No More Frisbee
“No more frisbee”. These are the words Kona heard yesterday at the vets. He began limping a week ago and we took Kona for a check-up. After x-rays, the vet thought maybe it was a sprain, and Kona was to spend a week on rest & relaxation, something he’s pretty good at. When the week …

Foster : Ciara-Goodbye
Earlly this morning, we said our goodbyes to Foster puppy Ciara. She headed up to Homeward Bound, where we’re sure she will be adopted in no time. We’ll miss this little moneky but we’re happy she is on her way to a GReat life adventure. Kona has spent the day in rest & recovery mode, …
Foster : Ciara-Day 5
Day five and we’re still alive having a great time with Ciara. Actually she has calmed down a little bit and will actually sit still for a few minutes at a time. Checking out the squirrels… But then her inner spaz kicks in and the action starts again. Giving Uncle Kona some love… Showing the …
Foster : Ciara-Day 4
Ciara started the day with a bath. Feeling fresh she celebrated being clean with a dig in the flower beds. Ciara has decided she is a night owl. In the evening she goes ballistic, performing puppy zooms all over the house. When dawn breaks, she catches up on her sleep all over the house. We …
Foster : Ciara-Day 3
Today Ciara decided she loved Kona and shadowed him everywhere. She now has moments of calm, something I think she’s picked up from Kona who is the king of chilling. Looking cool while relaxing… In a moment of spazziness, Ciara decides she has to show Kona how much she likes him… Things got a little …

Foster : Ciara
After a nice and relaxing weekend of camping, this litle trouble maker showed up on our doorstep. Ciara is a tornado 3 month old puppy with razor sharp teeth, which she snaps at anything within her vicinity.

Kona’s Arizona Adventure-Part 5
Our last days in Arizona took us to the Saguaro National Park. Surrounding Tuscon, the park is home to thousands of classic saguaro and other cacti species. Saguaro are slow growing and can grow to be huge like this one… There are many different shapes and sizes in the park. This is an old saguaro …
Puppy Party
Late Friday night, a trio of trouble showed up to spend the night. Three 9 week old Golden puppies. You forget how tiny Goldens are when they’re pups…even a soccer ball looks huge. Kona likes to sleep in…he slept through the late night pee breaks but he wasn’t impressed with the 6am wake up call…3 …
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 …
Return of the Sun
The sun was back in full force here in Los Angeles today with highs in the low 80’s. After work, Kona and I decided to get some vitamin D and hang out in the yard. He figured helping with gardening meant he had to be IN the garden. After some garden maintenance, we goofed around …
Rainy Day
It has actually rained here in Los Angeles for the past 2 days…really rained, not just a little drizzle. We really needed it and now everything is green and happy. Kona was getting cabin fever because we missed our walk last night, so when it started to clear late this afternoon we headed out for …
Kona Bird Dog
After a really busy work week, we took a small day trip this weekend up to Ojai and Ventura county. Kona was more than ready for adventure. Ojai is a nice place with lots of artists. That makes for some awesome shopping. The main street is a row of unique shops with one of a …

Life Lessons
Everything important thing you need to know in life you can learn from a dog. Stretch before you play…the downward dog yoga move is a good way to start…. …and make sure to stretch those back end muscles too. Tread lightly and always carry a tennis ball! Smile and the world smiles with you… Surround …
