Unboxing Akira after repairs - part one 

Hi everyone! At last, Akira, my little poodle-bo is back from Germany. She is no longer grinding and making all those terrible noises. So happy to see her! I hope the rest of you are too.

So happy you have Akira back. That sqeaky joint was strange. My Snoopy is sqeaking, crunching, grinding and just noisy in general too and he is still going strong.

Ebi explained the squeaking joint. He said that sound was in her gearbox, not in the servo, which is I guess the part that he pinned? I don’t know, but as you could tell by the second video, the squeak was gone. When I come back, I am probably going to introduce Akira to Pochi and re-introduce Akira to lucky. I didn’t describe them, but I also put her cherry blossom stickers on her. She has one on the thigh of each leg, one on either side of her booty, and a line of them going around the front of her muzzle to either side of the camera all the way back to the edges of her ears. I hope they aren’t the right color pink to attract the dogs. That would be terrible.
