Dear Mr. Bear,
It's sounds like your buddy is just getting old. The average lifespan of the Akita is 10-12 years... so with the Cushing's Disease and all, I think he's kind of doing what people do when they get old--reverting to puppy-hood and puppy piles. Know what I mean?
Can you take him to the vet for a check up?

It probably has nothing to do with Cushings itself, just simply an older dog.
On another note, is your dog being treated?
