Look into these deep brown eyes and feel the wonder, the love of life. Every morning, as soon as I open my eyes, Kona is sitting next to the bed, staring intently at me with his beautiful brown eyes and a smile plastered across his silly Golden face. It is the goofiest thing but I …

Spencer-Remembering The Love.
In loving memory of Spencer March 1, 1998 – February 17, 2009 It is hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Spencer to cancer. I still laugh out loud when I think of some of his antics. He was an amazing dog who touched many other lives besides ours. An old …
Kona-celebration
Why is Kona smiling? It’s not because our lawn came back or that it is 78F (26C) here in Los Angeles…well okay, maybe that might have a little bit to do with it but the main reason is that Kona passed his basic obedience class. With a little more practice to make sure he has …
Whew, Wednesday.
Whew, it has been absolutely crazy with work and we have had very little time to get online in the past month but we hope everyone is keeping happy and healthy. Kona is almost finished his first round of obedience classes and is doing great. He loves to go because he gets tons of treats …
Niko
Over the holidays we got to foster this little whipper snapper, Niko, for a few days. At 3 months old he is a typical Golden Retriever pup…full of energy, mouthy, smart and very inquisitive. He knew his name and we taught him “sit” in a matter of minutes. Stay was another story. Golden puppies are …
Holiday Hiatus
Remember how you used to look forward to the Christmas break when you were a kid? How Christmas seemed like a magical time? Well, now that we’re all grown up, we’re self imposing an early holiday break from blogging. This holiday season, forget all the commercialism, turn off your computer and get out there and …
Hike
This past weekend was perfect weather for hiking. Off to Griffith Park we went, our destination…top of this hill. Kona found a less used path to the top. Easy for him, not so easy for us with all the overhang. Let’s just say there was much ducking and scraping on the way up:) Half way …
Pet Therapy Friends
We’re back from the Thanksgiving holiday break and we hope everyone had a lovely long weekend. This week I took Kona to meet up with the dogs of Spencer‘s pet therapy speech group from Northridge Hospital. It was great to see everyone again and we were there to honor Sophia, who is retiring from pet …
Fast Friday
Kona exhibiting his super sonic speed at a dog run in Santa Monica. The aftermath…super sonic snooze.
Weekend Fun
This weekend the weather was awesome here in Los Angeles, sunny and a little cooler (yeah, fall!), which meant it was a great time to be outside. Kona is continuing to settle in to his new life and has finally realized that all the toys around the house are his. He loves to play with …
Kona- The Essence Of Being
Today a busy and somewhat problem ridden week caught up with me all at once. It took me by surprise after having such a great time last weekend, visiting with all our blogging friends during Simona & Marco’s SoCal visit. Days like this sneak up on you, minute by minute, another issue rears it’s head …
Kona – Weekend Update
Kona has rested up from his big adventure last weekend and was raring to go for more fun this weekend. There’s nothing like kicking off the weekend with a game of frisbee before brunch. An who doesn’t love to chase pigeons? The Kona effect… On a walk Kona stopped to say hello to one of …
Kona & Friends
As many of you know by now Paco, Milo & Maya’s parents, Marco & Simona, were in California so we took a road trip down to meet them. They were staying with fellow blogger Val & her pups, Joey & Kealani, at a house on the beach. There were beautiful views. When we arrived Sammie …
