going to adjust his head slightly, just moving it a bit lower, but otherwise this is how he will look.

This is a shot of the Neenah Public Library I took on 3/8/2015. The library actually looked at using it in a printed brochure, which I was pretty proud of. I caught it at blue hour, when the sky goes deep navy and the warm interior lights glow through that big curved wall of windows….
Akiva got a new toy and he could not be happier about it! Here he is on 10/5/2012 proudly hanging on to his new plush monkey, tongue out, sprawled on his favorite fun-print blanket. He’s always loved a good stuffed animal, and this monkey quickly became one of his favorites. That little face says it…
Here’s a fun one — a personalized dog blanket made for a pup named Riley. Soft blue fleece covered in little puppies, paw prints, and bones, with “RILEY” embroidered across it in bright yellow. A custom blanket like this makes a nice gift for a dog lover.
