My new favourite selfie of me and the Baby Bear #MomentsofRay #NoFilter

Guess who’s bounding into the holiday weekend ready for fun and frolic with his friends?!? That’s right, it’s Ray Ray. He’s always looking for the next adventure! Especially when he can hang with Echo and @csteinerhavefun #MomentsOfRay #SaturdayAdventures #AkitasRock

An akita in one of his most natural environments — lounging. In this case with different folks at a few different places. #MomentsOfRay #AkitasRock #AkitaLounging

Ray getting caught up on Star Wars #BadBatch — he’s definitely my dog! #MomentsOfRay #AkitasRock #StarWars #WednesdayWatching

Ray Ray making friends wherever he goes. But as he gets older he’s developed a desire to be protective of young children (especially toddlers). Not sure why, but I ain’t gonna complain. #MomentsOfRay #NeighbourhoodFriends

Ray visited #RockCreekPark where he became their newest #BARKRanger. It was a fun and festive visit with a number of exhibits at #PeirceMill and I appreciate that the #NationalParkService had some goodies for our canine friends! (1/2) #MomentsOfRay #ParkAdventures #SaturdayFun #AkitasRock

Even after a week of “snowcrete” someone is still having a blast exploring and sliding around on his zoomies. it’s worth it to see the furry one so happy. The times he sits his butt down in sub-freezing temperatures to contemplate the meaning of life aren’t quite as much fun, though… #momentsofray

Curious dogs on a scouting mission #MomentsOfRay

My companions for breakfast today — one furry, the other feathery. A crow maybe? 🐦‍⬛ Definitely some sort of #corvus. I’ll take it as a positive omen. #BreakfastBuddies #AkitasRock #MomentsOfRay

January 2019 (Alexandria, Virginia) — He may come across as a lazy(ish) dog 🐕 most of the time. But when there are friends he is ready to throw down and play! It also doesn’t hurt when it’s not an overly humid season. 😎 So for this #FlashbackFriday here are some #MomentsOfRay #PupTimeWrestling #FBF

It may be the eve of summer, but it felt like walking through a vernal wood with Ray Ray today. Not that he cared one wit for the metaphor (sorry, Woodsworth); he was just happy to go exploring and a-sniffing. #MomentsOfRay #FridayWanders #AkitasRock

Ray prefers to have his own personal drinking bowl when out at the park. And this is how he keeps it exclusive. Yes, my dog is a snob. 🐕 And no, I can’t blame anyone other than me! 😎 #MomentsOfRay #DogParkDrinking #CarlyleDogRun #AkitasRock

Ran into a human “walking” his bunny and Ray was completely mesmerized by the way it moved. Maybe he thought it was a #tribble? So we proceeded to follow them around for 15 minutes. The one shot I am missing #WellMetInAlexandria #AkitasRule #MomentsOfRay (1/2)

Morning walks with the Baby Bear (aka Ray) yield some enjoyable moments. #MomentsOfRay #WinterMornings #OldTownAlexandria

Making friends wherever he goes! #MomentsOfRay #AkitasRule

How it started…and how it’s going right now! All after an early adventure with @brendanriebe and Bandi #MomentsOfRay #AkitasRule #SundayFunday
