    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?
